Hi. I'm Karen Funk Blocher. After watching Wikipedia from the sidelines for a year or so, I finally registered in April 2006 to take responsibility for a few edits to the Madeleine L'Engle entry. I doubted that I'd be a major contributor, but appreciated the opportunity to correct errors and fill in a few holes. Ha! 22 months later I've just passed the 5000 edit mark, and some individual edits took hours to write. I should have known that I'd be obsessive about it. My watchlist currently stands at 400 articles.
My interests include fantasy, science fiction, television and Tucson. I've primarily been writing about contributions to popular culture, circa 1955 to 1990, that Wikipedia has neglected and I know something about. I'm also reverting vandalism, trying to conform to citation and style standards for fictional subjects, and learning to do the preferred reference format correctly. I'm getting better, but I know I need to double back and fix up a number of articles with inline citations. Care to help? Please? I'm finding out that I can't spend hours every night on Wikipedia without pushing my sleep deprivation issue into the red zone. If you take a look at my edit count,[1] you'll see that it started going down on a monthly basis in the new year. Then it went up again. Blame Doctor Who. (Fortunately, I'm able to cut back now that we're in the break between series.) Oh, and I'm trying to deal with "fair use" crises as they come up on my watchlist. If I added a fair use rationale to your image and you don't think it's good enough, feel free to fix it!
