From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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, and fixing dead links and bare URLS.

Tip of the day...
Subject bar template

The Subject bar template is intended to be placed at the end of an article, after the References or External links and before any navboxes and categories. It offers a variant to several floating box templates that link to books, portals, and Wikipedia's sister projects but that typically cause formatting issues because of their size and alignment.

The template's documentation contains several examples where links to books, portals and sister projects are shown in various combinations, all within the one Subject bar template. It offers an alternative to the multiple variations of portal templates that may appear in the article's "See also" section.

To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{totd3}}
