(Clicked the Wikipedia Edit* tab, scrolled to the desired text, and then copied and pasted all characters in that section. Notice that the italics, bolding, and links came through. However, most of the links are red, since they are internal links for Wikipedia, not the Research Wiki. The Sweden link is the exception, as the internal or "shortcut" link within Wikipedia was similar enough to that of the Research Wiki that it was redirected to the correct page in our Wiki. [*Note - there was no need to register with Wikipedia, as Wikitext was only copied. No true editing of their site took place.] )

(Clicked the Wikipedia Edit tab, scrolled to the desired text, and then copied and pasted all characters in that section. Clicked each Wikipedia link separately, copying their URL's and editing the Research Wiki's links. Notice that the italics and bolding came through.
