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.

Try to see it my way!
Frustrated by the comments, edits, and reverts of another user? Remember, behind that sig line is another human being, just like you! And just like you, that person wants to see his or her ideas come to life on Wikipedia. If you feel yourself getting angry, hurt, or frustrated, explain yourself in a reasonable way and politely ask that others involved in the conversation do the same. But do not expect everyone to agree with you. Differences of background and opinion are part of what makes Wikipedia so great! – – To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{totd3}}
