From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello there! I'm an Old Millennial woman (she/her/hers) living in the U.S. I have been editing Wikipedia since 2004, when I was introduced to the project by Timwi.

My username is meaningless; it goes back to a long-held policy of mine to use usernames that aren't easily Googled.

On a personal level, I'm a big fan of road trips, lurking around museums and libraries, non-fiction books, and watching way more sports than can be healthy.

Interests

[edit]

I have varied interests and don't tend to focus on specific topics, with a few exceptions:

I also try to do a lot of disambiguating, style clean-up, and categorizing. I am a fan of the Oxford comma.

I love using Citation Hunt to fulfill needed citations -- especially ones that can be answered with JSTOR or Newspapers.com, two of my favorite databases.

For your excellent work in cleaning up the Virginia Women's Institute for Leadership article. Good job! SchuminWeb (Talk) 22:52, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

This barnstar is to thank you for the article about Mount Saint Agnes College, where I taught for a few years in the 1960s. Later when I wondered what had become of that college, I searched in vain for any information. Today when I checked Wikipedia, I found all I needed to know! I gather you have done similar work for many other closed women's colleges. This is appreciated by far more people than you will ever know. MelanieN (talk) 16:53, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
