I began editing and writing for Wikipedia in February 2020. I am a professional historian with much research experience with primary and secondary sources. I aim to produce and cite the most accurate information possible, although, like everyone else, I have been known to make the occasional mistake. I am eager to fix any such anomalies that may occur!

My primary interest is in the Ziegfeld Follies and early twentieth-century dance, music, and theater in general, primarily concerning women performers. I am helping to expand Wikipedia's coverage of that area to make more (and more accurate) information about that era of entertainment available to anyone interested. I also am known to enhance existing articles about various dance, music, and theatrical personalities and subjects.

To date, my area of focus is on the pre-1928 Ziegfeld Follies, both performers and related topics.

Tips of the Day

Same titles, different meanings

To distinguish between pages that would otherwise have the exact same title, disambiguation is needed. Unless one meaning clearly dominates, the article should be replaced with a disambiguation page, e.g. Pan, which links to the different meanings with a qualifier in parentheses, e.g. Pan (mythology) vs. Pan (moon), or using a more specific natural name, e.g. cooking pan. If there is one dominant meaning, (cat), add a link to a disambiguation page‍—‌cat (disambiguation)‍—‌or to the secondary meaning if there is only one, on top of the article.

Brilliant pictures

You probably know that Wikipedia's best articles become Featured Articles. But did you know that a similar process exists for images? Go to Featured Picture Candidates to help judge which images are both attractive and valuable to Wikipedia.

Of course, the best can be found on featured pictures. Many of these photos are taken by Wikipedians. If you are a photographer, you can add yourself to the list, or encourage others by nominating great photos you come across. Feel free to use featured pictures in your own works (according to the terms on the image description page).
