Hey, I'm Ben!
I'm very much into the world of Wikipedia, and I enjoy editing pages and articles on this platform.
I like to add sources to unsourced content, fix up information or elaborate, mention and add prominent content that's often forgotten to bring up, fix grammatical errors, and such. Hence, I also enjoy researching subjects, matters, or people on which the pages I edit.
I edit articles that I'm interested in, regardless of the geography, language, origin, etc. of the subject.
I mostly edit pages of musical artists, media personalities, films, television shows, musical records, and actors.
I love watching movies, television shows, and streaming shows on Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, Prime Video, etc. I play piano, guitar, and ukelele; as well as love swimming, soccer, canvas art, singing, and some gaming.

General tips to a Wikipedian
edit1) — Always remember to sign your name on talk pages by clicking 
(if you are using the edit toolbar option (by default, it appears above the edit box) click the signature icon),[a] or by typing four tildes "~~~~"; this will automatically produce your name and the date. E.g. "~~~~" would convert into Sam (talk) 11:08, 25 June 2022 (UTC).
2) — If one is already excited about Wikipedia, they can consider being "adopted" by a more experienced editor or joining a WikiProject to collaborate with others in creating and improving articles of their interest, if they wish to. Click here for a directory of all the WikiProjects.
3) — Not mandatory, but it's best to always fill in the edit summary field when making edits to pages, as it let's you explain/summarise your edit in brief so other editors checking your contribution or the article's edit history don't misunderstand or get confused regarding it.

Hope it helps!
