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.

Check your work before you save, using Preview
When you edit a page, you can use the Preview button (located right next to the Save page button) to see in advance what your edits will look like. This lets you check your work periodically without filling up the page history by making lots of smaller edits. The preview function can also help you avoid mistakes, such as when using an unfamiliar type of wiki markup. The preview will appear together with the edit box you have been working in (either above or below it, however you prefer). An even faster way to preview a page is with the keyboard shortcut ⇧ Shift+alt+P. – – Read more: To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{totd3}}
