Greetings, I'm Rider4151 and I'm interested in improving the content of articles in the area of finance, financial history, publishing, music, theater, and New York City history, among other topics. I believe Wikipedia is an extraordinary resource for the exchange and preservation of information. As a seasoned editor and writer, I concentrate on adding new, verified content and making existing content readable and accurate.

I am currently concentrating on the history of financial publishing and just created my first Wikipedia page, on Anthony Stumpf, a prominent financial publisher of the 1800s. It's gratifying to dig up information and images that are in danger of being lost to history and finding a way to preserve them. I am particularly interested in the Wildcat banking era and the formation of the first nationally regulated banks during and after the Civil War.

I was recently asked if I am a paid editor. I am not. I have a strong interest in the Washington theater community and have also edited a friend's Wikipedia page.
