I write a lot about the history of Los Angeles, my hometown, and about Mexico City, also on Spanish Wikipedia. I used to write and edit a lot about Atlanta and its history... there's a lot 'under the hood' in that city. I also write about a few other random things... and a couple articles on Dutch wikipedia. Pictures I uploaded to Wikimedia Commons

Atlanta

[edit]
  • Atlanta (major additions, cleanup, and structuring) major achievements
    • moving away from text which appears to be a Chamber of Commerce-type brochure: replacing continuous lauding of virtues with neutral POV
    • identifying what makes the city unique and characteristic (e.g. city is a capital of hip hop) - not just "checking the boxes" on what would go into a traditional encyclopedia (e.g. fine art, ballet, opera)
    • ensuring sub-articles like History have good content and good summary sections at the top; transferring these summaries to the main Atlanta article, i.e. making the article/subarticle system work
