Additional tips...

• Please sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically insert your "signature" (your username and a date stamp). The button, on the tool bar above Wikipedia's text editing window, also does this.
• If you would like to play around with your new Wiki skills without changing the mainspace, the Sandbox is for you.

You might also like to consider creating the user page User:EloquentAnomaly, so that your name doesn't appear as a red link in page histories. It needn't say much - even a single full stop has the right effect - but you can say more.

I've just realised that my use of the word "rectified" in replying on my talk page, a word I don't often use, was probably subconsciously suggested by your username: my trade union, back in the day, famously once carried banners saying "Rectify the Anomaly"! (Well, it was the Association of University Teachers - and I think the anomaly was the comparison of our pay scales with those of civil servants). PamD 10:37, 25 May 2026 (UTC)
