'I'm back! I think. Had a multitude of real-life things to sort out, but now I'm motivated to return to Wiki-world. Maybe I'll become more active again, who knows :)'

Hello fellow Wikipedian or random internet user!

I am delighted to meet you on my userpage here, although in fact I may be absent at the moment of your arrival. Please be patient, I'll be with you shortly! Have some tea or coffee while you wait, and leave me a note on my talkpage.

This page will probably be filled with more info later, but for now I'll include a short (chronological) list of articles I've created, to keep track of them.

And while I try my best to properly source and edit, as a newbie, non-native speaker and plain old human I am prone to occasionally making mistakes. Feel free to correct them, and please do tell me in case it was something I should do differently in the future. I'd like to learn :)

And here's a tip on how to improve your (or my) writing on Wikipedia:

Articles I created

 * Lake R'Kiz
 * Wiener Demokratischer Frauenverein
 * Henry Ehrenreich
 * Latest: Polymateria

Other useful links (well, useful for me)
Primary Sandbox: User:LordPeterII/sandbox

Secondary Sandbox: User:LordPeterII/sandbox2

Tertiary Sandbox: User:LordPeterII/sandbox3

Quaternary Sandbox: User:LordPeterII/sandbox4

IMPRO Sandbox (intended to test potential improvement of existing articles): User:LordPeterII/sandboxIMPRO

(I know, I know, a lot of drafts. But will finish them eventually.)

WIP ATM
User:LordPeterII/WIP

Trying to use Drafts instead
For anything I'm planning to finish more short-term is gonna get moved to an article draft:


 * Draft:Shary Reeves (was deleted, now a restored Draft since mainspace has a stub article atm)
 * Draft:Picrolite (was deleted; might eventually get back to this)
 * Draft:Marriage in the Protestant Reformation (abandoned, will likely not revisit)

Restored Drafts

Planned:
 * Nominate Grindelwald for Good articles and make it into an April's Fool DYK with the hook "... that James Bond visited Grindelwald?"

Helpful ideas:
 * Use to produce this icon and text  and indicate that a review is started, but not finished (in other words, stake you claim to a review and prevent others from taking over in the meantime ^^)
 * A way to check someone's DYK credits (for QPQ requirement): https://betacommand-dev.toolforge.org/reports/logs/dyk/LordPeterII.html

Check here if you want to hijack other's work to promote to DYK

 * Good articles/recent
 * New articles by topic

Note on account
This ("LordPeterII") is my primary account; I have no affiliation with similar usernames such as "LordPeter" or "LordPeterWimsey". The Roman numeral is used to distinguish from these, a practice I commonly use online since the regular LordPeter name is usually already taken.

I made a secondary account at LordPeter2go, which uses a different email and is used by me whenever I edit from my phone or otherwise on-the-go.
