Hi. I'm Lady Greensleeves.

re:Copy editing.
You do not need to ask permission to edit a page. When copy-editing, you must simply make your edit, then as a summary type "copy-edit". These edits are rarely reverted. Wikipedia has a policy called Be bold. Essentially, so long as you believe you are correct, make any edit you wish. If you insert fallacious information, it will be reverted without much fuss, so long as it wasn't deliberate. Regards, I,  E   • Wouldst thou speak? 14:48, 25 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi! As stated above by I, Englishman, you do not need to ask for permission to edit an article. I'm not entirely sure if you ment to edit it here or if you want to copy the article to another website. If you copy the article to another website, just add a link to the article on wikipedia. I'm sorry that I won't be able to answer you any questions about the article Treasure of Lima... I seem to have written it in 2007 and don't even remember about it ;) Just add what you know about the subject to the article... try to add sources, for example by adding a link to an online source (like Some source about the subject which will result in a link like this: Some source about the subject ). You don't have to know any editing trick for the beginning (or even later) ;) Other users will improve the formating of the article with time... If you want to, you can always klick on "Edit" and look at the "source" of the article to see how some of the formating has been achieved (to be honest, I have to look into article sources myself all the time since you can't remember every single little trick). Don't be ashamed to make mistakes, especially at the beginning, and don't let yourself down just because you didn't know some rule around here... wikipedia is its own little universe of rules and judges ;) you cannot possibly know all of them and you'll for sure never stop learning about this place around here... hope I was of any help :) ColdCase (talk) 15:33, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Your edit request
Hi. I'm going to respond here since this doesn't directly have to do with improving that article. I certainly didn't mean to offend you with my reply to your edit request and I'm sorry that you took offense. You are absolutely welcome to edit or make suggestions as soon as you want. I was just trying to give you some friendly advice on how to contribute with a minimum of unneeded conflict right at the start, while you are getting used to the culture here. I'd still offer the same advice, there are plenty of unambiguous errors to correct, but please feel free to disregard it. Regards, Celestra (talk) 03:35, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer be able to have them marked as minor by default. For more information on what a minor edit is, see WP:MINOR or feel to get in touch.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 23:13, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
