I am a resident of Edmonton, Alberta, who started editing Wikipedia in August 2003. Prior to that, I had heard rumblings and rumours of the project, but had never bothered to check it out, thinking the concept of anybody being able to edit pages would doom the project to never getting off the ground. However, when I finally looked at Wikipedia, I was quite impressed and became an instant believer.

I'm a persnickety editor who believes in getting commas, capitals, spelling, diacritical marks, and especially apostrophes exactly right, and a lot of my Wikipedia work is in this area.
