Who the heck do I think I am?
edit
(Note: This user page is under construction, so it'll look particularly shabby for a while until I gain more experience in editing user pages.)
Daniel913, obviously.
But anyway, I've always looked through Wikipedia whenever I was bored.
I noticed that a lot of the articles I looked at had citations missing and things like that, but I didn't really pay attention to them.
However, on April 3, 2010, when I went onto an article for the manga Psychic Academy, I noticed the page had been vandalized.
For some reason, I felt that I should delete the vandalism, so I made an account and edited the article.
Since then, I've been editing articles in minor ways like grammar, deleting vandalism, and other pursuits.
I've been slowly coercing myself into making larger edits involving more effort, such as translating.
What do I do?
edit
Well, I primarily disambiguate internal links, add citations, and delete unverified claims/vandalism if I can find it.
Also, I used to add the Acclaimedmusic.net charts for "Best albums of (insert year here)" and "Best songs of (insert year here)", but if I'm not mistaken, they've all been added for the 90s (the decade in which I specialize in, music edits wise), and I may add the charts for the rest of the 80s.
Articles of choice
edit
I usually edit music-related articles such as "(insert year) in music" and articles for random singles or albums that I happen to stumble upon.
These articles are usually riddled with things to edit, so I never really run out of articles as I just have to find them.
Another series of articles that have lots of room for improvement are articles for individual days.
I go on these regularly, anyway, so it isn't taking too much out of my time.
If you can't tell by now, I'm not that heavily involved in Wikipedia.
For the moment, I'll be patrolling the recent changes and making my regular edits, but probably not much more than that.
Jeremiah Gurney (1812–1895) was an American
daguerreotype photographer. Initially working in the jewelry trade in
Saratoga, New York, he took up photography after learning of daguerreotype from
Samuel Morse, moving to New York City where he began selling photographs alongside jewelry. He was one of the earliest photographers in the city, and may have been the owner of the first photographic gallery in the United States. Gurney took this self-portrait photograph around 1869; it is now in the collection of the
Minneapolis Institute of Art.
