Things I love
edit- Old movies (anything 1970 back!)
- Old singers (Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Judy Garland)
- Languages (mostly Romance languages, but I dabble a bit in Mandarin)
What I use Wikipedia most for
edit- General reference
- Checking dates of events (mostly to fact-check friends and family!)
- To get lost in a browse, clicking from page to page (I can spend HOURS doing this!)
How I became interested in Editing on Wikipedia
editI opened an account years ago and never did anything with it. I became interested in the editing process as I posted a page of something I was interested in and was 'called out' for having a conflict of interest. I thought I was in trouble, but then the editor really took time to explain the process of editing to me (see my Talk page). It was through this dialogue that I realized how crucial the community was with Wikipedia. Because of this experience, I am now interested in providing Edit Requests to parties who are wanting their work to be verified for neutrality.
