I've started several articles about Hospitals, State Parks, Hiking/Bicycle Trails, and Ghost Towns in my local area, as well as editing already existing local region articles. I thought I lived in a rather boring rural community until I started studying it. Wikipedia makes it fun to give back to the community.

I'm in highschool, I'm a cheerleader, and I'm here because I think it is cool to be part of a project that is used by people all over the world everyday. :) Actually, I first came here to beg a sysop that blocked my school not to file an abuse report against me for vandalizing, and I thought it was cool how they were able to spot vandalism so fast, so I'm learning how to do it myself and I hope to some day be a sysop. <3
No one can precisely describe himself/herself the best, its their surroundings who can best describe them. my motto in life is that I Remember the past, but live for the moment, while keeping my eyes ever forward to the destiny that I create today.This is precisely me. I love reading and writing. Knowing, interviewing and talking to authors is my hobby and work too. One of my favorite quotes is- "Know your worth"
Hi! I'm Faith. I am a dog lover and I am so excited to learn and grow with Wikipedia. It is a little early to be thinking about a job yet, but I am seeking a career as a professional ballet dancer or a Biotech engineer.
I'm interested in what makes each person unique. My work on Wikipedia is to help get the word out, and make sure it's factual and truthful.

I am a Go-getter who takes success as an ongoing journey rather than a final destination. I love to conquer the heights of successes one after another than stopping after one. I won't stop till I reach my target and if I burn out, I will rise from the ashes. "StepBackWhenYouSeeMeInAction!"
I am a sociologist who has taught Classical Social Theory for many years at California State University, Chico. Recently though I have moved to Thailand where I am faculty in the Peace Studies program at Payap University in Chiangmai in the north of Thailand.
I'm an art historian and researcher (with a focus on the 18th and 19th centuries in England and France) interested in writing and editing articles about notable womxn of these and other time periods.

The familiar seat is again vacated. A new resolution, if another iteration of the resolution of two fruitless years may yet be called new, is ideated, broken, and fades away. Another wake is traced on the lake in the overcast morning for the wind and waves to heal.
Some mornings, the wind is less gusty, and sometimes, it being weaker, the tall grass bends and undulates less therein. Sometimes the wavelets subside into ripples. Sometimes the sky is streaked rather than smothered with cloud. The lake, its colour being to some extent a reflection thereof, may assume a deep, thoughtful blue.
The wakes may be longer sometimes. They may be more turbulent, wider, or closer to the passers-by on the shore. The latter may turn for a moment and regard the passing vessel with slight disinterest, before resuming their stroll. None of this matters, because the wake still will not last.
The seat will again be occupied. More hours will be whittled to malformed scrap with decisions in which will not be found even the strength or rigidity of dollar-store thread. The time of progress has arrived, and it will leave its passenger behind, for it does not suffer hesitation well.
Sometimes we reach for the stars. Sometimes we know that the stars are out of reach, and that we need to move on. There will not always be tomorrow. There will not always be another day to waste.
Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those timid spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.
72 year-old retired man who competed in athletics as young man (now just walk around the neighborhood, etc),but want to enter a page in Wiki about my alltime favorat athlete who also had a remarkable career at both the scholastic and collegite levels. He was a track champion and record holder in the 440 yard sprint (this was in the 1950s & 1960s before metrics in US)

I'm a historian ... tried signing up under Hi-storian, but was told the username was "too close" to existing username "historian" ... after trying a couple variations, this one stuck. I've been using Wikipedia for ages, started making minor edits as an IP off and on for a year or so. Started realizing that a topic I was researching needed a lot of work, and having a username might help me manage things better. Also had a couple friendly users encouraging me to sign up, so here I am!
"Wikipedia contains serious misinformation concerning the bible. I cannot contribute $$ to Wikipedia until the format is changed to allow for correction, which at this time it does not, shown by my attempt at correction being disallowed even though I included links, my changes not deleting the original text, but only constructively adding to. Also, the cosmolgy section is obviously edited by consensus people with little regard for alternative theory. I suggest alternative theories be written in Wikipedia, and linked to the consensus article.
I'm interested in publishing references to the work of scholars who died before the Internet was as pervasive as it is today so that their work will easily be found.
I've used Wikipedia thousands of times, so I decided to make my own account. I'm interested in cars, planes, transport, cities, cameras, photography, TV and YouTube, both of which I watch a lot of.
I was born 1963 and for the first 12-years was a dependent to an Air Force USA enlisted father. My mother was a classic 18-yr old young lady excited to be seeing the world and starting a young family. I have a 3-year older brother who is an independent business man working in surplus. He has a full family. I learned at an early age that kids like to bully and especially in groups. I was introduced in the front of many schools as we changed locations about every 2-years. I learned to adapt and make friends easily. My brother had his friends and I had mine.
Fast forward, after finishing high-school and staying in one house from 9th grade to 12th. It was nice to make long-term friends. I then worked hard at low-end jobs. 13-different jobs to be exact by my age of 27. lawn boy, Dishwasher/Janitor, pool-boy, beer trick driver, ditch digger, ebayer, fleamarket seller, cable yard-man, forklift operator..and on and on. I can see (with hindsight) it was a good thing as I can relate to what most folks are doing to survive.
Got a Electrical Engineering degree "late" in life 28...got a good job at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in 1990. I worked off-and-on at KSC for 20+ years the last 8 being a Government Servant (GS) for NASA. I have managed projects in various capacities and was especially captivated with Software PM. I was a PM during a phase that a company I worked for drove (and got) CMMI Level 3. Critical solid rocket booster ground testing.
I have gotten into the last 50-(or less) years of my life. I plan to try and bring about revolution in PM study and especially how it can relate to engineering positive social change, complicated, complex long-term projects and team morale.
Condemn none: if you can stretch out a helping hand, do so. If you cannot, fold your hands, bless your brothers, and let them go their own way.

