Intro

I started on Wikipedia as a way to contribute without actually giving money. I feel less like a freeloader using this site for knowledge if I'm actually contributing to said knowledge every once in a while. While I'm sure Wikipedia needs the money (after all if I give $35 they'll stop harassing me forever) they'll have to settle for my keeping it a better place.

Disclaimer

There are people in the topics of interest I have met and have worked on articles related to them in some way, shape or form (e.g. meeting a legislator and working on an article about the legislature). I DO NOT ACCEPT PAY FROM THESE PEOPLE. These are almost always minor edits. This has never been a secret (I did get some constructive criticism when I first started here), but I wanted it here so that it is out in the open. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you feel I'm not being objective, I am turning into a zealot or I start acting like I am not here to build an encyclopedia.
