Me
Hello and welcome to my page. As you can see below, one of my main aims is to add pages on people and things not currently covered. They may not be perfect, but once created, other people will polish them off :)
- The expression, "polish them off [sic]" means to finish not improve, expand, or refine. Don't you mean, "polish them"? Btw, another vulgar use of "off".Autodidact1 (talk) 22:11, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
