I'm a long-time user but infrequent Wikipedia editor. I tend to only edit when I see something that can readily confuse the reader or prevent them from obtaining sobered information, including WP:NPOV issues when it comes to information supported by journalistic sources. Journalism is less reliable than ever, and since joining Wikipedia, I've noticed a tendency for those sources to portray information under an ideological or narrative-driven lens as a statement of objective fact, which risks negatively impacting readers' ability to simply gain information.

I am therefore a proponent of maximizing the use of WP:INTEXT whenever possible. Given the precipitous decline in journalism as a source of factual information about the world, I am in favor of a future on Wikipedia in which journalistic sources are presumed generally unreliable until proven otherwise.

I also often fix typos and syntax issues that I stumble upon.

I'm a proud expert on, and contributor to, the Bluebook legal citator!
