I began reading Wikipedia in the mid-2000's, but didn't really edit at all until making an account in 2008. The thing that actually got me to make an account was actually due to stumbling upon the concept of Wikipedia's "watchlist" feature. I signed up mainly to create one - I thought it would be a nice way to find out new updates on subjects I liked. However, while keeping an eye on it, I noticed how much incorrectly added information was added, and began my editing as an effort to fix things.
My interest in editing Wikipedia increased once I became more familiar with it, and realized just how influential it is. I noticed that the article's I was maintaining were almost always the first hit on search engines like Google, and were often mirrored to other websites across the internet as well. Knowing how readily available this information was, motivated me to become more involved - rewriting entire articles, creating articles, participating in article deletion discussions, etc.
At the end of 2012, I became an Admin. I enjoy being able to provide that extra help to people to enforce the websites rules. I tend to help people more who come to me, rather than spending much time at the the Administrator's help board, though I still help out there if something comes up that I'm knowledgeable about too.
As mentioned above, I tend to gravitate towards articles I feel wouldn't exist, or wouldn't exist in a very good shape, without my efforts. In the late 2010s, this eventually lead me into being pretty active into creating rock song articles too, as it seems that even with some of the most popular music acts, many song articles remain very under-developed or nonexistent altogether. By the early 2020s, my interests shifted to cancelled video games, another under-maintained area of notable content.
And if you're still reading this, below is a list of articles I've created or significantly rewritten in my time here at Wikipedia. Sergecross73 msg me 16:19, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
