I edit Wikipedia occasionally[citation needed]

I followed a fun Wikipedia progression I think; I started out doing minor edits and adding short descriptions, then really got into doing Guild of Copy Editors events, then Articles for Creation/NPP, and then I’ve really gotten in to making Good Articles, while still keeping my hand in on all the previously mentioned things. I love it here and I’m going to keep churning out AusPol GAs for a while to come. That’s my hope at least.
