Welcome![edit]

Howdy OSFTactical,

Welcome to Wikipedia, and a special thank you for your constructive edits on various wikipedia pages - it is greatly appreciated. I saw your note on one of the article talk pages asking for feedback, so here you go! I've reverted a few of your changes for a couple of different reasons: First thing is that if an article is written in "British English," should be left that way, per Wikipedia:Tutorial_(Keep_in_mind)#English_dialects. Second is that per Wikipedia:WikiProject_Martial_arts#Capitalization, broad types of martial arts should not be capitalized (i.e., aikido should be lower case unless referring to a specific school). Lastly, please be careful in your comma editing. I've noticed a few places that you've removed commas which should have remained (like where you removed the comma before the word partly in "Aikido derives mainly from the martial art of Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu, but began to diverge from it in the late 1920s, partly due to Ueshiba's involvement with the Ōmoto-kyō religion." No harm though - that's why there are multiple editors here... so we can catch each other!

If you have not already, you can click "watch" at the top of any pages that interest you to create a watch list from which you can monitor your favorite pages for incorrect changes (while keeping in mind that we don't own them).

I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might find helpful:
