Editing a Topic Description
Descriptions are articles that can be edited by the Freebase community. Some topics have been seeded with the first paragraph or two of a Wikipedia article, but these can be replaced and a new description can be written to take its place.
To edit a description click Edit Description, then click Save. Click Cancel if you don't want to save your changes.
WYSIWYG editing of rich text isn't supported at this time in the standard topic view in order to encourage topic editors to focus on writing brief descriptions suitable for viewing as a search result. The only formatting supported is the carriage return. More extensive information should be captured in property values, not in descriptive text.
