About me:
I'm female, born in 1955, and live in the U.S.
I have a degree in English and History from Duke University.
Among other things, I have been a professional editor for over 17 years, in New York City (1985–1992) and in San Francisco (1992–2001). Editing in all fields: journalism, nonfiction, textbooks, medical, legal, fact-checking, copyediting, proofreading, etc.
I started editing Misplaced Pages in mid 2006, and created an account in early 2007.
Invaluable resources for researchers:
On those sites you can find any book, and at the very cheapest prices.

Tip of the day...
Since anyone can edit almost any Misplaced Pages article, it is possible for biased, out of date, or incorrect information to be added to Misplaced Pages. To improve Misplaced Pages's reliability, fix these problems by doing the following:
- As often as you can, monitor and check changes made to articles. Your Watchlist, and the Related changes and Recent changes features are useful for this.
- Clean up vandalism and report vandals to Administrator intervention against vandalism (WP:AIV). Many vandalism clean-up tools are available to assist you.
- Fix mistakes:
- Fix typos, and grammatical and spelling errors. Join the Typo Team and learn their methods.
- Fix factual errors. You could also join the Fact and Reference Check Project.
- Fix bias. See Misplaced Pages:Systemic bias.
- For dubious statements that are not sourced or are likely to be challenged, hunt for references that are reliable, relevant, accurate, objective, and timely. Add citations for these to the article.
- Read the references provided by articles and check them for reliability, relevance, accuracy, objectivity, and timeliness. That is, read the source material cited, and remove irrelevant or unreliable citations.
