Welcome to my user page! I consult Wikipedia often and began this account to help fix random little things found while reading articles. Since then I've focused more on writing and expanding articles.

Contributions

[edit ]

My contributions include:

Creating articles, mostly about local landmarks, historic events, and obscure yet notable people - often as a result of redlinks leading somewhere interesting.
Improving articles for style. I strive not change author intent unless an article lacks refs or NPOV.
Organizing disambiguation and redirect pages.
Reviewing new pages and DYK nominations
Translating articles mostly from the German Wiki, sometimes Dutch and Russian.
