Auric The Rad Got hooked during school project, found out that it was still running two years later. Signed up when I found out how to edit. Now a confirmed WikiJunkie.
Meelar I found it after a google search for "campaign finance reform" revealed that the article could be improved—I saw "edit this page", and did
Merovingian – At first an extemely wiki-amateur IP, I discovered I could edit and it was like I had rediscovered how to live.
Mirv—Reader since February 2003, I made a few minor anonymous edits here and there; my first article edit with this account was to
Battle of Adrianople.
RogueScholar - October 13; came here to create a couple pages about my alma mater's football team and got sidetracked by Portuguese martial arts in the process, the quintessential Wikipedia experience (my first edit)
Jeff8765 – Came here after reading an article about it in
Wired
DopefishJustin – found this while researching a school report on the
Meiji Restoration, couldn't resist fixing spelling mistakes, came back later to add more stuff I know about :)
Dmn / Դմն At about this date, I created a page on self referential humour and redirected it to itself
MattSal – Discovered while researching
skycrapers, and saw that a list of skyscrapers in
U.S. was lacking.
Kizor – Found the place via the cast page of
It's Walky! or something. Would've no doubt found out soon anyway, the place was and still is getting famous fast.
Halda – After browsing around several articles (my interests are quite eclectic) I became a
Wikipedian on 30 October in order to alleviate the crushing boredom of a crappy job.
Nurg – edited as anon from 6 October and created an account at the end of the month
September 2003
Chris Jefferies – I started editing Wikipedia on 4th, as soon as I found it. The article on my home town (
St Neots,
England) seemed a bit lacking so I began adding to it. One thing led to another (mostly the links :-) so they had to be added or fixed. It's brilliant – I love it!
Gjking – I've been using it for a couple of months now... what a fantastic resource. So I decided to try to start contributing, assuming grad school leaves me some free time.
jni – I created this account in late September 2003, after being an anonymous contributor for a short period of time. I was mostly on WikiVacation until August 2004, though.

Tedius Zanarukando – I have begun to edit in Wikipedia on September 1, 2003, when Wikipedia happened to appear on my Yahoo! search engine. I added an article on Nintendo's Fire Emblem series, being my second Wikipedia article. My first Wikipedia article is on
enhanced remakes, for I am a fan of realism.
Pingveno – found Wikipedia while looking through some bookmarks that came with
Mandrake Linux. I started contributing, editing, and using Wikipedia, as well as the other parts of Wikimedia. I use it primarily for homework, that wonderful thing that plagues students of all ages.
Lumos3 – My son asked me to help him find more information on the English Civil War. So I used Google and of all the pages returned was impressed with how extensive the material on Wikipedia was. I soon became hooked.
Sarge Baldy – Someone linked to a Wikipedia article on IRC. I didn't think much of it until I saw the edit button. It was all downhill from there :)

User:Wetman – My name is Wetman and I'm a
Wikipediholic... I arrived 19:44, 4 Sep 2003 with an edit at
Aquarium. Then I realized Wikipedia was the place to unload sections from an essay of mine on
Orion (mythology). Then I was hooked...

Talk – I'd done quite a bit of editing as an anon for a few months beforehand. Then I registered and promptly forgot about it, so I didn't begin editing with this account full-time until March or April 2004. Between then and September, when I did edit, I did so anonymously.
User:Adam Carr: I became annoyed at the poor quality of history articles in general and Australian history articles in particular. 16,000 edits later I am still here.
Thoth--Ah, what the internet was meant for! A free communication and archival of knowledge, instead of a bloated pornography dispenser (not that there's anything wrong with that). Anyway, I found it enjoyable occaisionally making a real article and maintaining or reworking the various articles that aren't quite done. I try to put in stub work wherever it's needed when I'm short on time.
Ark30inf – came and looked for some Arkansas information and didn't find much. So I decided to add some. While doing some of this noticed that some Civil War stuff needs work. While doing this noticed that.......oh well looks like I will be here awhile.
Noel – even this close to the event, it took me a while to remember what brought me here (it was the Wired story, but I don't recall how I ran across *that*) – I seem to have been totally sucked into the WikiVerse; definitely love at first sight
Securiger Started anonymously in August, got an account to uplaod pics in November, can't remember what brought me here but it was something about crypto. Already been through phases
absolutely hooked ->
disillusioned -> just doing what i can to help.
Darc Marjal – Started with
Manchester International Airport after a trip there and immediately got hooked. What better place to put down all that (otherwise) useless trivia in my brain?
VeryVerily (
VV for short) – Had bumped into Wikipedia a few times while
websurfing, decided at this point to get involved.
Grendelkhan – Edited my town's info page first. Moved onto the
LCC pages shortly thereafter.
Chris Rodgers. Learned of through a friend, became both intrigued and impressed with the resource, have tried to contribute some fair share in return.
Jay – I came to Wikipedia through Google looking for
film reviews. My first impression of it was that of a
buggy website where you click a
red link and it opens a large empty box !
Rednblu My first edit, a creation of a new page, lasted thirteen minutes
[1] :)) But I saw that the subsequent edit process preserved the gist of what I had added.
MarkusRTK – though after five edits, I forgot about Wikipedia for a year and a half!
Rotem Dan – Had some anonymous contributions at the end of march, discovered wikipedia much earlier (but didn't understand
what is a wiki back then)
Cimon Avaro on a pogo stick – April 14, anonymously on the 13th. (Had been reading earlier, and maybe done a newbie test or a few before as well, honestly don't remember.) First page knowingly read:
Rhazes
Francs2000 though I didn't sign up for the username till September, being the suspicious goit that I am... The first page I saw was for my distant cousin
Hugh Paddick.
Kwekubo – AKA Gabriel Beecham on other language version.
