From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Welcome to my user page.
My (currently mostly on hold) project is to create and improve pages for authors of children's and YA books. Right now I am trying to eliminate red links on the list of young adult writers. Much of the information is readily available on the web, so if you're interested, help me! (This is, after all, Wikipedia, the greatest thing since <cliche warning> sliced bread.)
Recently I've taken up the never-ending task of recentchanges watching. Perhaps one day people will understand that there is no reason one must vandalize to feel important. But for now...
"Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That?s what we?re doing." -Jimbo Wales
Pages I've created: Tim Bowler, Eleanor Updale, Carolyn Reeder, Kim Antieau, Elaine M. Alphin, Ellen Wittlinger, Linda Crew, Gloria D. Miklowitz, Patricia McCormick, Sue Mayfield, Ellen Conford, Richard Zimler, Iain Lawrence, Sally Warner, Tammar Stein, Kristiana Gregory, Alyssa Brugman, Gloria Whelan, Judy Waite (finally), Tyros 2 (I did this one for my brother), Henye Meyer, Lois Ruby, Bette Greene, Gabrielle Zevin, Cut (novel), and Virginia Doyle.
Pages I've adopted, heavily contributed to, or rewritten: Kathryn Lasky, Abed Elrahim Abu Zakrra, Aviv Geffen, Harry Mazer, and perhaps you'll find some more.
Pages I want to create: Jeffrey Satinover, Catherine Stine, Valerie Zenatti, and more (I just don't know of them yet).
