User:Iower

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.

Backlog (mostly tweaks and cleanup)
