I am new to Wikipedia. Although I have spend my hours of my life on Wikipedia, even reading its guidelines and such, it was not until recently that I have joined. First thing on my list, organize my user page. Next, begin hunting vandals, correcting grammar, and doing other minor edits for a while.
Now let me be clear, I do read and research a lot, but for a while, I will not be doing any major edits until I can actually edit properly, but if it is accepted, I will be offering my opinion on subjects I feel proficient in: encouraging others to research more.
