Welcome[edit]

I was a constant user-less editor on Wikipedia for a decade after discovering it around 2006. Being in elementary then high-school I first made dumb edits; breaking and then requiring articles to be reverted. Then I made smaller less noticeable edits as I entered teenagedom, still trolling the website and still being fixed by ever attentive users, to who I apologize to profusely, the editors of George W. Bush are saints. Then, upon having to do research on actual subjects I saw the light of The Encyclopedia. I began making small grammatical and formatting fixes that I saw randomly, still as whatever IP I had. Lately since finishing my degree I've actually taken to fixing articles. From adding sources when I can to looking at the nuts and bolts, the meta Wikipedia.

2016: I'm still trying to learn all the wiki etiquette so if I make a mistake feel free to berate me.
2019: Still green, I'm apparently always going to be green here.

Cycling Not a large presence on wikipedia. But knowledge of technical details as a mechanic and historical and current experience as a fan of the sport. Managed a bike store for 2 years.
Anime and Manga, I've been consuming more and more of this in the past 3 years so my knowledge of the people and the companies of the industry have increased significantly.
