Here its transcription:
Meld is a graphical program for comparing files or directories, and I
love it. Here's the home page so you can get a quick look at how it
works and what it's capable of:

http://meldmerge.org/

I don't use all of its features, but it seems to get more and more
fancy as the years go by. (:

As far as using it for comparing the contents of a sandboxed page
with a current wiki page, what I would do is:

1) Copy the contents of my sandbox page into a text file named
sandbox.txt on my computer.
2) Log on to the Ubuntu wiki.
3) Open the Ubuntu wiki page in the online editor. This will
temporarily lock the page so that nobody else can edit it.
4) Copy the contents of the Ubuntu wiki page and paste them into a
text file named wiki.txt on my computer.
5) Open Meld.
6) Open wiki.txt and sandbox.txt in Meld.
7) Visually compare the two files and make decisions on what to
change, if anything. Meld lets you click the little arrows to
transfer the contents of one file over to the other at the specified
location. If you would rather not do that, Meld lets you manually
edit the files as though they are in a text editor, so you can type
or delete or select text and do with it what you like.
8) If changes needed to be made, once you have sandbox.txt just the
way you like it, click the Save button at the top of Meld.
9) Close Meld.
10) Open sandbox.txt and copy the contents.
11) Paste them into the Ubuntu wiki page in place of the original
contents.
12) Use the Preview button to make sure everything looks good at
Ubuntu's end (Ubuntu may use different styles or tags than your
personal wiki, so your page may look different there and may require
some tweaking).
13) When you have it the way you like it, add a comment in the
comment box and then save the changes.
