Tips 
 * Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
 * It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
 * If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
 * When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
 * If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
 * Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, paul2520 💬 02:36, 23 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi Paul. I'm not sure I want to go down the editor path. I'm a writer and a professor, and that keeps me pretty busy. In this instance I just wanted to correct a misquote, where Wikipedia quoted Thoreau in Walden as saying "Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity," when what he really said was "Simplify, simplify." (Withe only a single repetition.)
 * I'm hoping this is easy to fix?

 * Totally get it, professor. I think I fixed the edits you made. Makes sense.
