Hi! I am still new to Wikipedia editing and try to do my best. I have dabbled over time, doing poorly and doing well. I hope to spend more time with editing in the future and welcome all advice and feedback, as well as patience.
My interests are primarily tech, entrepreneurship and Chicago history (anything Chicago-related, really). Please feel free to leave a message on my talk page.
Articles I've created edit
Articles I've edited edit
- List of Chicago Landmarks (added 50+ missing landmarks)
- Printing House Row District (fixed incorrect information)
- East Garfield Park (added missing History and Demographics sections)
Current To-Do List edit
- Check that every Chicago landmark page references the Chicago landmarks category
- Check for missing fields (e.g. construction date) on Chicago landmarks directory page
- See if we can get pictures for the landmarks that don't have them
- Check that every Chicago landmark page denotes that it is a Chicago landmark in the article copy
- Check that every Chicago landmark includes the designation in its infobox
- Build out the Chicago landmark pages that don't exist. Also, find the stub pages and flesh them out.
- Fix links that are to the wrong pages, that need a building/site page:
- American School of Correspondence
- (Former) Anshe Sholom Synagogue Building
- Gwendolyn Brooks House
- Calumet Park Fieldhouse (?)
- Site of the Origin of the Chicago Fire of 1871
- Eighth Church of Christ, Scientist (!!!)
- Goldblatt Bros. Department Store (?)
- George Cleveland Hall Branch, Chicago Public Library
- Lorraine Hansberry House
- Site of the Haymarket Tragedy (?)
- Humboldt Park Boathouse Pavilion
- Humboldt Park Receptory Building and Stable
- Site of the Origins of the I&M Canal (?)
- Lion House
- Richard Nickel Studio (?)
- Paseo Boricua Gateway Flags (?)

- QA the Templates at /wiki/Category:Chicago_Landmark_templates
- /wiki/Template:Chicago_Landmarks
- /wiki/Template:Chicago_Landmark_houses
- Check if Chicago neighborhood and community area pages list in-boundary Chicago landmarks; make sure list is complete and up to date
- Clean up the Chicago Project 21 page; consider doing pages for all Chicago municipal plans and creating a category page for them.
- Improve the Chicago community area pages and neighborhood pages. Build spreadsheet of page+sections to see which pages are missing which sections.
- Start an update process similar to steps above for Chicago landmarks but for NRHP and NHL Chicago sites.
