None of my recent edits is vandalism

Latest comment: 2 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Just a little note to anyone who might see my recent edits to this article from their watchlist. You might get a headache going through the diffs. But I assure you none is vandalism. Summary of what I did:

Formatted books titles in italics
Reformatted a citation and included an archive link
Reused the citation
Saw that there was already an exact copy of the citation with same name so I fixed name.

Just putting this here in case my edit don't get the message across. Happy editing! — Python Drink (talk) 00:15, 3 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
