Other sites' log-in pages work without problems. Other Wikipedia pages including editing (tested in Sandbox) work OK.

A spring-powered car has interesting possibilities. I expect it would take more than human strength to wind up a practical model. This could be a new variation on an electric car?

Essentially, the tree model works something like this example, in which S is a sentence, D is a determiner, N a noun, V a verb, NP a noun phrase and VP a verb phrase:
1.2. The 1.1 black 1. dog 2. barked 2.1 all night 2.2 until the break of day.

NP VP

D N V NP

The resulting sentence could be The dog ate the bone. Such a tree diagram is called a phrase marker. They can be represented more conveniently in a text form, (though the result is less easy to read): in this format the above sentence would be rendered as:
((The dog) (ate (the bone)))or
((D N) (V (D N)))or
1.1. The 1. dog 2. ate 3.1. the 3. bone.
or

Discussion of the effect of internet on communications. The Internet is the first mass communication medium where "Everyman" can easily be a publisher. The printing press was the first mass communication tool, but only the rich or powerful had easy access to the input of information. Later technologies that refined the printing press, audio recording, movies, radio, and television, retained the model of restricting publishing to a small elite.
The Internet is the first mass communication medium that is a radical departure from the printing press model. Among others, the TV network powers should be very afraid of losing their information oligarchy. But perhaps they don't yet know enough to be afraid.
