Things I am proud of
Featured and/or good articles that I have substantially contributed to.

The articles I edit
The articles I edit don't necessarily reflect my broader interests. I edit mostly in actor biographies, but rarely in film articles, even though I love films. I very rarely edit articles for television programs, musicians, singers, bands, albums or singles, but I love a lot of them too. I'm interested in the volcanic eruption that destroyed Pompeii, the sinking of the Titanic, World War II and the Holocaust, numerous countries, cities and towns, writers such as Agatha Christie, crimes such as those of Jack the Ripper and The Manson Family, and the In Cold Blood murder of the Clutter family, but I rarely edit the articles that relate to them.

I started the article Edith Thompson and Frederick Bywaters, and articles on a few high profile Australian crimes : Beaumont children disappearance, because it frightened me as a child, Colin Campbell Ross, a man pardoned 80 years after his execution and Jean Lee, the last woman hanged in Australia. I did not start the article on The Gatton murders, but it's something of a "local" story for me, and I have contributed to it.

My most frequently edited articles can be found here. Considering that I spend most of my time on the biographies of actors, it's a little odd that the two articles I have edited most do not fall under that categor
