Despite the name, I'm more focused on the history, culture, and geography of the Great Plains, specifically Nebraska. I mostly edit with visual editor for text edits, but I'm getting better with source editing for templates and formatting. My apologies if I've messed up the editing on articles, but if you let me know, I'm happy to fix them! I'm a college student due to graduate in spring of 2019, so I might be slow to reply or act.

Wide-scale projects and topics
edit- Adding infobox templates to all settlements in Category:Nebraska geography stubs
- I realized after I'd gotten through A-F that I added incomplete code for all of these settlement stubs. I was only inserting the relevant criteria which was already present in the articles and didn't include the code for information that wasn't but might be added in the future. My apologies! I'll try to go back through and fix those, but it might take a while.
- NRHP listings
- I'm specifically interested in National Register of Historic Places listings in Lancaster County, Nebraska. I've been working my way through that list to make some of those red links blue, (James A. Beattie House, Park Hill (Lincoln, Nebraska), Burckhardt House), and make some of the existing articles better (Terminal Building (Lincoln, Nebraska), Nebraska Governor's Mansion).
- I'm not an architect nor am I fluent in architectural terms, so I tend to focus on NRHP listings that are significant because of their history rather than their architecture.
- Nebraska folklore
- Recently got interested into the folktales of my home state and found some great sources at my local library, (Louise Pound's Nebraska Folklore ISBN: 0803287887, The WPA Federal Writers' Project's Nebraska Folklore pamphlets, Roger Welsch's A Treasury of Nebraska Pioneer Folklore ISBN: 9780803201927, etc.), and plan on using these to create and improve articles on the subject.
- Because many of my sources are hard copy books which are not available online, my work on this topic will be limited to the availability of these books at the library and my availability to go read them.
- I've created Category:Nebraska folklore and check up on it with some frequency. To my knowledge, it's categorized and formatted the same way that the other Category:Folklore of the United States by state subcategories are. If I've made a misstep here, please let me know.
