I have been editing on Wikipedia since July of 2021. Not as a user at first. I created the CostalCal User on June 10, 2023. Since then, I have made around 1,000 edits and 23 articles. That does not sound like much. But I care about the effort I put into making Wikipedia a better place. Wikipedia will never be perfect. However, I will try to make it as close to perfection as possible.
I am a middle schooler who does Wikipedia for fun. And I've tried to keep my Wikipedian life private. Although I have told my secrets to a few who ask me. I am a participant in Wikipedia:WikiProject Wildfire.
I don't quite know 100% when I started becoming interested in wildfires. Hell, my first edit on Wikipedia was on the Oakland firestorm of 1991. I know that as a toddler, I was obsessed with firefighters. Probably due to me living very close to a fire station. Around 2021 or something, I became invested in wildfires after starting a habit of editing weather-related articles.
I like editing wildfire articles the most. Just because I want to expand the limited coverage of wildfire-related pages on Wikipedia. And I have crossed paths with many terrifying wildfires in my life in Yosemite, Oregon, and in my city.
