I consider myself a very small-scale contributor to the Wikipedia. I created my own account due to an IP-block against my ISP preventing access. At this stage I'm little more than a hedge-clipper, ironing out minor flaws in articles, with only a few exceptions where I've made more substantial contributions. These are normally articles within the realm of South Africa, where my (minor) knowledge of the history or structure of the country in the past and present allows me to fix up some details.
I also have a few pet fixations:
[edit] Photos
I come from a beautiful part of the world. That's great, but no reason to fill pages with irrelevant or redundant photos. They can—and should—be stunning when possible, but must above all be encyclopedic.
[edit] Infoboxes
I find these give pages a little more structure, and a better look, to be honest. I add them when appropriate.
