Thanks Peter. Hopefully I will be able to do a good job. Figure81 (talk to me) 11:06, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Looking forward to your edits. Any questions please ask.--Peterdownunder (talk) 11:55, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, I like learning so far. AuntOf6 has a page that has helped as I learn simple Wikipedia. Are there other pages like this to help new people? Figure81 (talk to me) 23:44, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Writing in Simple English uses a limited vocabulary. These are words that have been selected, often because they have one simple meaning. Some of these words at first do not seem to be simple. Studying and using these will keep your writing simple. See Wikipedia:Basic English combined wordlist. --Peterdownunder (talk) 01:38, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for the link. It will help. I discovered your link to readability-score.com. It looks like a good website to use. As I make more changes I am able to remember which words are on the list and which are not. That helps make it faster to write. With practice I am sure I will be even more comfortable.
