I've made contributions to early jazz, New Orleans, MesoAmerican archaeology and other subjects (a good number while not logged in). I've been making good use of my knowledge of minutia of early 20th century culture.
I've been doing a fair amount on painters and art styles. I feel rather underqualified for some of this, but no one better seems be doing much on this at present. I'm just a guy who likes lookin' at the purty pictures. Still, I think I cobbled some decent entries. But I'll leave writing the needed article on abstract impressionism to someone else.
Articles I started &/or made significant contributions to include:
- Pedro de Alvarado
- Aztec
- P.G.T. Beauregard
- Sidney Bechet
- Al Capp
- Hernan Cortes
- Salvador Dalí
- Dixieland
- French Quarter
- History of Central America
- History of Guatemala
- William Hogarth
- Husastec
- Bill Johnson
- Krewe
- Papa Jack Laine
- Mayan civilization
- Mesoamerica
- Paul Morphy
- Alfons Mucha
- New Orleans
- Original Dixieland Jass Band
- Phonograph
- Phonograph cylinder
- Louis Prima
- Quetzal
- John Singer Sargent
- Scat singing
- Spanish Conquest of Yucatan
- Storyville
- George H Tichenor
- Kitagawa Utamaro
- Rudy Weidoeft
- Paul Whiteman
- A. Baldwin Wood
- Yucatan
I also was also responsible for adding candidates to U.S. presidential election (it previously gave the impression that there always have been and could only be two candidates per election), and contributed the Perceptions of Columbus section to the contentious Christopher Columbus page.
Yes, I know, my spelling sucks. (Believe it or not, its much improved from what it was a few years ago.)
