Wikipedia Activity

I began as a Wikipedia editor in September 2003 under the username

succession boxes
on Wikipedia into one uniform format. When this project was largely achieved, I mostly retired from Wikipedia editing, the bureaucratic fights becoming too troublesome and frequent. In early 2015, I returned due to my increasing use of French royal and aristocratic articles and my realisation that so many of them included major factual errors. Despite some conflicts and compromises, I have made it a personal mission not to overlook factual flaws in articles while I browse the site, using both primary and secondary sources where possible to illustrate my points. I also have returned in a reduced capacity as a succession box editor.
