Hurrmic (talk) 29 Oct 2008 I write fiction when I have time, and I can sharpen my writing skills as I help to improve Wikipedia articles. I am interested in a wide range of subjects.
Wikisaver62 (talk) 26 Oct 2008 I am already part of the grammar wikiproject and the CVU so thought i'd top it all off with this. Now I can start. Note that I don't have much free time but I will help whenever I can.
Gonzonoir (talk) 25 Oct 2008 I've been cherrypicking from the backlog for months; thought I'd make it official.

tanankyo (talk) 09 October 2008 I'm a professional copyeditor. I like words, but I like them best when they function with other words in the way they should.
Dr. Robinson 7 October 2008 I'll help!
Anafar (talk) 30 Sep 2008 I've done some textbook editing (long story -don't ask) and think I have a good grasp of spelling, grammar, punctuation, and sentence flow. Around intermittently...I often edit new pages but would love to help out here as well. Music is my big interest, but I'm also good with bios.

Garonyldas (talk) 21 Sep 2008 I was editor-in-chief of the literary magazine and chief copy editor of the newspaper in high school. While I don't have a whole lot of experience I'm still interested in helping out where I can, and this seemed like as good an opportunity as any. My favorite thing to do is make sure articles have a consistent tone from one section to the next.

WiccaBex (talk) 11 Sep 2008 I'm a writer with a slightly irritating habit of correcting everyones grammar and spelling. I decided I should do it officially. My main interests are biology/medical sciences, religion/philosophy/art/music, but I will try anything

Pywacket (talk) 17 Aug 2008 Each time I innocently look up an article on Wikipedia, I spend the next several hours correcting bizarre English translation problems and moving relevant punctuation to the INSIDE of the quotation marks. As I apparently enjoy this type of tedium, I'm officially signing up to fight the good fight. (We are SO outnumbered!)
Dureo (talk) 16 Aug 2008 Interested primarily in history related articles.
Momoricks (talk) 15 Aug 2008 I decided to create a Wikipedia account when it seemed like every article I was reading needed MAJOR copy edits. I'm looking forward to working with you all!

Shirulashem (talk) 10 Aug 2008 Here to help
Nazgul533 talk contribs 10 Aug 2008 When I see grammar mistakes, I just have an intense "itch" to fix them. So I'll try to help. :-)
Bicentennial Baby (talk) 10 Aug 2008 Well, unfortunately I'm a proofreader by trade, so I guess I should do some 'pro bono' work here...
Espoo (talk) 09 Aug 2008 Making this into a popular project that doesn't scare off anyone (like LOCE did) and therefore gets a lot of help from huge numbers :-) of "normal" users that consequently learn to follow usage in reliable sources and eventually get the entire community to respect this much more than now.
Blehfu (talk) 08 Aug 2008 I lurk mostly on music pages, but I'll gladly {{citation}} and {{harvnb}} refs anywhere. I think I'm also some sort of tone fascist.
Song (talk) 07 Aug 2008 Since I seem to be very good at picking out other people's mistakes, I'll be glad to join. =) I'm an avid reader, so I can probably tackle most anything on books.
