From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sometimes I originate articles; these are indicated in black. Sometimes I'll start a stub or do a re-write and the experts will come along and turn it into a real article; those are in green. Major rewrites I've done are in blue; purple is where I've translated something from some odd, non-English language like 1911-ese.

I seem to have an affinity for biographies.

Sometimes I fancy myself a photographer. Here are some thumbnails (a bandwidth-intensive page).

(And I like to Photoshop "substandard" PD images to make them "suitable" to this worthy Wikipedia endeavor. *grin*)

I also do numerous copyedits, image uploads, copyedits, substantial factual additions, copyedits, trivia, and copyedits. (Did I mention copyedits?)
