Active on English Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons; occasional user of other Wikimedia projects (Wikidata, Meta, etc.). Leave a message or feel free to email.

Wikipedian for quite a while now. Mainly as a researcher for the first few years. Then I started teaching with Wikipedia and finally jumped into [very] active editing in 2013. I tend to edit in a wide variety of topic areas. In fact, as I think about it, it's hard to point to topic area concentrations.

In addition to the

s linked at the top of the page, here are some fun ones

guerilla gardening group who threw "seed grenades" into empty lots on the Lower East Side

site of a chocolate flood

site of a wine flood

first human cannonball

fictional order or mammals with diversely functional noses

largest ship graveyard in Rhode Island

mandarin duck who became a minor celebrity in Central Park

"the bug lady" of the American Museum of Natural History, also known for origami

the most trafficked animal in the world

first woman engineer at NASA

variant of chess where the pieces "explode"

myth of foreign ships being invisible to natives

little drawings of flies or bees in urinals

NYC's only wildlife hospital

art video game about marriage

when crime and corruption caused a third of the population or Rhode Island to lose access to their bank accounts

event space that almost burned down due to an eel in a fire hose, and later made "all your dreams come true" before it was demolished

one of the most successful jingle music groups in mid-20th century Chicago

devices used by people living in areas of conflict or under oppressive regimes to create pirate radio stations

social movement archive

compilation of psychedelic Cambodian rock music from just before the Khmer Rouge

former squat called the Batcave

cybernetic meadows...

landfill that a lot of people in Rhode Island think is the tallest point in the state (it's not though)

oldest nut company in the US, makers of ubiquitous displays of blue-packaged nuts/fruit

someone who led bird walks in Central Park for 40 years

how listening to music via headphones gives you a greater sense of control over your environment

one of the earliest sorta-kinda encyclopedias

beloved public bathroom

online black market

destroying ivory as an elephant conservation approach

journalistic technique for handling misinformation

dog memorialized in Green-Wood Cemetery

I tend to edit in waves, focusing on adding content for a while, then going into maintenance mode for a while. If you don't see me around here, there's a good chance I'm active over on Commons, or out in the world trying to take pictures for Commons.

I'm involved with WikiNYC and engage in a variety of Wikipedia-related activities both online and offline. Leave me a message if you want to talk about Wikipedia research, Wikipedia in education, or New York-area events/partnerships.
