I am Tom Kiehne, currently residing in Seattle, USA. Related to one other Tom Kiehne, but not all of them.

Editing focus for Wikipedia

New! - Apparently I am now in charge of updating Wikipedia:WikiProject Industrial. Any and all help that I can get is appreciated.
During the 1990s I was a music producer and DJ in various underground electronic genres. I intend to help increase the signal of entities (bands, labels, publications, etc.) that I encountered during the pre and early days of the Web that are not well captured currently. My specialty is 1980s-2000s EBM and Industrial music and culture.

This is currently the major thrust of my effort on Wikipedia at the moment. It is clear that there were a lot of articles in the genres I follow that were created in the 00's (2010 ± 5 years) and were not of high quality. Many of these have since been erased or are under the burden of potential removal due to the poor quality and lack of attention. This does not mean the content shouldn't be there or is not notable enough, only that it has not yet had the attention it deserves. In that, I fall into the "eventualist" camp and I'm doing as much as I can in my spare time to rectify the situation.

I also have some first hand experiences with events in the 90s and 00s in places like Boulder, CO and Austin, TX that I might be able to dredge up some primary sources for.
I'm good at lists, metadata, and making connections.
