An overview
Hello, I'm Indy beetle. I've been editing Wikipedia with a registered account since January 2016. Early on, I focused on World War I and World War II related content, with an emphasis on naval engagements and/or smaller countries and lesser known theaters. I've since branched out in my work, editing a fair amount on Cold War Africa, especially the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Burundi, while also covering subjects of North Carolina (US) history.

I served as a coordinator for the WikiProject Military history from 2020 to 2023.
