What article did you edit? I edited the brazilian portuguese article on Ferdinand de Saussure, which was lacking sources and in need of text repairs. I guess the addictiveness comes from feeling like you have something to contribute to this huge and important thing that is Wikipedia. "Wait, no one since 2009 could prove this? I can!"
I spent the afternoon today trying to understand the HTML gizmos and making minor edits in the article. Finally, I just decided to leave it for the day and try some other time.
