Hello, this is Gina Karp and this is my first Wikipedia post. When I was a high school English teacher, I was engaged in a losing and very one-sided campaign against the use of Wikipedia by my students. Recently, while I was doing some research for class, I got the annual pop-up asking for a donation to help Wikipedia do its work. I realized how much I used Wikipedia personally-- how much I enjoy that it exists-- and made my donation. Rather than continue fruitlessly trying to get my students to use other sources, I decided to join the ranks of volunteer editors. Today. I look forward to working with the zillions of other Wikipedians who also like history, culture, literature, politics, humor, social activism, creative writing, movies/tv shows that are like movies, podcasts, nature, hiking and GenX arcana.
