Welcome to my userpage.
I started learning computer programming in the early 80s (anyone remember BASIC?), got my first email account in 1989, and created my first webpage in 1993-- but didn't create an account on Wikipedia until 2012. Guess I'm late to the game.
As a teacher, I find that students use Wikipedia more and more in their research (even though we ask them to use primary and secondary peer-reviewed sources). I figure I should at least be involved in making sure the information they gather is accurate and properly cited.
I am currently involved in the Wikipedia:WikiProject Psychology/APS-Wikipedia Initiative. This involves assigning students psychology-related Wikipedia articles that need updating and/or proper citation.
