I am a New Orleanian who started contributing to Wikipedia in September of 2002.
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 (I'm just a guy who likes lookin' at the purty pictures), but hope what I've done will be a usefull start to later Wikipedians. I think I cobbled some decent entries on, for example, Alfons Mucha and Salvador Dali.

I 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. I've helped improve the Louis Armstrong page (which still needs more work). I've scanned and uploaded some 19th century and early 20th century images from my collection to illustrate such articles as Emilio Aguinaldo, John James Audubon, Clara Barton, Enrico Caruso, Georges Clemenceau, Stephen Crane, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Giuseppe Garibaldi, Giza, David Lloyd George, London Bridge, Louisiana Purchase Exposition, Francisco I. Madero, John Stuart Mill, Original Dixieland Jass Band, Palace of Westminster, Anna Pavlova, Pedro II of Brazil, Maximilien Robespierre, Victor Emmanuel II of Italy, Woodrow Wilson, World Columbian Exposition, Emiliano Zapata, and others, and also have uploaded a few photos I've taken myself.
Yes, I know, my spelling sucks. Sorry. (Believe it or not, its much improved from what it was a few years ago.)
