User:Adam mugliston/Adopt/Entry/Joseph Steven

Welcome to Adam Mugliston's Adopt-a-User program! As that I don't know much about you, I would like you to fill out a questionnaire that I made.

But before that; About Me.

Me

I have been on Wikipedia for almost 4 years, although I did sometimes have long breaks. So far, I have made over 5,300 edits. I mainly create and edit articles to do with buses, as that is my hobby. I also do some anti-vandalism work, I'm a member of the Welcoming Committee and I also potter around with other bits and bobs. My other interests include various other forms of public transport, cats and music. I am usually on for a very short while in the mornings, about 7.30am - 8.30am and then I am on from 4pm - 10.30pm (all times in GMT). On weekends I am usually on from 8.30am - 11pm.

You

I am self-employed as a consultant and work mostly in the realm of finance (but--I enjoy history/politics as a hobby). I don't have a ton of edits, but I try to actually throw in some good content when I make my edits and I find the best challenge (so far) is useful/neutral edits on the political pages. People get quite heated on some of those.

About Yourself

Age: 25-34

Your interests: I like really getting into a topic and learning about it, and then being able to make significant additions to help Wikipedia on it. I find it fun to sift through the data (true/false/ulterior motives/etc) and make a concise summary and then get/give feedback with other Wikipedians.

When are you online? Random here--sometimes I may hop on a little in the morning, sometimes late at night if I'm free

Your activities on Wikipedia: Mostly I have just been trying to write significant (and sourced) additions to political pages (both sides, don't care)--only because it really is the best challenge I've found so far.

How long have you been on Wikipedia? As a registered user, not too long.

Out of 1 - 10, rate how advanced you are: probably a 2

What you hope to get out of mentoring/adopting

Is there an area you think we should particularly work on? In particular? Not really. I just want to be a useful contributor to Wiki and I really enjoy the community for the most part.

What do you hope to achieve by the time you graduate? Just to be more familiar with how the whole "system" works so I can be more efficient and useful to the community as a whole.
