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.

Please proofread the daily tip... It's displayed below one day early. Some tips are obsolete. So we need new tips too. Please share your best tips and tip ideas at the Tip of the day department. edit Tomorrow's tip of the day... Difference between WikiProjects and portals? What is the difference between WikiProjects and portals? WikiProjects are groups of editors who team up to collaborate on developing and maintaining articles or other features or aspects of Wikipedia. There is a Portals WikiProject, for example. WikiProjects are linked to from article talk pages with WikiProject banners like {{WikiProject Politics}} for example, but not from within articles. Portals are mainly for readers, providing an alternative doorway into a subject, and can be linked to from articles using the {{Portal}} template in an article's See also section. There may or may not be a WikiProject and a portal on the same subject. By the way...the WikiProject Portals is currently redesigning and revamping the entire portals system, and could use all the help it can get. New participants are welcome.
