I had found Wikipedia in several searches for various topics of interest without ever really knowing what it was.  One day I noticed the "edit this page" tab and thought for sure that I had some how found a hacked site that was giving everyone access to edit the site.  That's when I did a little more looking and discovered the wiki concept.

{{Random page in category|Vertebrates by classification}}
===Areas I like to work on:===
* Science updates - adding the latest science findings
* Protected areas - National, state and local parks, monuments, etc.
* Historical sites, especially National Register of Historic Places.
* United States Federal Government institutions ([[NOAA]], [[NASA]], etc.)
* Recent changes patrol

===Currently working on===
* Adding descriptions to Wikidata entries.
