Eewilson

Hello and welcome! I am Elizabeth (aka, Eewilson) and hail from the Midwestern United States. I spend more than my share of time on Wikipedia, caring for cats, and performing genealogical research.

Teaching a child not to step on a caterpillar is as valuable to the child as it is to the caterpillar.

Be redundant.

Astigmatism is a semi-common, yet problematic, condition, that eyewear can correct with limitations. Please respect my need to align equal signs in the infoboxes and citation templates of the articles where I am the primary editor. Thank you.

Should something ever happen to me while our beloved Wikipedia is still operational (although I do plan to live to be 102), I ask that someone with a love for American asters, or the desire to have that love, take over the care and nurturing of the Symphyotrichum and related species articles.

{{Strong}} is not the same as '''bold'''. The two are not interchangeable and should be used in different situations. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Usability/Scannability.

• Template:Strong – documentation for a relatively new instruction related to "intentional and semantically meaningful" text that should not just be '''bolded''' but should also be considered important. This is not required, but it helps with accessibility.

• Similar to Template:Strong, but for mild emphasis. {{Em}} is not the same as ''italicize''. See Template:Em.
