editDay 1, March 12, 2013:
editI stumbled upon this tiny little blue link on the top of a Wikipedia page and guess what, you can open an account on "the one and the only Wikipedia"! As cool as it was, the minute I got in, it was like a maze with never ending links and pages and God-knows-what. But it's nice. I read through the Wikipedia page about itself and learnt some dirty facts about it. And I made some edits!! On Wikipedia!! How cool is that... And they say that there are about 100,000 users like me but no one appears to be online... The only welcome I got was a message that said I was blocked. This page signifies that Gerda Arendt is a life saver. Although this is no way close to a real Wikipedia article, 10 years down the line, I would like to remember all those who helped me initially to get started. So now to get serious and stop goofing around!!! That's it for today...
Day 8, March 19, 2013:
editOne week on, it's unbelievable!!! It's just too tough to explain! Special Mentions include: Gareth Griffth Jones (GG-J), Gerda Arendt, Ched, Gtwfan52, Buster7, Theopolsime, Dainomite, Crisco 1492, Amadscientist... Guys who may not consider me to be anything more than a mere nuisance, but they're the only family I got here!! And they rock!! I'm pleased to say that I'm not leaving and Wikipedia will be my future Online Home! I can tell you that within these many days I've grown and will continue to grow! It's a superb feeling! I've also got these Shining Stars to my name!! I also reached my 100th edit on the 18th of March and that also means a lot, because its a small step towards the bigger total!!
A barnstar for you!

Congrats... You asked an awesome question in the Teahouse!
editKeep up the great work. One of the saddest things for me about having to leave for a few months is that I am not going to be able to follow and help with your progress. You are definitely on the right track!

Awarded to those who have asked a great question on the Teahouse Question Forum. There are no stupid questions, but some are excellent! Good questions are those that reflect serious curiosity about editing and help others learn. |
