My specialty is wikifying and copyediting smaller articles to remove glaring errors. When I do add major facts, I tend to heavily add references to ensure their verifiability. I prefer to write articles instead of discussing rules, but feel free to chat with me within reason, especially if I mess something up.

These days, I often look over featured article candidates. These articles, if featured, serve as precedents for related articles under development and become the most visible pages on Wikipedia. I usually check for consistent date formatting—problems there often portend issues such as inconsistent cite style or incorrect grammar. I will oppose an article that continues to have those issues throughout, because prose must be clear before it can engage.

I registered a second account, AnAltName, in case I need security on public computers. Please post on this account's talk page if there are related problems; use the prefix "AnAltName: " in the heading of new topics for those.

Registered Wikipedia users can try my Monobook or Vector style sheets. (Place either one under User:Yourname/yourstylepreference.css)

Picture of the day

Shirley Graham Du Bois (November 11, 1896 – March 27, 1977) was an American-Ghanaian writer, playwright, composer, and activist for African-American causes. Born in Indianapolis to an Episcopal minister, she moved with her family throughout the United States as a child. After marrying her first husband, she moved to Paris to study music at the Sorbonne. After her divorce and return to the United States, Graham Du Bois took positions at Howard University and Morgan College before completing her BA and master's at Oberlin College in Ohio. Her first major work was the opera Tom-Tom, which premiered in Cleveland in 1932. She married W. E. B. Du Bois in 1951, and the couple later lived in Ghana, Tanzania and China. She won several prizes, including an Anisfield-Wolf Book Award for her 1949 biography of Benjamin Banneker. This photograph of Graham Du Bois was taken by Carl Van Vechten in 1946.Photograph credit: Carl Van Vechten; restored by Adam Cuerden
