About

Freelance journalist. Writer, aspiring novelist.

Here, on wikipedia, you will find me writing mostly history related articles. Usually American, usually minor history, or at least that which not as well known. Journalists interest me, war correspondents especially, so I have written a lot on that topic. The stuff I write and research for the broader category of American History usually involves the lesser known minor history surrounding the founding of mid-sized American cities. And then there are ghost towns and Registered Historic Places.

I am a fairly active contributer to Did You Know? on the Main Page as well as Good Article Candidates, which I started recently because I saw a lot of old GAs that did not meet the criteria and thought they degraded the hard work of dedicated Wikipedians. I also participate in AfD discussions when the occassion comes along that I nominate something for deletion, which is rare.

Journeys

No. Not the plural of the crappy band.

I stole this idea from Katr67.
