Hi - just a couple of issues to raise with you
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I thought it might help if I dropped by to let you know a couple of things that you've not quite done right with your first few edits here. People always say we jump on new editors if they put a foot wrong - and that may be true - but I always think that critical feedback ensure the encyclopaedia gets better and that editors get better. So, number one: please would you only mark your edits as 'Minor' if they are simply a typo fix or simple punctuation correction? Nothing else is regarded as minor - even the addition of a few words can make a significant change in meaning to an article. We have some further guidance at WP:MINOREDIT which explains that other people have 'Watchlists' and keep an eye on articles, but often don't want to be alerted by genuine minor edits.

Number two: this one is a bit more awkward, and unfortunately is worth raising with you now, rather than causing you grief further down the road. Put simply, you have chosen a really bad username to edit from, because it implies that more than one person has access to this account and its password. I'm afraid that goes against our editing policy (explained HERE) which states that we require separate individuals to have their own account. We actually tend to 'softblock' such accounts which imply 'shared use', so the simple way to avoid problems is for you (irrespective or whether you are one or two people) to a create new account each, choosing a less ambiguous username. It's quite easy: just abandon this account, forget the password, and never use it again, and create new accounts. But please feel free to carry on editing the draft you started at Draft:Frances Rushworth. If you need any help, just drop by to our new editor help forum at The Teahouse.
