From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello! I honestly had no idea this was a thing, and I'm far from a "proper" Wikipedia editor or anything, so in all honesty, I probably don't need one of these. However, I think it's cool, so I kind of want to do this anyways just for fun :)

Right then! So, as I mentioned above, I am no major Wikipedia editor/writer/whatever it's called to revise and write on Wikipedia articles. I don't really know. However, if I see something that's been overlooked, like a typo, or if an article is written badly and needs to be fixed, I will do so. Besides moments like these, however, I'm more or less just a reader here.

My Work On Wikipedia

[edit]

I've only ever edited four articles in my life (as of December 22, 2021), so I can't say I have prestigious experience.

That being said, here is a very brief (and way too drawn-out) history of "my work" here. I put "my work" in quotes because it really, truly is so little, and sarcasm seems to work here, so I'm rolling with it.

Charlotte Secondary School

[edit]

My first experience with editing a Wikipedia article was when I stumbled upon the article for Charlotte Secondary School on March 19, 2019. The info on the article was outdated, as well as written poorly, with odd choices in capitalization and a general lack of detail. I took it upon myself to completely revamp the article, adding more updated information and fixing any grammatical mistakes I found. I'm not the best with the more technical aspects of editing, but I think my efforts definitely increased the quality of the article.

Overall, this was my most extensive edit on Wikipedia.

Folklore (Taylor Swift album)

[edit]

To be honest, there's not much of a reason to put this here, but again, I'm just doing this for fun anyways, so may as well. On July 26, 2020, I was reading the Wikipedia page for Folklore (Taylor Swift album), when I noticed an extraordinarily small typo, where, in a quote from Taylor talking about the album, the word "songs" was written as "signs". This was just a minor detail that got messed up; it was all due to a tweet cited as a source for this quote, which also held the same typo. I simply fixed the typo.

I know that this is incredibly minor, as I only altered three letters, and didn't even change the amount of characters in the article. However, I figured it had a place here, as I don't really have much else experience editing articles.

Stephanie Beatriz

[edit]

As a fan of the TV show Brooklyn Nine-Nine, I decided to read the Wikipedia article on one of the lead actors, Stephanie Beatriz. As I read, something jumped out at me—in one instance of the show's name appearing under her "Career" section, the letter "e" at the end was unitalicized. To fix this, I just italicized it so it fit with the rest of the letters.

This is by far my most simple edit on Wikipedia. This title had belonged to my edit on the Folklore article, but seeing as with this one, I only altered one character (not even deleting or adding a new one, just changing how an existing one looked), I think it is safe to say that this one will forever stay as "my simplest edit". I know this is such a minor thing, but it's fun to pad this out.

The Puzzle Master

[edit]

Once again, I enjoy watching the TV show Brooklyn Nine-Nine. I happen to be rewatching and I decided to read the Wikipedia article on the episode I'm about to watch, "The Puzzle Master" (I've been doing this as I rewatch to learn more about the details of the episodes). I'd just watched "The Box" (great episode), and was curious what the critic consensus was on the upcoming episode.

However, unlike all the other episodes, this one was formatted rather strangely. The box with all the information regarding the directors, producers, etc was gone, as was the intro paragraph that should establish what the episode is called, what show it's a part of, etc. Furthermore, the article was instead bogged down with information about puzzles and puzzle masters in general—my guess is that somebody mistakenly edited this article, thinking it was actually supposed to be about puzzle masters, rather than an episode of a TV show—which led to a lack of clarity and logical sense. I did some digging and found that this change happened on December 11, as the edit before in November had all these key elements present.

What I did was simply restore the November version of the article manually, deleting the irrelevant parts and copy/pasting the missing elements from the November version of the article.
