Welcome! edit
Hello, Stevehis390, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Elysia and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.
I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Note on British English edit
Hi, I noticed that in this revision, you stated in your edit summary that you were correcting the spelling of words. However, most of the "misspellings" you corrected were not, in fact, incorrect. They were British English. Per the Wikipedia policy MOS:RETAIN, "When an English variety's consistent usage has been established in an article, maintain it in the absence of consensus to the contrary. With few exceptions (e.g., when a topic has strong national ties or a term/spelling carries less ambiguity), there is no valid reason for such a change." Therefore, if an article is written in British English, keep the British spellings (organise, categorise, capitalise, labour, colour, etc). Hopefully this advice will be useful in the future!
