[DannyIsOnFire]

Actually, I used to be an editor at Wikipedia up until 4 years ago. I started making edits to Wikipedia some time before high school. Eventually, I made an account there so that I could have even more privileges, such as editing locked articles.

Then I just stopped caring about editing very soon afterwards.

[chiefindomer]

I've never done it, helpfully or maliciously. I've never actually read an article on there that I had some worthwhile information to add to, probably because I don't browse wikipedia a whole lot.

[Wagggs]

I correct spelling and grammar errors.

[Wolfos]

I want to, but they think my name is too similar to that of Wolf05. Well, in that case Wikipedia can eat shit.

Which me that i just went to Wikipedia for 30 days on my Membership.

Really i did if i really did that for editing Wikipedia.

[Wolfos]

Even though their C/C++ precompiler constants page contains a whole lot of mistakes.
There is no such thing as __MACOSX__ damn you! The Linux and Windows ones were wrong too.

[All-American-Badass]

I've done it a few times if i see erroneous information.

[Gimmick]

Sometimes, if there's something that's left out in WP that I know, then I usually add to it. I later either a) get thanked or b) nothing happens; content stays there. It's a step up from when I edited it maliciously only to see it disappear before my eyes in a split second.

[Suprememessage]

I do, as I have seen many things being left out of Wikipedia articles.

I never did this, actually. But I heard that the german Wikipedia is in need of authors, so I might do it in the future.

[Bryan]

No, but I have tried to add a page on myself before.

[saqwert]

Nope. Everything I look up is already there so I don't feel the need to do anything.

Yeah, no need to add any stupid nonsense to mess up all the good information.

I also don't really find any false information on Wikipedia despite what they tell you in school..

[i-am-ghey]

i have edited a passage on wikipedia once (english), and obviously my corrections to the article were accepted by most because no one has ever undone or made changes to my revisions.

not going to tell you which article i have edited though.

[JMCJoe]

No but Weird Al does.

[TechnoHound]

I sometimes edit some crap in that I know about the subject.

[SansNumbers]

No, because wikipedia is an evil website full of the wrongest information available and if I were to ever set my eyes on an article I would get cancer and HIV at the same time, then I would burst into flames.

[MrPlinkett]

I one time edited the wiki saying this, "Black holes are the anal of the universe. The stars are the penis, inserting it into the hole."

[i-am-ghey]

you don't need to have an account to edit stuff, if the article is not locked.

though i highly doubt many people here edit articles that are academic in nature, like the zor... forget it. most articles i have seen that are related to my field are complete.

[Morph94]

I do, but onlee wehn I see grammer erroars.
