I began editing and writing for Wikipedia in January 2014. As the titles below indicate, my primary interest is in Old-time radio. I am helping to expand Wikipedia's coverage of that genre in order to make more information about that era of entertainment available to the general public. I also spend much of my Wikipedia time on enhancing existing articles about radio, film, and television personalities of the past, particularly finding citations for under-cited articles.

My collection of links to Online Resources for Old-Time Radio Research is available for anyone who would like to use it.

I have created the following articles.

Tips of the Day

Guestbooks

Wikipedia Guestbooks, according to Wikipedia founder Jimbo Wales, "can help build a spirit of friendliness and co-operation, and help people get to know each other as human beings". All Wikipedia users are welcome to create a guestbook and give permission to other users to sign it. However, creating a guestbook is also a privilege; many users have been blocked just due to begging for someone to sign their guestbook.

Guestbook cautions

  • Do not beg others to sign your guestbook. Users eventually will come to see your user page, and many will click your guestbook and sign it without being asked.
  • Never ask a user to sign your guestbook by posting that message on a talk page.
  • Be patient. Users will eventually come. After all, you should not be here only to see who signed your guestbook...
  • You are here to build an encyclopedia: Do not spend your WikiTime only signing guestbooks. It may be fun, but users may see you as a person not here to contribute.
  • Guestbooks are not a soapbox.

How to use Wikipedia Offline: XOWA

There is a way to have Wikipedia loaded on your computer so that you can view it when you don't have access to the Internet. It's called XOWA, and it's compatible with Microsoft Windows, OSX, Linux and Android.

XOWA allows users to download and import their own copy of Wikipedia using official database dumps, or by special hosted database files specifically created for use within XOWA. The application is designed to accurately display Wikipedia content through its own built-in browser, or by an internal hosted web server which allows users to access content using a browser of their own choice.

XOWA can load and display multiple wikis. It is not limited to just Wikipedia.

For instructions on how to download and install it, see the official XOWA webpage.
