Hi! I like to wander around Wikipedia reading interesting articles. 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 common misspellings, BLPs, and rewriting tricky sentences to improve their clarity.

Tip of the day...

Citation footnotes

Use the <ref> tag to add references to your articles presented as footnotes. This tag is easy and convenient because it allows you to cite your sources within your text and have them automatically numbered and added to your References section at the end of the article. To cite a source, simply type the <ref> tag after the statement the reference is for.

For example: Haliburton park is the largest park in the world.<ref>Bill Harton (2005). http://www.linkhere.com. Retrieved March 3, 2005.</ref> Then, at the end of your article, add the following template to include all of the citations in your article: {{Reflist}} directly under the References or Notes section title.
