Hi!

I've been a registered member of Wikipedia since quote: "23:34, 22 February 2006". I'm not a genius or anything, but I love helping out stub pages and expanding pages. Even though I've started this a long time ago, it was mainly to clean up grammar. Others do the large fixes, and I just clean the rest up. Recently though, when I was trying to research for projects and such, I found that the information in some articles were severely skewed or off. So, I started to fix them up and add more information to them. It was fun, but trying to learn how to cite articles and add links took a while to learn (make that a lot). Thanks to the administrators and moderators, I've been able to get most things right, but occasionally I accidentally deleted whole paragraphs without knowing (whoops!). Thanks to the many people here on Wikipedia, they have reverted mistakes and added much more to my simple additions. Thank you so much moderators and administrators!

Latest Things
One of my earliest largest projects was to read through the entire plot of West Side Story (movie). I wanted to add more to it since the plot written was very vague, and I just watching the movie, saw a lot missing. I read through, corrected grammar, and added. I have also added to typhus and one of my largest, Eastern River Cooter. The Eastern River Cooter was because I owned one as a loyal pet and decided to expand the stub and make this species well known. Red Eared-Sliders had one of the largest terrapin pages I visited, so I decided to expand based on that as a model. I learned to cite sources (finally) and I also learned much more about my turtle through massive research. Finally, my project is complete, I just monitor it every so often to ward off vandals. I am in the process of adding some pictures to liven the page up, however unsuccessfully. I'll keep trying!

And recently, on August 10, I decided to finally make a simple page about my account, Wickedpediadude (spoof off of 'Wikipediadude' which was already registered when I started mine). The bright red on the "View history" tab stands out like a sore thumb and makes me seem like an unregistered stranger!

The next thing to learn on my list in Wikipedia: How to upload pictures that I have taken myself. I am clueless about copyright information on self-taken pictures. Maybe I should learn more before adding other pictures.
