Librarian by trade. My main focus has been on improving the organization and participation in the WikiProject Visual arts and the Portal:Visual arts. Right now, it's all about getting the Portal:Visual arts to featured portal status. Also working on the LIS portal.

I have particular interest in Tuscan painters and do some maintenance work on dab pages.

Pages I regularly monitor to minimize links to dab pages

 * 1) Wild card (links)
 * 2) New Wave (links)
 * 3) Sprint (links)
 * 4) Western (links)
 * 5) Series (links)
 * 6) Catalog (links)
 * 7) Saint Paul (links)

I also like to keep Category:Art clear of entries.

Things I've Added to Wikipedia
I've only created four entries:


 * New Wave (design)
 * Giovanni da Milano
 * Vincent Award
 * American Libraries

I've also created some templates:

and a few associated categories:


 * Category:Articles that need an artist infobox
 * Category:WikiProject Visual arts participants
 * Category:WikiProject Visual arts articles
 * Category:WikiProject Visual arts categories

I also set up the assessment categories for the WikiProject Visual arts.

Ideas and to do list

 * Develop template to invite people to WP:WPVA
 * Identify common format for artist articles
 * Set up Template:Artist in the vein of Template:Biography and make it subst'able
 * Articles to work on:
 * Taddeo Gaddi
 * Rosso Fiorentino
 * Giovanni da Milano
