What I Do
editI mainly do short descriptions but I am a big article creator and I am creating articles for every church in Leicestershire, now that I have finished doing every church in Rutland. See my Pages I've Created section. I'm also adding the name origin of places in Leicestershire. I sometimes fix typos and grammar mistakes if I see one. I also revert vandalism if I see it.
