 * Hi there. Yes, looks pretty good. Well done! Martinevans123 (talk) 20:22, 8 February 2019 (UTC) p.s. another way of filling out refs is just pasting the raw url between the ref tags and saving it and then using this tool: https://tools.wmflabs.org/refill/. It's a bit quicker than always filling out the ref template by hand.


 * I've made a few tweaks over there to try and tidy it a bit. Also I've repositioned your signatures for you here - we don't normally ever edit other editors's posts, but I thought this would be easier and quicker as you have just started. Keep up the good work! You are obviously a quick learner. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:33, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
