I feel pride in wiki edits.

Do you guys ever feel a great sense of pride when you edit a wiki for a game you really care about that's been neglected? I know I do, especially when you can't even find information for it on the internet and you have to investigate it yourself and produce original information. Just a great feeling.

Rocked that Island Wars 2 page! Although, I do feel great shame in a vast majority of my work now. Comma splices, like there's no tomorrow.

Yes, but only if I, you know, do it.

The only video game that I anticipated hard enough and know enough about was Battlefield 3, which is the only wiki I have an actual contribution to. 
 
It took me 10 months of reading tweets and forum threads and watching interviews and downloading scans to know what I know about the game and consequently be able to contribute to the wiki, so I have NO IDEA how others can contribute to multiple wikis.. Do these mad wiki editors spend their days and nights gathering info for so many games like I did for BF3? That can't be.

If it's a minor edit, I'm happy to help make the wiki more accurate/complete. But it feels awesome when I add a giant load of content to drop a giant bomb on a page.

I loved the feeling of adding massive chunks of info to the wiki, it was very satisfying.

@AhmadMetallic:

That's pretty much how I'm handling the Tear Ring Saga wiki. I'm basically playing through the game and transcribing the script into a series of events. I'd devote an entire section to the weird names the translators are giving some characters, but I'm not sure that has a place on Giant Bomb.

yep! although i've only really edited DOA pages because no one else will.

How? How do you feel pride in the fact that you are an expert on "Suck My Dick or Die!"?

I do when I feel I deserve it, like if I add a new game to the database.

I apparently wrote the one shitty paragraph on the Fatal Labyrinth page. I have no memory of writing any of that and I don't think your character actually has a name, so I think my profile was hacked by aliens at one point.

Yep.

I even know that at least one of the people I wrote a wiki entry about was very well aware of it. A strange feeling - especially as I inadvertantly unnerved him.

Editing the wiki is fun!

I've never edited anything, mostly because my writing is horrible!

I am the only person who cares about the Banjo-Kazooie wiki, JINJONATOR!

Yeah I just love how I personally created contributed so much to the most extensive wiki entry about wishbone's amazing odyssey that I can find on the internet. :D

Not really....the only page I'm proud of is the Super Metroid page.

I was planning on working on the Banjo-Kazooie wiki but got side-tracked.

I did a bunch of stuff to the creatures page's but they still kinda suck

I made 2 edits in the floppy disk save icons page. so yeah i feel a general sense of pride

Pride is a sin.
