Hello there, I've been editing for over a year now and have now started to take an intrest in articles for deletion debates. I also believe that all schools are notable, to the dislike of a couple of people (just ask TJ Spyke).
I remember in 2001 (before the dinosaurs in internet time) when I first saw Wikipedia. I was looking up 'seagulls' but found no article. I think I may have searched a few other things as well but found Wikipedia to be useless, so I then avoided Wikipedia for over three years. When I came back, I realised I could actually edit the page and realised that Wikipedia was now a very popular choice to people wanting to learn a couple of things. Now I edit on an almost daily basis and my goal is to become an admin.
