User:Unknowncity

UnknownCity is the handle of Steve Shanafelt, a writer and editor based in Asheville, North Carolina. I first learned about Wikipedia in 2003, using it largely as a down-and-dirty research tool in my work as a journalist. I created my first (now defunct) user account in 2004 as an extension of my work as a regional news reporter, creating entries and adding needed details and editing to articles as I could. In late 2006, having somehow lost my old user login, I created this user account. Most of the edits I make are minor, and serve largely to correct inaccuracies, add context, or replace out-of-date information in entries discovered during writing research.
