My approach to Wikipedia is pretty simple: if I happen to look something up and see a page that could use improving—which happens frequently—I edit it. I have a long history in English, with a BA in English with Writing Emphasis, and I was also a proofreader at one point in my life, so this is fun for me. I gravitate toward music and film pages, but sometimes I find myself editing a page on a subject that I have little to no interest in.
I don't tend to add content, unless I have something important to add and a good source to back it up. As such, most of my contributions here are of the clean-up variety: grammar, spelling, punctuation, organization, rewriting for clarity. If I find a page with errors on it, I consider it my duty to fix it. I also like taking what's already there and trying to improve it, such as placing complicated album track listings into tables for a better read. Lately, I've been enjoying adding personnel listings to album pages. I'm also working on creating a long overdue page for a ridiculous cult horror film.
I've been editing here off and on for many years now, with increasing frequency, and I find it's a continual learning process. I'm not perfect, but the more I edit, the better I get, and I am driven by the desire to at least leave every page in better condition than I found it.
