Wikipedia Articles I’ve worked on

I first heard about Wikipedia in 2005. From 2005-2007 I had a hard time getting on wikipedia because of internet censorship in China. I like writing about stuff that I’m familiar with and that I don’t think other people would write about.

I’ve made a ton of minor edits but here’s what I put some effort into:
