Barnstars!
I've made a page for them.

'''NEW! I'm uploading pictures I took in Montreal. You can see them at User:AnnaKucsma/Pictures/Montreal. Take a look!'''

I am a Wikipedia user with an interest in various areas of history and biography. Other interests and hobbies include knitting, quilting, art history, and music. For the sake of maintaining my sanity, I make a point of listening to Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! on my local NPR station, WNYC.

Feel free to look at my list of (external) links. At present it's very short, but I guarantee it will eventually be a little more noteworthy.

Other versions of myself include identities on: Wikisource (s:User:AnnaKucsma), Wikiquote (q:User:AnnaKucsma), Wiktionary (wikt:User:AnnaKucsma), and Wikibooks (b:User:AnnaKucsma).

WikiProjects
I'm a member of the following WikiProjects:
 * WikiProject Biography
 * WikiProject Books, though my participation will probably be intermittent at best
 * WikiProject King Arthur
 * WikiProject Middle Ages
 * WikiProject New York City
 * WikiProject Textile Arts

Articles I'm Working On
For space purposes, I've moved the list of aticles I started in its entirty to User:AnnaKucsma/I Started. The "I Started" page also has categories and redirects that I've added.

However, just because I know enough about something to start an article doesn't mean I know everything about it. The following is a list of articles where I ran into problems (usually minor ones). So far these problems are on album pages where track listings are either suspect or missing.


 * Celebrate Brooklyn is a festival in (of course) Brooklyn. All I really know about it is that it's been an annual event for as long as I can remember, and that the Natalie MacMaster concert I saw in June 2006 was a part of said festival.
 * Crossing Brooklyn Ferry is the only other item up here that is not an album, so it goes up here. I have very little info about it; a Google search returned very little but the text.


 * At Home, 1998 Cherish the Ladies album  → The titles of tracks 1,3 and 8, are incomplete
 * The Back Door, 1992 Cherish the Ladies album  → The title of track 14 is incomplete
 * The Hour Before Dawn, 2000 Solas album  → The title of track 12 is incomplete
 * Leaving Friday Harbor, 1999 Battlefield Band album  → The last third of the track listings were incomplete on AllMusic; I left the section blank
 * On Christmas Night, 2004 Cherish the Ladies album  → The titles of tracks 4, 10, and possibly 8, are incomplete
 * One and All: The Best of Cherish the Ladies, 1998 Cherish the Ladies album  → The titles of tracks 2, 7, and 15 are incomplete
 * Out and About, 1993 Cherish the Ladies album  → The titles of tracks 5 and 12 are incomplete
 * Rain, Hail or Shine, 1998 Battlefield Band album  → The titles of tracks 5 and 9 are incomplete
 * Quiet Days, 1992 Battlefield Band album  → The titles of tracks 1, 4 and 8 are incomplete
 * Venus in Tweeds, 1995 Shooglenifty album  → The title of track 2 is incomplete
 * The Words That Remain, 1998 Solas album  → The titles of tracks 3 and 11 are incomplete



Oh, and I've uploaded pictures, too. They're at User:AnnaKucsma/Pictures. Take a look!

Interests, Hobbies, and Everything Else
Though I am interested in many areas of history, particularly American history, medieval Europe, and Tudor and Elizabethan England.

I am a quilter, and have more recently become an avid knitter. I also don't mind visiting museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art — of which I am a member — and its strictly-medieval branch, The Cloisters. I also sometimes do a little photography on the side. Take a look at what I've uploaded!

Speaking of running around with a camera, I don't like taking a vacation where I don't go somewhere interesting. I've been to London and Nova Scotia twice apiece (and Boston, too, if you count spot-checking the Wellesley campus in high school). Recently, I spent a week in Montreal, and have two rolls of photos, some of which I've uploaded. (Getting the idea yet?) You might also want to take a look at my page on Wikitravel and my page on Commons. Neither of them have a whole lot, and both will tell you to come right back here for the long version.

I've had one of my photos included on Schmap's latest New York edition. You can see it here. Despite being a travel site, I'm actually from New York City, which is how I ended up with a photoset dedicated to The Cloisters included in a collection of photos taken in the five boroughs.

See the next section for my taste in books, music and movies.

My Favorites & Things I Recommend
Moved to /Favorites. Needed to shorten the page.

Loose Ends
Visit my list of links for external links of various kinds.

There's also my kitchen sink and my kitchen sink, volume 2. The first is a large quantity of links to Wikipedia pages (don't worry, it's illustrated). The second is the same idea, but for categories and lists (not illustrated, but much more thouroughly sorted).

I also keep a list of important dates -- well, important to me, anyway. The page is just a bit of historical stuff that has a date assigned to it, and pertains to people I find interesting.

I do have a sandbox, but it really isn't all that interesting. But I won't invite myself over to yours or anything, since your sandbox is probably no more interesting than mine.
