In Re: the countess
I've edited the Talk page on the Bradford article to better conform with the guideline you indicated; however, the guidelines you point to are relatively obscure on how a relatively low-activity user such as myself might more appropriately refer a SPA/COI situation to someone more active to do followup.

RE: User talk:209.136.235.138
Hi, received your message below. It was not a test - please reinstate changes. Thanks!
Hello, I'm KoshVorlon. An edit that you recently made to 2015 Coupe Banque Nationale – Singles seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!
