Hi Mikemoral, thanks for answering some of my questions. You're a long-time editor who recently returned from a period of inactivity. Tell us some more about yourself.
I started as an editor on English Wikipedia where I then started contributing to Simple (and soon afterward Wikinews). I sadly moved away from Wikimedia for about four months. I then started back contributing to Wikipedia and Wikinews and finally Simple.
What inspired you to contribute to Wikimedia and the Simple English Wikipedia?
Originally I contributed because of the many typos I saw on en.wp. I then moved into anti-vandalism and I've done lots of that. I originally contributed to Simple to write an article, Elizabeth Hay, Countess of Erroll that I saved from deletion on en.wp. And of course improving this project!
What have been your most successful efforts so far?
On Simple, I transwiki'd a few articles. I formed the typo team so that typos can be removed, though it died away, slightly. I've done a small amount of DYK and some anti-vandalism. This is a really tough question, because some people might think my other contributions are more remarkable than these.
As a more occasional editor nowadays, how do you think the project can improve?
A way to improve Simple, is maybe to work on recruiting members so have a larger userbase to have maintain and improve Simple.
What are some good things about Simple?
Some of the good things about simple are it has a moderately large group of editors always willing to improve this project and it is a great wiki for ESL readers and children with a smaller vocabulary.
