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:
Robert Gauthiot, French Orientalist, linguist, and explorer, interrupted his exploration of the Pamir Mountains in July 1914 to return home to serve as a captain in the infantry. He received the croix de guerre before he was mortally wounded at the Second Battle of Artois in May 1916.
