I am a 23 year old Process/Chemical Engineer and, as of yet, have just about zero edits, seeing as I only just registered. Adacore (talk) 19:12, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Observing the above, I really do look pretty sad, signing up to wikipedia at 7pm on New Years Eve. I went out after, honest!
Anyway, I've decided that since I don't think I'd be particularly good at creating new content, I'll try to become more active in copyediting existing articles and contributing to processes such as WP:FAC and Today's featured article requests. In retrospect, perhaps starting off by attacking featured article candidates isn't the best move, since they tend to be long, but I'm not going to back out now. And it's a great opportunity to learn a lot about a variety of subjects while helping develop Wikipedia.
Well, isn't that just typical. Exactly a month after I join the League of Copyeditors, the project dies and is marked inactive. Ah well - on to the Chemical and Bio Engineering project, maybe they need some copyediting doing...
New copyediting project joined.
