Hello, hello!

I edit other people's work for typos because they exist. They will always exist because no one is perfect. And sometimes those make it difficult to read something. Or they're just plain distracting. For me, it's sometimes both. Thankfully, most people proofread, so my self-appointed task to help contribute is very, very, very small. Yay!

I add to articles if it will help, particularly with a series of links that provide other people an easier means to cross reference topics. I'm into adding and not so much deleting because deletion must be done very carefully, else it be viewed as a form of censorship.

That being said, the massive rewrite I did for Angel's Egg was probably the most labor intensive bit I've done yet. I felt a little bad doing it, but what existed before was lacking in detail and extremely misleading - I watched the movie and compared it with the article, and there was nothing there that related to the movie. It had to be redone. So I watched the movie again and rewrote the article as I watched...it's not all there, but it's summarized as best as I could manage with the complicated imagery that was being used. It has since been edited by other users, but that's okay, since what I came up with was verbose--the important thing is that it's been well-represented.

I enjoy using Wikipedia as a spring board to research because it gives me something to start with...and if it exists on Wikipedia, there's at least one other person out there in the world wondering the same thing as me.

I quietly enjoy the efforts of billions of hours of work that millions of other people have put into this digital collection of knowledge. And I hope you do, too. =)
