Molly-in-md

Molly-in-md is the pseudonym of a long-time Wikipedia user and, since 2006, an occasional editor. She says:

If I see an error in a page, I will fix it. The most common fixes are grammatical and punctuation errors. They drive me crazy.
What are my qualifications? I am technical writer and editor in my paying (part-time) job and I'm good at spotting errors. It's a chicken-and-egg thing: am I an editor because I have a good eye, or do I have a good eye because I'm an editor? Doesn't really matter. Wikipedia benefits.

Just for fun, here's a list of her edits.

If you have spare time, consider helping to clean up Wikipedia:

• list of articles that need copy editing, by alpha order at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAT:COPYEDIT or by date at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_articles_needing_copy_edit
• list of articles that are orphaned (without being referenced in any other articles), at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Orphaned_articles
• citations that need to be conformed to WP:CT so they don't succumb to link rot, listed at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Articles_with_bare_URLs_for_citations
• citations that need formatting, at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Articles_needing_footnote_reformatting
