Don't worry about making an article perfect. Just make it better.

[edit] Wiki-specifics

I've been a registered Wikipedian since May 2004, after reading about the project in a friend's LiveJournal. It didn't take long for an obsession to develop. I enjoy fixing grammar, punctuation, and spelling errors, which is what first got me hooked. Since then, I've moved back and forth among a lot of different areas: wikifying, hitting the random page button and fixing what I can, sorting stubs into categories, cleaning unsuitable articles from the new pages, and Recent Changes patrol. Now and then, I create a new article: 80 so far. The most unpleasant to research was Creeping eruption.

  • Not every article needs cheese content. - Mgm|(talk)
  • The problem with Wikipedia is that it only works in practice. In theory, it's a total disaster. - Gareth Owen
