I live in the UK and am a prolific user of Wikipedia, which I find a fantastic resource. Occasionally I have found gaps or areas of improvement in individual pages and have made amendments which have stood the test of time.
I am interested in authoring new articles and making more significant edits within my areas of knowledge and competence.
Areas of interest
edit
- Studied History in college, with a focus largely on early medieval Europe and the European colonization of the Americas.
- Women's History
- 19th and early 20th century biography
I believe in putting primary sources at the centre of historical research where possible.
Wikipedia contributions and areas I'm considering working on
edit
Completed new pages
edit
- New page on Lady Violet 'Letty' Benson, prompted when I came across her gravestone recently and realised she is named on a variety of wikipedia pages but not linked.
- New page on Emma Dent, prompted by coming across memorial plaques to her and realising there was a considerable story of her life to tell.
