I came across Wikipedia when I was asked to prepare a project, during my school days. I found enough information on Wikipedia regarding the topic that was sought.
Later, I got to know that Wikipedia is an open source platform where anyone can join and edit. So, I joined Wikipedia in mid-2016 to gain some insight into how it actually works. But, a few months after I joined my first account got banned due to various reasons.
However, I was interested in contributing to Wikipedia. So, I joined Wikipedia again after completing my study, this time I was very cautious. But, I had no idea about how to publish an article. Before writing and publishing my first article I took help from various experienced Wikipedians at Help Desk/Teahouse. And finally, my first article published in April, 2023.
