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.

Tips of the Day

Tip of the day...

Please return the favor

When you make use of Wikipedia's desks (Help desk, Village pump, and the Reference desk), please consider putting some time in as a volunteer by reading and answering some questions at whichever desk you think you will be the most helpful. Remember: the Help desk always needs help, and questions asked at the Reference desk span the breadth of all human knowledge. You're likely to know the answer to some of the questions.
