Welcome
Hello, and welcome to editing Wikipedia. I hope you have a successful time here. However, I'm afraid there were some problems in your first edit, and I think it best to let you know about them, to help you avoid making similar mistakes again.

Wikipedia doesn't give preference to one national variety of English over others, and unless there's a specific reason for doing otherwise, you should keep the variety which was originally used in a particular article. However, sometimes there is a specific reason for using a particular national variety of English, for example an article about a subject connected to a particular country should use that country's version of English. Thus it is not a good idea to replace "colour" with "color" in an article about a British person, as you did.

You replaced "Gilmours" with "Gilmour's" in a context where the word was a plural, not a possessive. If you aren't clear about that then it's probably better not to try to make corrections involving apostrophes.

Wikipedia articles should simply report facts, and not make comments. It is not our place to make the judgment that people have been "happily" married; the plain fact that they have been married is enough.

Please feel welcome to contact me if you want any clarification of any of those points. JBW (talk) 14:26, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
