Hello Mythoplokos. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

I'm S0091, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge. Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type  here on your talk page and someone will try to help. To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Mypage/sandbox&action=edit&preload=Template:User_Sandbox/preload create your own personal sandbox] for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put  on your userpage.

Please remember to: The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
 * Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the OOUI JS signature icon LTR.png button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes  at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp.
 * Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.

I hope that my reworking of your edit (basically excellent - it fills the section out nicely!) meets full satisfaction! I have regularised your references into standard "wiki" format and added a few parameters - but otherwise left things pretty much "as was" (any mistakes that I missed will still be there!) so you may want to go back to it when you have been granted full privileges.

The "unencyclopedic" text another editor objected to were stuff that was already there - I have recast these.

And welcome to the Wikipedia editing team! From the look of this one we can expect some very useful edits from you in the future. --Soundofmusicals (talk) 18:01, 8 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks so much for the warm welcome, Soundofmusicals! Very kind of you. Yes, I decided to find a new platform of procrastination (as if I didn't already have enough), but tbh there's very good chance that through contributing to Wikipedia I'll have a more of an audience than I will ever have with my actual academic work :) Just now need to start learning the ropes re: the standard mark-up and the written and unwritten rules of the community!
 * And awesome that you put my edit to the article - thanks a lot for going through the trouble of fixing my references, fetching the ISBN's etc., (which really should have been my job!). Hope to work with you in the future as well! All best. Mythoplokos (talk) 21:47, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
 * "For these kind words accept my thanks, I pray" (W.S.Gilbert). I share your hopes for future collaboration, but as you imply, some things are really your job! Take it as a practical demonstration of what you will quickly find becoming second nature with a bit of practice, rather than something I would be expected to do again. The block you ran into when you attempted this edit yourself is intended for casual users, and is one you may already find no longer applies to you, in which case you may well want to edit your own text (especially as modified by me) as well as that of others.
 * There's something else I'd like your (frank and informed) opinion on, too; but I am very tired and I'd rather leave that for "another time". --Soundofmusicals (talk) 22:38, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
