Hi, I'm AtticusX.
Most of my edits are copyedits (cleaning up typos and grammatical mistakes and so on), but sometimes I'll find reliable sources on a topic I'm keen on and I'll spend a while converting those sources into new Wikipedia content.
My interests are varied and include: themed entertainment, classical and world music, circus and other performing arts, and geographical locations.
One of my pet peeves is advertising or brand promotion.
I think Wikipedia's pretty nifty as a means of sharing knowledge and promoting self-directed learning.

Basic copyediting
Discovering that pages need basic copyediting may surprise new visitors to Wikipedia. This is because the encyclopedia is a dynamic work in progress, published while it is being developed and updated in real time by people all over the world. Millions of the articles need simple improvements. You don't have to be an expert to edit Wikipedia. Just click the edit tab at the top of the page and start typing away! Copyediting involves the "five Cs": making the article clear, correct, concise, comprehensible, and consistent. So, if you see something you can fix, click on the "edit" tab at the top of the page, and start typing in the edit window to fix it. Be bold. And, if there are any facts you know about the subject that are missing, then please, add them in! For general help with editing, see Wikipedia:How to edit a page.
