Hey there, I'm a history graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania, where I study modern European history. I arise out of the lovely Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC. From May 15 to November 15, 2006, I'm living in Paris, where I'm doing research for my dissertation.

My interests are mostly in European history, although I've occasionally contributed to pop culture and literature pages. My dissertation project concerns European foreign relations in the mid-nineteenth century, so you might find me adding to articles on that period. I'd also welcome any questions about that stuff, since that's an area that I should actually theoretically have expertise in, but I write and edit articles about stuff much beyond that, and probably haven't done as much as I could on those areas, and I also like lists. Why? God only knows, they're horrible, but yet, I am compelled, alas...

[edit] Contacting me

If you'd like to contact me, please leave a note on my talk page. I list my e-mail address for Wikipedia e-mail purposes, but I've become convinced that openness is the key here - if you have something to say to me, say it to me on my talk page. Anything you have to say to me about Wikipedia should be available to all Wikipedia users. Please only send me a Wikipedia e-mail if I invite you to do so.

[edit] Other Wikipedia accounts

I have an account on the French Wikipedia, but I rarely use it.

[edit] Elephant

a picture of an elephant In Sri Lanka, found in wikipedia's Elephant (wikipedia article) article

I award myself this Barnstar for my tireless and heroic, but ultimately unsuccessful, efforts to save the Elephant (wikipedia article) article, the greatest article ever created on Wikipedia.
