I, under advice from my lawyers, have no comment to make at this time.

Yes, and I'm an admin. Began editing in 2003, since before most of you whippersnappers were born.

I've edited some Virginia elections pages, but that's really it.

When I see something REALLY inaccurate, or when updating anything local to me, yes. (that reminds me, I must get a new picture of my city's skyline to replace the one that someone put up that is from 2006!)

Yes. I created an account in 2009 and made around 25,000 edits since then and wrote over 200 articles (in German). I started with skycrapers and architecture but switched my focus entirely to American politics since around 2011. Some of my articles were awarded as featured article (like Lyndon Johnson's and "Governor of California") and presented at the frontpage as Article of the Day.

Was a regular editor circa 2008, not so much these days.

Not regularly, but if I see something I think should be changed I'll do it.  I was once involved in an edit war over whether or not Allan Lichtman successfully predicted the 2016 election (spoiler alert: he did not).

Done one or two edits but not often. I do use Wikipedia sandbox a lot to make infoboxes though.

Damn, I only got a few times on "did you know" column (Polish wiki).

I've edited MANY articles in order to provide election results in most Missouri counties. A few times I've also added some info to articles about certain Supreme Court decisions.

I used to. I even reached admin status on the English Wiktionary. But these days the most I'll do is correct a typo or revert vandalism on an article I'm reading, without bothering to log in. I just don't have time to be active and it's gotten far too bureaucratic for my taste.

No, someone who disagrees with my edit and who has a lot more time on his or her hands than I do would just change it back.

Same, so I remade it for another thing I wanted to make in it and kept on trucking.

Yup. Under the same user name, in fact.

More than once I've seen posts on this forum that relied on things that I wrote
