Interests

 * Weird menace horror and detective pulp fiction from Popular Publications, specifically collection Robbins brothers stories (Wayne Robbins, Ormond Robbins).

Stuff I did to Wikipedia lately

 * Added verifiable content to an erroneous redirect for Wayne Robbins.
 * Created a new page for Ormond Robbins.
 * Added redirects for Wayne Robbins: W. Wayne Robbins, Wyndham Brooks.
 * Added redirects for Ormond Robbins: Dane Gregory, Breck Tarrant.

Current Research

 * Contacted owner of: http://www.ourtimeonline.com/newsletter/ot_nov01.htm To check any leads or bio input for Ormond Robbins. Pulsadinura (talk) 10:35, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Requested publication 50 Years of FAA History for independent verification of Ormond Robbins FAA service from FAA historian. Pulsadinura (talk) 10:35, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
 * http://www.ourtimeonline.com/FAA-50%20Years.htm
 * Very helpful response from FAA. Pulsadinura (talk) 23:15, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
 * 50 Years of FAA History is available online here: http://www.faa.gov/about/history/historical_perspective/.
 * Ormond Robbins mentioned in Brian Fortier's 2004 book Cheechako on Wings (http://www.amazon.com/Cheechako-Wings-Brian-Fortier/dp/1412017270). I will buy this. The salient part seems to be in Google Books, however.
 * The story behind Ormond Robbins' position as mayor of Kenai described in Redoubt Reporter (The Job No One Seemed to Want, http://redoubtreporter.wordpress.com/2009/05/06/1-in-a-million-shot-%E2%80%94-persistent-pacific-passenger-sews-up-free-ticket-stock/).
 * Trying to determine if Ormond Robbins went to UW or if that is erroneous.
 * Interpolating information from Wayne Robbins autobiographical article from DMM 2/40. Also locating "autobio" of Wyndham Brooks, in which he created a fanciful backstory for his pseudonym.

Stuff I might like to do later

 * Flesh out Sheldon Jaffery page.
 * Perhaps help out with Salem Witch trials. I have all surviving documentary evidence in Rosenthal's Records of the Salem Witch Hunt, plus quite a few historical treatments.
 * Look at Popular Publications' titles. Seems to be spotty coverage.
