My specialty is wikifying and copyediting smaller articles to remove glaring errors. When I do add major facts, I tend to heavily add references to ensure their verifiability. I prefer to write articles instead of discussing rules, but feel free to chat with me within reason, especially if I mess something up.

These days, I often look over featured article candidates. These articles, if featured, serve as precedents for related articles under development and become the most visible pages on Wikipedia. I usually check for consistent date formatting—problems there often portend issues such as inconsistent cite style or incorrect grammar. I will oppose an article that continues to have those issues throughout, because prose must be clear before it can engage.

I registered a second account, AnAltName, in case I need security on public computers. Please post on this account's talk page if there are related problems; use the prefix "AnAltName: " in the heading of new topics for those.

Registered Wikipedia users can try my Monobook or Vector style sheets. (Place either one under User:Yourname/yourstylepreference.css)

Auxiliary Territorial Service
The Auxiliary Territorial Service was the women's branch of the British Army during the Second World War. It was formed on 9 September 1938 as a successor to the First World War-era Women's Auxiliary Army Corps, and existed until 1 February 1949, when it was merged into the Women's Royal Army Corps.
