Guys!

Hope all’s well.

I’m new to all this and was wondering how far do I go with editing?

The system says ‘This article may contain spelling and/or grammar errors’ but I found this particular article wordy too.

Should I just edit as requested, or make the article read better also?

My knowledge of history’s improving too!

Thanks very much, Richard
