Wikipedia-related

1. How did you first hear of Wikipedia, and why did you decide to become a Wikipedia editor?
A: A friend of mine recommended me to check out Wikipedia. I took his offer on it and found that Wikipedia was indeed a very reliable source. I've thanked my friend for actually mentioning the site to me. I decided to become an editor, as to the reference fact that a Wikipedia articles were always inserted with the wrong information and I had a tendency to join.
2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
A: That would be articles relating to professional wrestling. As I am a fan of the sport. Currently, I am working on WrestleMania 21, as to the expansions of PPVs.
3. What is the origin(s) of your username?
A: The name isn't really what you would call "famous". I thought about it, and suddenly "Zenlax" hit me. But, I'll say this, the Z would perfectly work for my name Zach, the rest is made up.
4. What other project(s) do you participate in on Wikipedia besides WP:PW?
A: That would be
WP:Films based on books
.
5. What do you like most about Wikipedia? What do you like least about Wikipedia?
A: What I like most is that Wikipedia has an article on anything. Just search what your looking for and the results are there. What I least like about Wikipedia would have to be that an individual would have the guts to vandalize all the hard work brought on by other Wikipedians.
