Knowledge is an important thing to people, and adding to it is a great task to accomplish.
Also it may help a person who needs certain information.
Wikipedia is a free source of knowledge and deserves to be as good a possible; I hope to make it better.
To contribute to the comunity
Wikipedia is a community effort, that needs everyones collaboration to succeed.
Also, it is more than just text; it is the effort of people from every part of the world.
Many people believe that Wikipedia is "no good", and I'll try to change their minds by writing higher quality articles.
and to learn in the process
As I progress and grow I will aquire more knowledge naturally.
And Perhapse, I will learn more about myself along the way.

Golding Bird (9 December 1814 – 27 October 1854) was a medical doctor who researched the chemistry of urine and kidney stones. From 1836, he lectured at Guy's Hospital and published Elements of Natural Philosophy, a textbook on science for medical students. Bird was innovative in the medical use of electricity, designing his own equipment and bringing medical electrotherapy into the mainstream. He invented a variant of the Daniell cell in 1837, making key discoveries in electrometallurgy. Bird also designed a flexible stethoscope, and in 1840 published the first description of one. In 1842, he was the first to describe oxaluria, a condition which leads to the formation of a particular kind of stone, and published a comprehensive paper on urinary deposits in 1844. A devout Christian, Bird believed that Bible study and prayer were just as important to medical students as their studies. He founded the Christian Medical Association, although it did not become active until after his death. (Full article...)
