:Thank you for the kind welcome and the helpful links! I have been through the tutorial. I did a few tasks at the task center initially. Mostly though, so far I have been copy editing naturally as I read. I recently became interested in learning more about Japan. I think there is a lot of good content that may not have originally been contributed by native speakers. So I hope my copy editing is helpful. Aurodea108 (talk) 15:54, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
::That's great to hear! If you're interested in collaborating with other users on this, or if you have related questions/issues, then it may be worth checking out the WikiProject Japan ↗ and the Guild of Copy Editors ↗. Your copy-editing has already been very helpful and I look forward to seeing more of your work in future! -- Grnrchst (talk) 12:45, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
:::Ah yes, those are good tips! Thank you for the kind encouragement! Aurodea108 (talk) 03:33, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
