Your edits

Hello, it appears that you are using some sort of automated software to try to copyedit articles. Please stop this *now*, or you will be blocked. It is causing far more work for other editors than it's worth. Among other things your automated changes violate Wikipedia's guideline on dashes and most importantly its English variety guideline (i.e. incorrectly changing British spellings like "rumoured" to American ones like "rumored". If you're going to make changes as a new user, please make one or two at a time and make them slowly. If you want tasks to work on properly without toying with random articles, try typo team.

I'm glad you're enjoying creating your user page, but Wikipedia is not a social network or a place to promote yourself. Also thanks for the barnstars, but they're not give nout by new users simnply because they've seen a namea in the page history, so I've removed mine.

I'm not in the best mood; I've been spending all day dealing with a horrible anti-Trump IP editor, so I don't really feel like talking at the moment. If you want some real help go to the teahouse. Graham87 12:02, 27 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your userpage edits. There's also a Wikimedia Discord server if you fancy that. Graham87 12:25, 27 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

(end of template message) - Looks like nobody greeted you yet, sorry about that. I am an old friend of Graham who helped me here when I was new. There's much to learn, - not to edit other peoples' user pages ever seems a good idea. Ask question right here, - I'll watch. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:17, 27 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your note and your forbearance. I'm not usually in to poetry but Edith Sitwell sounds like quite the character! Yeah, I thought you were using Grammarly or something like that, which some new editors do. Re this rubbish though ... that's the sort of thing you can remove without comment, as I did. This sort of thing in developing country articles is distressingly common. Graham87 13:24, 27 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
