My Wikipedia journey
[edit]Hello, anyone who might for whatever reason land on this page, I'm CelticBrain.
I first joined Wikipedia in 2015, when I was a teenager. I mainly edited pages on TV shows I liked (Still Game, Burnistoun, etc—I was going through a major Scottish comedy phase at the time). These first edits were horrendous, as it seems that I thought of Wikipedia as being more like TVTropes than a fact-based site. For obvious reasons, many of them have now been changed.
Eventually I began to work on more scholarly articles. Most of my edits nowadays are on pages that have to do with my main interests (linguistics and history). My particular focus is on Old English and the early Anglo-Saxon period, specifically the "migration era." I'm especially fascinated by the use of ancient DNA to track historically-attested invasions & migrations.
That said, I haven't completely stopped working on pages related to TV shows I enjoy—my favorite one is the French Netflix series Lupin.
