Who the heck do I think I am?

(Note: This user page is under construction, so it'll look particularly shabby for a while until I gain more experience in editing user pages.)
Daniel913, obviously.
But anyway, I've always looked through Wikipedia whenever I was bored.
I noticed that a lot of the articles I looked at had citations missing and things like that, but I didn't really pay attention to them.
However, on April 3, 2010, when I went onto an article for the manga Psychic Academy, I noticed the page had been vandalized.
For some reason, I felt that I should delete the vandalism, so I made an account and edited the article.
Since then, I've been editing articles in minor ways like grammar, deleting vandalism, and other pursuits.
I've been slowly coercing myself into making larger edits involving more effort, such as translating.
Well, I primarily disambiguate internal links, add citations, and delete unverified claims/vandalism if I can find it.
Also, I used to add the Acclaimedmusic.net charts for "Best albums of (insert year here)" and "Best songs of (insert year here)", but if I'm not mistaken, they've all been added for the 90s (the decade in which I specialize in, music edits wise), and I may add the charts for the rest of the 80s.
I usually edit music-related articles such as "(insert year) in music" and articles for random singles or albums that I happen to stumble upon.
These articles are usually riddled with things to edit, so I never really run out of articles as I just have to find them.
Another series of articles that have lots of room for improvement are articles for individual days.
I go on these regularly, anyway, so it isn't taking too much out of my time.
If you can't tell by now, I'm not that heavily involved in Wikipedia.
For the moment, I'll be patrolling the recent changes and making my regular edits, but probably not much more than that.
Nikola Tesla (10 July 1856 – 7 January 1943) was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and
futurist. He is known for his contributions to the design of the modern
alternating-current electricity supply system. This photograph, taken in Tesla's laboratory in
Colorado Springs in December 1899, supposedly shows him reading in a chair next to his giant "
magnifying transmitter" high-voltage generator while the machine produces huge bolts of electricity. The image was created through a
double exposure as part of a promotional stunt by the photographer Dickenson V. Alley. The machine's huge sparks were first photographed in the darkened room, then the photographic plate was exposed again with the machine off and Tesla sitting in the chair. Tesla admitted that the photograph was false in his book
Colorado Springs Notes, 1899–1900.
