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… User Subpages Many users like to create user subpages to store various bits of information such as welcome templates or other information. For example, if you are drafting a new page that is not ready to “go live”, or proposing major changes in redrafting an existing page, a user subpage may be very useful. To create a subpage simply visit your User page and then append the name of the subpage in your browser’s URL bar. For example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:CoolDude would become http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:CoolDude/MySubpageName. When you press the ↵ Enter key you will be prompted to create the new subpage. If you no longer need a subpage, or wish to have it deleted, you can mark the page with To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{totd3}}
