Regarding warning for Janey Godley edit.

Hello Eyer. I hope you are having a pleasant day.

I am writing to you because I just recently received a notification that my IP address has been logged for editing a Wikipedia article about Janey Godley. I was an anonymous user who frequently browsed Wikipedia for many purposes either seeing certain subjects out of curiosity or learning about one and only created an account on here to respond to your message. I do not know who this Janey Godley is and do not recall having ever edited anything on that page let alone any other page on Wikipedia. Surely this is a mistake? If you want to talk more about this, you can contact me on here.

Have a good one.

Tools for fixing capitalization, etc.

I mainly use two tools for this work: wikEd (select this under the "Gadget" tab in your preferences) and AutoWikiBrowser (see WP:AWB). The first is like a paring knife, and the second like a food processor. AWB runs most easily under Windows, and you will need to register. Both of them are more useful if you learn a little RegEx, but even without that knowledge you can change "former First Lady" to "former first lady". Just press the button for "Search is case sensitive" in wikEd or check the "Case sensitive" button in your AWB rule. Let me know if you need help, and happy editing!
