I'm back! I think. Had a multitude of real-life things to sort out, but now I'm motivated to return to Wiki-world. Maybe I'll become more active again, who knows :)

Hello fellow Wikipedian or random internet user!
I am delighted to meet you on my userpage here, although in fact I may be absent at the moment of your arrival. Please be patient, I'll be with you shortly! Have some tea or coffee while you wait,[note 1] and leave me a note on my talkpage.
This page will probably be filled with more info later, but for now I'll include a short (chronological) list of articles I've created, to keep track of them.
And while I try my best to properly source and edit, as a newbie, non-native speaker and plain old human I am prone to occasionally making mistakes. Feel free to correct them, and please do tell me in case it was something I should do differently in the future. I'd like to learn :)
And here's a tip on how to improve your (or my) writing on Wikipedia:
...
 Case and spelled-out abbreviations
Incorrect (not a proper noun): We used Digital Scanning (DS) technology Correct: We used digital scanning (DS) technology Correct (a proper noun): The film was produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Add this to your user page by typing in {{Styletips}} |

(I know, I know, a lot of drafts. But will finish them eventually.)
WIP ATM
Trying to use Drafts instead
For anything I'm planning to finish more short-term is gonna get moved to an article draft:
Draft:Shary Reeves(was deleted, now a restored Draft since mainspace has a stub article atm)- Draft:Picrolite (was deleted; might eventually get back to this)
Draft:Marriage in the Protestant Reformation(abandoned, will likely not revisit)
Restored Drafts

Planned:
- Nominate Grindelwald for Wikipedia:Good articles and make it into an April's Fool DYK with the hook "... that James Bond visited Grindelwald?"
Helpful ideas:
- Use {{doing}} to produce this icon and text
Doing... and indicate that a review is started, but not finished (in other words, stake you claim to a review and prevent others from taking over in the meantime ^^) - A way to check someone's DYK credits (for QPQ requirement): https://betacommand-dev.toolforge.org/reports/logs/dyk/LordPeterII.html

Note on account
This ("LordPeterII") is my primary account; I have no affiliation with similar usernames such as "LordPeter" or "LordPeterWimsey". The Roman numeral is used to distinguish from these, a practice I commonly use online since the regular LordPeter name is usually already taken.
I made a secondary account at LordPeter2go, which uses a different email and is used by me whenever I edit from my phone or otherwise on-the-go.