I am just here to talk about superheroes, superpowers and stuff like that. I was born pyrokinetic; I want to see who else likes super-humans, or perhaps is different.
I undo edits and have nothing good to actually write here, unless its about foxes. But everything I can find on foxes is pretty up to snuff, so I'll just keep RCP'ing

When you call yourself a Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of manikind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence. So a man (or woman) who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system; he or she is concerned with the total understanding of mankind. J. Krishnamurti
I made my first profile in April of this year, quickly abandoning it due to a busy school schedule. Now, since I can manage my homework better, I've decided to created a new account. I hope to be able to edit, learn, and enjoy myself during my time on Wikipedia.
I am a physician-scientist and medical school professor specializing in sickle cell disease. There is an unmet need for a publicly available summary of hydroxyurea (FDA approved drug) specifically in its use for sickle cell disease. I would like to start a new very detailed page on by using the following strategy: Combine the extensive bibliographies from three authoritative review articles from prominent peer-reviewed medical journals, and build a more concise Wikipedia text that references this extensive bibliography. There is presently a Wikipedia entry for hydroxycarbamide (hydroxyurea), but I envision a very detailed article very focused on its use in sickle cell disease. The goal is to translate peer-reviewed medical journal material into simple language readily understood by the lay public, and then allow its editing to occur via the Wikipedia users/editors. Is this appropriate for Wikipedia?[1]
I am an olfactory art specialist (curator, critic and historian), co-founder of the Scent Culture Institute in Switzerland, a think-tank that focuses on the sense of smell in culture, business, and society; and advisor of the Institute for Art and Olfaction in Los Angeles. I am also the founder-director of Artinect, a consultancy that connects art and people, virtually and physically.
{Are there people available to work with me to help me organize and write an article pertaining to a musician who has claim to fame? I have started the page but am totally overwhelmed by the requirements to have an article or piece created and approved. I have the newspaper articles and proof of the significant accomplishments. But need someone to help me put it together... I am not asking for the staff to do this but maybe someone who has completed an article and can walk me thru it and advise me.
I want to participate in the building of the encyclopedia because it is a great resource, and I kinda feel bad cause I used to vandalize it a long time ago. I used to be a cheerleader.
I'm a postgraduate student of English literature studying at the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom. My main focus is on Japanese mythology in modern media, and as such I have a keen interest in the curation and creation of pages pertaining to the works of writers such as 小泉八雲, 井上円了, 寺島良安, 水木 しげる, and any pages relating to 怪談, 妖怪, and 物の怪.
Since my undergraduate degree was in film studies, I also have a vested interest in the proper curation of film pages. Problematically, many of the films which I endeavour to study have little information written about them in English, and so it is somewhat difficult to create a comprehensive wiki page for them with my limited understanding of the Japanese language. Nevertheless, by using the works of scholars such as Michael Dylan Foster and Zilia Papp, I continue to attempt to shed light on some of the more obscure creations of East Asian cinema.
If it was easy everyone would be doing it ~ Hello I am trying to get some asst as to how to begin to make talk pages and pages on people in general I would like to know how to begin to make pages on people from the beginning to the end I would like to know how to start them and then how to finish them as well so that when I submit them I know that they will be accepted. Any information that you give me will greatly be appreciated.

I had a strange addiction to just reading Wikipedia policy and userboxes in 8th grade during the end of the school year. It's finally getting put to good use.

My name is Cedrick Orven Corrales, Cedrick for short. My purpose in Wikipedia is to learn, basically I have been using Wikipedia since 2006. I have been through half of the wonders of this amazing website. Why would you buy an Encyclopedia in real life, if you even have Wikipedia on your hands, and all you need is an internet to get it. Search anything that you wanted to know for a long time. The picture I had shared above was trees. Just like any articles, you watch it grow into a full stub, then, if someone were to cut the article, it would be made into something more special and then replant it again to create another.
I'm a software engineer interested in helping keep articles up to date, as well as learning about how large communities can work together to produce great things.

