About Me

Hello!

I began editing Wikipedia in earnest late 2020. I also own the username Spacecat77 created in 2007, but I cannot access it so I created a new account. I am interested in helping to remedy the various imbalances of representation on Wikipedia, including the problem that, "on English Wikipedia, fewer than 18 percent of biographies are about women."^[1] Some specific areas of focus include cartoonists, literature, the arts, and librarianship.

Articles I have worked on

I created the following articles: Ben Passmore, Crystal Kewe, and Traci Chee

Pages I contributed to in 2020:

Carlisle Indian Industrial School - Added Media mention

Bonnie Cashin - Added link to large (free) digital repository

Victorian Literature - Added multiple citations where needed, and reworked intro paragraph to better reflect significance of the topic
