I've used Wikipedia for many years, and I'm just learning to edit. Input is certainly appreciated.
My interests include physics (completing undergrad this summer), chess (1700 USCF), and policy debate (debated four years). If you're working on a Wikipedia project related to any of these and would like the help of a total newbie, drop me a line. I'm a great researcher, and I have access to a number of databases (including LexisNexis and Infotrac) through my school. If you ever need access to a news or journal article, I'm more than willing to help out.
To Do edit
Eventually I'll break these out into "daily," "weekly," etc. If you know of any projects that need more grunt work and general knowledge than wikipedia experience and poetic writing skills, leave a note.
- Check for new requests at Wikipedia:Newspapers and magazines request service
- Remember to remove name from list at Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange after graduation.
- Debate pages
- Policy debate needs cleanup and references.
- Rebuttal speech, Rebuttal, and Counterargument are all pretty dismal. They should be combined, cleaned up, referenced, and categorized.
- Category:Debating
- Chess pages
- Plenty to do at Wikipedia:WikiProject Chess
- Physics pages
- Other science pages
- Astronauts that deserve better biographies
- Gun control pages
- List of backlogs to deal with

I can't read in a straight line - I learn by doing and keep the user manual at arm's reach.
