Articles
editArticles worked in small groups need to be developed collectively in the sandbox of one of the members (group leader) before publishing it into Wikipedia. All participants should contribute individually to the contents (all edits are recorded in the page history).
Suggested headings you could work on:
History Economic relations Resident diplomatic missions Cultural diplomacy Italian Brazilians/Australians/... Brazilian/Australian... Italians
You might also want to look at the See Also section and think about what links you want to add ....
Group sandboxes will be listed above. For a user named "Johndoe22", his sandbox is [[User:Johndoe22/sandbox|]]
)
Please note: if you want to expand an existing article, please copy first the wikitext of the article into your sandbox, then work on it safely.
