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.

Articles I have created

• Gladys Feldman
• Hilda Ferguson
• Emma Haig
• Vera K. Maxwell
• Norma Taylor
• The Belle of New York (1919 film)

How to send a message to other editors

Communication between editors takes place at Talk pages.

To send a message to another editor:

1. Go to their user Talk page (e.g. User talk:xxxxx)
2. Click the "Add topic" button at the top and, when the editing window opens, you can type your message and a subject heading to your post.
3. At the end of your message, include your signature with ~+~+~+~ (~~~~ four tilde characters).

Note that user talk pages are publicly viewable, so it is not a private message to the user concerned. Even when deleted, the message is forever viewable in their History.

Editor replies: Unless the other user includes a link to your user page in their reply (called a Ping), you will not get a notification that they have responded, so it is a good idea to either check their talk page every now and then, or add it to your Watch list.

Image processing tools For images, there are free tools like GIMP and ImageMagick, and commercial ones like Adobe Photoshop that provide a variety of processing filters. The preferred formats are Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) for drawings, and Portable Network Graphics (PNG) for pictures. You may also use JPEG. Vector graphics are preferred to raster graphics for drawings, because they can be scaled as needed without losing information, and because they can be more easily edited. Please remember to follow our guidelines and policies when uploading images.
