Wikipedia and me
My work at present consists mainly of minor edits and corrections e.g. creating more links to other articles and correcting spelling and grammatical errors; therefore I see myself as a
WikiGnome. I'm not an admin and I have no interest in being one. I believe that redirection is preferable to deletion. When creating new links, I try to use the given name of the article I am linking to as it looks neater. For example, if writing about the
Soviet Union, any links would be written as
Soviet Union as opposed to
USSR, which automatically redirects to the
Soviet Union article.
I have significantly contributed to the following articles:
-
Yun Hyon-seok (made some corrections to the grammatical structure of the article but more work needed)
