About
{{letterhead start}}
I mostly edit articles having to do with either music album/single sales and chart performance.
Specifically, I'm among the top contributors at sales lists such as the List of best-selling singles, the List of best-selling albums, the List of best-selling albums in South Korea, and the List of best-selling singles in the United States.
I used to be a very prolific editor – in 2012 I made [http://toolserver.org/~tparis/pcount/index.php?name=Mauri96&lang=en&wiki=wikipedia over 3200 edits] including 510 in March alone. Nowadays I make a few dozen edits per month, if any, and less than 500 per year.

Why I'm A User
To quote Cprice1000 --"I often see incorrect/out of date material and really want to do something about instead of poke and yell at other Wikipedians to do it for me. So I made an account and became a Wikipedian who is --mostly-- open to be poked and yelled at."
Literally speaking, I actually created my Wikipedia account to [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:List_of_best-selling_music_artists&diff=prev&oldid=330801424 ask] that Prince be added to the aforementioned best-selling artists list.
As an editor for over 10 years, I am well aware of WP:POV, WP:OR, WP:VER (and corollary WP:RS).
