In searching for directions to my local railway station a few years ago, I
noticed the corresponding Wikipedia article was terribly lacking in
information. I expanded as best I could, and got involved from there. I knew
bits and pieces about the project, having browsed in the past and edited
occasionally as an IP to fix spelling and other minor errors, but I suppose
that was my first major editing experience with Wikipedia.

The project hasn't changed terribly much since the day I first edited, now
that I think about it.