I'm new! Started editing last week at an event. Since then I've been poking around expanding articles where I can and working on crafting my first article. And whenever I look things up on Wikipedia (which is often) I pay attention to see if there are any grammatical errors I can copy edit. (I was pleased with a sentence fragment I caught in mayonnaise.)
I joined Wikipedia because I saw an error in this article and I wanted to fix it. And I figured that maybe I should just stick around and fix some more stuff. And so I'm here.
I am a corporate representative and would like to edit wikipedia and undo some of my bad karma by making the world a more open place and a place where people can feel better about things and at ease in leaving behind a world where they don't have to worry about their future generations.

I'm a musician, and a producer. Many of my clients and colleagues are well known artists and I like to help them get their wikipedia entires updated when necessary.
I began by doing minor spelling and grammar edits a couple of years ago. Now, I want to create a page for Martha Brockenbrough, a notable writer. I'm struggling with the creation part. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Martha_Brockenbrough
We tend to think of science as a "body of knowledge" which began to be accumulated when men hit upon the "scientific method." This is a superstition. It is more in keeping with the history of thought to describe science as the myths about the world which have not yet been found to be wrong. (p. 37)

Good morning! My name is Ceannlann gorm, and I'm a recent addition to the editor hordes here on Wikipedia. My interests include strategy games & RPGs*, aerospace/spaceflight, robotics, Sci-Fi, and Military History & Technology. So far I've gotten a great welcome in the 4 days or so that I've been a member (long time lurker/hit & run anon editor before that), thanks very much for that. See ye around!

I have created my first article on Wikipedia. It was declined, but I'm not giving up. I have revised the article and wish to have someone check it before I resubmit. Here is the link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Sounds_of_Imani
I have used wikipedia for years and have never come to respect it's importance until recently. I hope to help out however I can. My interests are global politics, culture, history, and mediating! (and bugs)

I'm a chinese born - filipino, which they call in the Philippines, Chinese mestizo. I would like to explore my knowledge more by being one of the contributors of the world's free encyclopedia. I believe that sharing knowledge to everybody and enlighting someone from their errors would set free them from their innocence.^_^
I am a multimedia artist, photographer and videographer. I am new to wikipedia. I am creating my first article about a very prolific artist who passed away.
He was my brother and I am the heir to all his artistic legacy. English is not my first language. The article has not been accepted yet. It was good because it is forcing me to spend more time trying to improve it and make it better. I wonder if I can get any feedback and help of how to improve it in the Tea House. I will be very grateful to any correction in syntax or whatever that could help it to be accepted.
I'm a researcher/writer in my day job and I use wikipedia extensively to familiarize myself with new topics before diving into research literature. I frequently come across mistakes or missing information, and I want to be able to fix them appropriately instead of leaving obnoxious complaints on talk pages. My educational background is in biology (microbio and immunology) and I am very interested in working on biology/medicine pages, but my day job involves researching chemistry and materials science, so I have an interest in those topics as well, just less accumulated expertise.
I decided to write an article when, in a fit of procrastination, I couldn't find the information I needed. If anyone would be willing to take a look and give me some feedback and/or edit it, I'd really appreciate it! I live in the UK, I'm 25 and female.
I'm just looking for a way to blow off some nervous energy. I work as a researcher (20+ years), I love working in teams. Very happy to help other Wiki editors with citations. Ping me!

Hello, I am from Mumbai. I am an enthusiast street photographer and I love to walk around the unexplored streets of Mumbai and click pictures. I wish to contribute to Wikipedia articles devoid of photos with my photography.
Just when you think you have achieved, you see you never wanted it:

I have discovered my adopted past after 77 years. I have original documents preserved from 1936/7 showing my birth name and mother[birth certificate]. Also the original application form for entry in to 'The National Children's Home and Orphanage" showing the name and address of my father[confirmed as correct in the house records of the time]. My own research has confirmed the family connection using DNA analysis with a male member of the identified family of my father. My fathers family has accepted the family link and this is shown in the Genealogy sites 'GenesReunited' and 'Ancestry.com". I am in friendly communication with both maternal and paternal families. My identified parents and adoptive parents are all deceased. My paternal family members are in the entertainment area and as such have Wiki pages. I had a half sister and it is her family I am in contact with as she died some ten years ago. I want to know if I am able to insert my link in with my fathers page together with the verifiable documents from the Orphanage organisation. These include letters from Ministers of religion, my mother and grandmother, orphanage Matron and welfare officers.
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

I'm a Lecturer in Film Studies at Queen Mary, University of London in the UK. I run a course on research methods for undergraduate students where the students evaluate and edit a Wikipedia article on a film of their choosing, to improve the scholarly standards of the article. I'm also a cat-lover and a foodie.
I think that Wikipedia is neat. There are a ton of things I've learned via Wikipedia, and I want to contribute other things I've found outside of Wikipedia. Sadly, I'm kind of new at the whole thing so my style on edits aren't top-notch; hopefully my skills will improve over time.
