I started out correcting spelling mistakes, and for a while found myself fixing and cleaning a ton of disambiguation pages. I also add to articles when I notice that information is missing, and sometimes this mushrooms into major copyediting.
- Misspellings can be fun and helpful
Sometimes careless fingers can provide new, useful words. Here are some actual misspellings I have found and fixed, along with my proposed definitions:
- Pyramoid
- (adjective): shaped more or less like a pyramid
- Fundametal
- (noun): a metallic element from the bottom row of the periodic table
- Succumbled
- (verb, past tense): lost its determination and broke into small pieces at the same time
- Startling facts I have learned while working in Wikipedia
- "Hamilton's miniatures are generally of small size ..."
- Places in the US with names that don't make it easy to guess which US state they are in

| Sweet Home, Arkansas (also Kentucky, Oregon and Texas). You were thinking Alabama, perhaps?
