From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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

[edit]
User scripts

Many different things on Wikipedia can be simplified, automated, or customized with user scripts. For example, you can create scripts to automate different vandalism warnings, perform an AfD nomination, or display the current time in a place of your choosing.

Many scripts have been written by Wikipedians, and are ready for you to make use of. To enable these pre-made scripts, simply paste them into your common.js file (a user's common.js is loaded regardless of which skin they are using). You may have to purge the page before the script will load for the first time.

To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{totd}}

Linking articles: the internal link

Internal links (AKA Wikilinks) are a great way to alert users to pertinent information. However, remember that excessive linking can detract from an article. Only create links that are relevant to the context of the article.

Internal links are created by placing double brackets around the word you wish to link, for example: [[Subject X]]. You can link to a specific section by adding the # sign and the name of the section after the article name. For example: [[Subject X#The beginning]].
