Normal levels of vandalism. purge

Hello! My name is TCMemoire, but I respond to Spirit or Memoire. I have been a Wikipedian since July 2013. I am currently semi-active, making a few edits every month. I am mainly a member of WikiProject National Register of Historic Places but also participate in WikiProject South Dakota, WikiProject Ghost Towns, and WikiProject LGBT.

I participate/have participated in multiple projects and perform several behind-the-scenes tasks, including anti-vandalism and stub sorting. I use Twinkle, HotCat, and Huggle.

I'm always eager to help where I'm needed. Remember that I am only human; I will inevitably make mistakes but am always learning. Feel free to leave any comments, concerns, etc. on my talk page!

These are the articles I have either created or improved enough to help appear on the front page in the Did you know section. Please read below and learn a thing!

Articles I did not create but have expanded a fair amount (about >3000-ish bytes of prose), heavily cleaned up, translated, and/or gotten to DYK. Also serves as a bit of a to-do.

Bolded are top priority.

Moved here. A big thank you for these kind messages of encouragement!
