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.

There are some other "Tables of Contents" type pages on Wikipedia. They are:
Wikipedia also has an alphabetical index of all of its articles, and a categorical index of most of them. – – Read more: To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{totd3}}
