I'm a student of Australian environmental history mostly making straightforward improvements to pages relating to various topics of interest.

I have an interest in the natural history and geography of Northern Australia as well as topics relating to ecology, ornithology, paleoecology, political history and musicology.

If you would like to discuss any of my edits or contributions with me and would like a response please reach out to me directly on my talk page.

  Martha Argerich, Argentine pianist, at Pier 86 (NYC), after having arrived on the liner Constitution. Born June 5, 1941, her aversion to the press and publicity has resulted in her remaining out of the limelight for most of her career. She has given relatively few interviews. As a result, she may not be as well known as other pianists of similar caliber. Despite this, she is widely recognized as one of the great piano virtuosos of our time (Image and Text: Dick DeMarsico, World Telegram staff photographer).

Article Contributions

Article creation efforts:

• Sam Dansie Australian Forester and Conservation figure (page created 2021)

• Dansiea elliptica Northern Australian rainforest plant. (Page created 2021)

• Dansiea grandiflora Northern Australian rainforest plant.(page created 2021)

• Cryptocarya mackinnoniana Northern Australian rainforest plant.(page created 2021)

• My first attempt at page creation was for conservation figure J.P. Stanton in 2020. Undertaken as an Environmental History and Wikipedia neophyte, the contribution was unsuccessful (the bulk of the material was lifted from an international promotional publication for conservation professionals). The subject eventually received a thorough article contribution from another editor.
