Sometime in 2005 I added the Wikipedia search box to Firefox and my life changed, suddenly enlightenment was only a tab away. I started correcting typos, adding a few paragraphs here and there, until I set myself the challenge of making a serious contribution, of finding a deficient article and bringing it up to standard. The Core Contest, a push to improve flawed or incomplete articles on crucial topics, gave me the impetus needed, and the list of entries confronted me with Pop music, the only candidate I could possibly contemplate. Although a musicologist and a melomaniac, pop is by no account one of my favourite styles, but at least I was versed on its history. My only significant contribution to this encyclopædia, therefore, is encapsulated between these two diffs, 26 November and 27 December 2007.

During the month it took me to research and write the page I discovered the other side of Wikipedia, the talk pages and userspace, the noticeboards, commitees and IRC channels. I didn't like what I found, and as I finish the rewrite I've decided to end my editing days. I shall continue to use Wikipedia as my main reference but never again will I click an [edit] link.
