User:Professor Dafty

I'm relatively new to this, and I've noticed after musing around other people's user pages that one must create some sense of reliability, so here goes.

I joined Wikipedia (as of writing this its November 2016) after I noticed that the entry for Lee Mack had incorrectly listed him as being a current holder for the Guinness World Records title for most darts in inner and outer bullseyes in one minute. He actually broke two records in one day, but since then professional darts player James Wade broke the aforementioned title. Neither articles had highlighted this change yet, probably because it only happened a month ago and also the information is pretty inconsequential. I found out Lee's accomplishments after watching a clip of Would I Lie To You, and intrigued I wanted to find out how long he held the title for. This lead me to discover that, amusingly, the citation on Lee's page had already been changed on the Guinness World Records website crediting James Wade with the achievement.

I'm 23 and from North Tyneside in the UK. I had thought about joining Wikipedia before, though I was not sure the point in doing so would be. After noticing this small and easily changeable detail I was spurred into actually doing it. I'm not entirely sure how frequently I will be able to edit pages on Wikipedia. I will try to make changes to obviously incorrect information as and when I can, although I doubt this will be often as I do have a great deal of other commitments that take up my time. I've also noticed a few other users find the talk pages very useful. I will do my best to check mine now and again.
