Jobs I find quite interesting:
- working as a criticality tester
- working as a fact checker at Wikipedia.
I hate rote learning - actually my brain isn't able to do this. This is why my life relies on Wikipedia.

Semantic algorithm on how to put up wikitables
start with
class="wikitable" count the number of total rows and total columns of your table. keep always in mind that the number of columns for each line has to add up with your total number of columns. when adding up, count both the actual entries made with "| string
string2 string3" (that would make three columns) AND the number of spanning fields made with "| colspan="5" | string" (that would make five columns ... so altogether this makes eight columns. identify the upperleft field. look at how many y = rows and x = columns it spans
if x or y is different from 1 than type
| rowspan="y" colspan="x" | string
where string is the string you want to place in this field.
if the first row has more fields, than input
| secondfield
thirdfield fourthfield note that this row is a child of your field "string"
to start the next row, type
note that all following lines will be row children of your "string" field until you have reached a number of y rows. after this a number of x columns will start which you have been specifing with rowspan="x"
go on for so until you finished all your rows. note that while you do not need to specify how many rows your table has, the number of columns always has to be the same for each row. this is due the fact that wikitable's syntax works by first demanding a row, than by specifing this line's columns.
end your table with
if you want to highlight a field, put "!" instead of "|" at the beginning of this fields line. to "unlight" the following fields seperate them from the highlighted with a newline. rember that for the atomic field size, you don't need to specify colspan and rowspan.

I propose to merge article A and article B. The reason is that both articles fail to differentiated themselves from each other.
In case you see good reasons to keep the articles separate, then please
# discuss these reasons here,
# modify both articles in such a way that precise and different definitions are given,
# modify both articles in such a way that both articles explicitly mention each other and show the difference between both terms,
# remove the merge templates from both articles.
