Hello there. My name is Jennifer. I mainly edit pages relating to Medal of Honor recipients and Haiti. I have no particular expertise on either subject, but I have a vague interest in military history and Wikipedia's coverage of Haitian topics is sorely lacking. My goal is to one day get an article to featured status. I also mess around with disambiguation pages and categorization quite a bit, because order makes me happy.
