Hi, I'm AtticusX.

Most of my edits are copyedits (cleaning up typos and grammatical mistakes and so on), but sometimes I'll find reliable sources on a topic I'm keen on and I'll spend a while converting those sources into new Wikipedia content.

My interests are varied and include: themed entertainment, classical and world music, circus and other performing arts, and geographical locations.

One of my pet peeves is advertising or brand promotion.

I think Wikipedia's pretty nifty as a means of sharing knowledge and promoting self-directed learning.
