So apparently, glancing at VO forums misc. syns section... Which I had never looked at... I erm... Have more wikipedi pages to make.

Oh crap! Will the quest to have every syn added to wikipedia never end? I stopped making pges until Chipspeech appeared within my scope yesturday (thanks Gakubutt!). nd now I realise I've been not paying attention.

Oh crap! T_T

Well I know now what I will be spending my holiday doing. I spoke with a neighbour today for the first time about wiki editing. She asked me to describe it. In a nutshell, I said "it was the most thankless job". I didn't mean it in a bad way, its just for some companies, wikipedia/wiki often contribute a % to the success of many products these days and are often among the first search engine searches. Yet despite being a big factor, you rarely get anyone acknowledge your work. So I was noting to her how expectations of getting something out of it are more about self satisfaction that you "did your part", rather then seeking a long-term award.

I also said, there are many days where I prefer doing this to playing a game. I mean, if I'm going to do something thats not going to move my life forward, as bizarre as it sounds I'd rather do this then run in, guns blazing in COD or something. Its almost like hobby thts become an addiction to me, I've been doing this for over a decade now (I started in what... 2003/2004 at wikipedia with the One Piece pages). I often said this was my last wiki and after Vocaloid I'd retire. But... Here I am, talking about adding more synth pages to a wiki that from 2004 until 2010 I'd boycotted. :-/

So what has everyone else felt about their status as a wiki-editor?
