Hello, it's me.
I'm an active editor "apparently trying" to improve history-related pages. My area of interest mostly lies in the Arab conquest of Persia and Spanish Golden Age. Currently, I'm involved in fixing grammatical errors such as subject-verb agreement errors, improper punctuation, incorrect spelling, inappropriate word choices and etc. I believe that every page must be well organized and paragraphs must adhere to strict unity in their ideas.
Feel free to leave me a message in my talk page. Thank you!

The platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus), sometimes referred to as the duck-billed platypus, is a semiaquatic mammal endemic to eastern Australia, including Tasmania. It is the sole living representative of the family Ornithorhynchidae and, together with the four species of echidna, it is one of the five extant species of monotreme – mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young. Like other monotremes, the platypus senses prey in cloudy water through electrolocation. The male platypus has a spur on the hind foot that delivers an extremely painful venom, making it one of the few species of venomous mammals. This platypus was photographed swimming in a creek near Scottsdale in Tasmania.Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp
