Greetings, Wikipedians. I'm a twenty-four year old graduate student at Sarah Lawrence College. Since I'm studying writing you'd think I'd be trying to make some money at it, but instead I'm here, giving it away for free. My main interest on Wikipedia is sports, since I think there are an unusually high number of stubs worty of expansion, articles that don't exist but should, and larger articles in need of reorganization.

I have bit of a thing for lists. Some of my first articles are basically lists of winners of some lesser-known baseball awards. Lately I've begun rewriting biographies. In my opinion the biggest deficiency of Wikipedia right now is the readability of the articles. I think grammar and style are just as important as content. I believe in listing my references so that my articles are verifiable. I believe in improving old articles before beginning new ones.

If you're reading this it's either because you admire my command of the English language or you think I murdered one of your articles. Either way, leave me a note on my talk page. I'm just glad somebody noticed.

[edit] What I've Done

I'm also active on Wikipedia:Articles for Deletion and Wikipedia:Requests for Comment. When I need a mindless task I redirect links from disambiguation pages.
