One day, I discovered a minor typo in an article that I was reading, and I couldn't let it slide. On that day, I became a Wikipedia editor. For a while, that was all I did -- removing one byte here, adding another there. Now, however, I'm slowly turning into the kind of person who leafs through Norwegian newspaper archives to find references for articles that I have no personal interest in. I don't know what is happening to me.
To err is human, and so am I. I make honest mistakes in my quest for Wikipedia's perfection. I am happy to be contradicted and scrutinized, and I hope that other editors feel the same way. Let us put the encyclopedic project before our own egos.
