WikiProject Latin music experience
When I first came to Wikipedia around 2004 or 2005, I mostly edited video game-related articles and occasionally did work on Latin music. Despite my efforts, I felt I didn't contribute well enough to video game-related articles. One day, I was looking at the Did You Know? section and noticed someone made an article to a Latin song that I recognized. His username is Jaespinoza and when I saw his contributions on his user page, it influenced me to heavily contribute to Latin music-related articles. After getting my first Good Article in 2010 for a Latin album, I realized how underrepresented Latin music was in Wikipedia which compelled me to start a WikiProject for editors who might be interested in Latin music. We initially began as a music task force for Latin America, but have since become our own WikiProject to cover Latin music as a genre rather than simply music from Latin America. Before becoming its own WikiProject in 2012, things started out very slow (which was to be expected given how Latin music is usually performed in Spanish and Portuguese) and there was only three GAs and 1 FA at the beginning. But I persisted and it paid off. Once it became its own WikiProject, that's when it started picking up activity. Within that year, we managed to get over 100 GAs and nearly over 40 FLs related to Latin music as well as the first ever featured article about a Latin album. The biggest accomplishment to me is not simply the number of content that has been contributed but how many editors from around the world that joined the project. We have active members from Mexico, South America, the United States, and Europe as well. Given how expansive the Latin universe is, I have been interested in meeting members from other countries. That was one of my personal wishes when I created the project. In addition, I'm always happy to help out new editors especially if English is not their first language. I have assisted with members of other WikiProjects to articles that overlap with Latin music. Today, I have contact with several of these members outside of Wikipedia where we discuss our interest in Latin music which I believe would not have been possible without the creation of the Latin music project. To me, the project is not only about contributing articles related to Latin music, but also getting to know other people and helping each other out. Erick (talk) 12:26, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you, Magiciandude! Great to hear that you have built an expansive community around Latin music, dedicated to improving content. Harej (talk) 03:45, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

I started using Wikipedia because I found the informations on it straight and forward. I have joined Wikipedia on many occasions only to get blocked for socket puppetry. I am a better Wikipedian now after reading in details about copyright and editing issues.
I am a member of the WikiProject Nigeria. OluwaCurtis The King : talk to me 12:10, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
