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.

How to see a list of the pages in a namespace
To see a list of all of the pages in a namespace (the main namespace has 6,900,933 articles, plus millions of disambiguation pages and redirects), click on Special pages in the toolbox menu on the left side-bar of your screen. At the top of the list that appears is the entry All pages. Click on that, and a pull down menu (to select a namespace) and a search box for entering a starting pagename appears. The namespace listing will start at whatever spelling you place in the searchbox. To get a list of only pages starting with a particular string of characters, click on All pages with prefix instead. To access these pages by link, use [[Special:AllPages]] and [[Special:PrefixIndex]]. – – Read more: Wikipedia:Special pages See also: Wikipedia:Namespaces To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{totd3}}
