I'm a professional freelance editor, but have just recently begun working on Wikipedia. So I welcome any guidance!

My family and I have recently created a website about my father, Robert S. Mendelsohn. I may be considered to have a conflict of interest if I write about him, although certainly not a paid conflict of interest. I understand Wikipedia guidelines and am only interested in having accurate information appear.

I grew up in Chicago, lived in Toronto, Canada for many years, and now live in Jerusalem, Israel. I have worked as an editor on websites, including the website of the Israel Museum here in Jerusalem. I have also edited articles and books, usually in the area of Jewish studies.

I was a La Leche League leader for 15 years, quite a while ago, but still maintain an interest in breastfeeding, childbirth, and other medical issues.
