Some of the reasons I have a Wikipedia account along with some of my interests...

FAMILY I have a large family with many ancestors on Wikipedia. I add relevant information about my ancestors and immediate family.

SPORTS I am a Division 1 football player at Lafayette College, my twin sister is a Division 1 basketball player at UConn, and my younger brother is a Division 1 football player at the University of Maine, so I know a decent amount about sports.

ACADEMICS I am a mechanical engineering major and physics minor - I have strong interests in aviation, space flight, and military technology.

MILITARY I know a lot about the military (compared to the average civilian) having been nominated to the United States Military Academy (West Point) and the United States Air Force Academy, and receiving a 4 year Navy ROTC scholarship offer.

POLITICS I follow politics - I am pretty conservative, yet I listen to both sides and form my own opinion (I watch Fox News and listen to people like Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh, but I'll also tune in to MSNBC to see what their side of the story is). I have a few friends that are liberal, so I take their views into account, but I usually disagree with liberals about 80% of the time. In 2007, I worked at Congressman Patrick J. Murphy's office in Doylestown, PA as a summer intern, and he is a democrat. So I am able to work with liberals, and they tend to have respect for me because I'm not one of those "close minded conservatives" as they say.
