Well, all the stuff below is still true, but most recently I've been getting my admin sea legs. As a result my major mainspace edits have plummeted, annoyingly. But it's been satisfying to have the tools, particularly when it comes to vicious attack pages & accounts. That said, if I've done something you disagree with, just drop me a note. I'm pretty reasonable. I do have a really low tolerance for homophobia and racism of any kind though.

I'm a 34 year old female museum professional and grad student.

Lately my wikipedia interests include clearing up red links, trying to create more articles about women in science and recent changes patrol using the amazing tool Vandalproof. I also try to edit articles on subjects that I know something about, primarily theater and museums.

I try very hard not to make mistakes when I revert vandalism, but I still mess up sometimes, so please tell me on my talk page if you think I've made a bad call or a mistake. I need to know when and how I screw up, so I can avoid it in the future.

Links for myself[edit]

To do list (for myself)[edit]

Photos to take (for myself, but please feel free to add requested images of the Boston area)[edit]

Disambiguation[edit]

Projects I've worked on

Articles I've started[edit]

Articles I've done a lot of work on[edit]

Articles I've helped save from deletion[edit]

I believe that if an article can be saved by an editor volunteering to do the work to appease other editors (ie. make it comply with WP:BIO, WP:V, clean it up, wikify it and/or do some merging) then it's in the best interest of Wikipedia to save it. I sometimes use the Afd as a place to find articles I should be working on. I intend to keep adding to this list and thank and award others who do the same.
