I had no prior interest in [[Sigurd Syr]] before contributing to the article on him.

Heh. One of my favourite articles I've mostly written is [[Gifford Pinchot]]. Not that it's a fantastic article. But someone (I forget who) on IRC said "hey, this needs working on. There's some reference links on the talk page. Go for it." So I spent half an hour using the reference links to write the article. Without having bothered to do that, I'd never have known that the term "conservation" as applied to forests and so forth was invented by a Republican.
