I have been editing various Wiki articles since 2009 (not counting Talk pages). Most are minor edits: I primarily fix typos I see upon reading articles. I also sometimes fix what I consider to be poor wording. I consider myself to be an intermediate level editor, so have not to date authored any articles, nor done anything 'major'. I did catch & reverse at least one instance of vandalism.
