I joined Wikipedia on March 18, 2010 as a volunteer due to some article errors that nagged me in subject areas of personal interest that kept popping up on related searches. As of October 2014, I am spending more time editing at Wikibooks. My editing efforts are sporadic and as spirit moves me.
Sometimes I enjoy fulfilling citation needed requests, provided it is a subject area of personal interest. I find searching for information and finding experts' answers as a reasonably fun activity, and sharing those answers with others quite human. I am deeply intrigued by conflicting information, as well as dots that aren't yet logically connected.
It seems a truism that in any journey toward perfection, the visible path shrinks toward a dot on the far horizon, and presumably continues far past any point which is seen or conceived.
