==Categories in Userspace==
Hi! I noticed that in your scratchpad / draft / alternative article [[*]] you have the categories still activated, so it's showing up in [[:Category:*]]. Could I suggest that you deactivate them (by putting a colon before 'Category' in the link) until such time as the article is in the mainspace rather than the userspace? (As per [[WP:CG]], "If you copy an article to your user namespace (for example, as a temporary draft or in response to an edit war) you should decategorize it".) Cheers, ~~~~
==US vs. UK spellings==
Hi! Always nice to see a new face at Wikipedia - I hope you enjoy your time here. I'm posting this here to comment on your recent changes to [[*]]. It is Wikipedia convention where there is a spelling choice difference between US, UK, and other countries' varieties not to change to another variety without a good reason (see [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style#National varieties of English]]). '*' is an accepted spelling, and Wikipedia aims to be an international encyclopedia. It's not a big deal, but I thought I should mention it as some people are likely to be annoyed if you change '*' to '*' in every article. Best, ~~~~
