Hi! I like to wander around Wikipedia reading interesting articles (and then almost inevitably editing them a little). You can often find me on pages relating to monarchies, especially pages of lesser-known royalty and their families, courts, and companions.

Whenever possible, I try to improve articles by doing some clean-up work – usually fixing grammar, typographical or formatting errors, or bringing errant alternate spellings into line with the rest of the article. I welcome any feedback on mistakes I’ve made. If I am unable to respond promptly to any messages, I apologize in advance; I live with chronic pain and often have to take short breaks from editing.

My particular interests include helping new editors, common misspellings, BLPs, rewriting tricky sentences to improve their clarity, fixing dead links and bare URLS, and cleaning up AI-generated text.

Tip of the day…

Archives for lengthy talk pages

Archiving is used on talk and project pages (never on articles) to keep them from getting too long to be useful, while retaining older discussions in case somebody should need to refer to them.

The preferred method for archiving a talk page is to copy the older content to a series of subpages. This can be performed either by hand or automatically by a bot.

You may find these templates helpful:

  • {{Archive banner|state=uncollapsed}} (full page width banner)
  • {{Archives|auto=yes|search=yes}} (float right box)
To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{totd3}}
