From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am interested in helping the wikipedia project by bringing scientific, logical, balanced approaches to complicated issues. I specialize professionally in blood disorders and blood clotting. I've edited numerous articles on those topics as well as unnecessary health care and stewardship efforts.

I am pleased to see an increase in women editing wikipedia. The Women in Red project is a wonderful initiative and I'm grateful to be a part of it. I've created articles on Artis Henderson, Laura Vanderkam, Marisa Meltzer, Dina Strachan, D'yan Forest, Jean Ensminger, Marion Reid, Irene Roberts, Rayne Rouce, Ellinor Peerschke, Anna Akbari, and The Mental Load: A Feminist Comic. I'd like to thank Asilvering, PamD, TSventon, Innisfree987, Ipigott, DaniloDaysOfOurLives, and GRuban for their help.

I created this article: Ask Me Again. If you can find any information on Robert Bruce, who starred in the film episode, I'd be delighted.

Personally, I'm a special needs mom, I like reading and puzzles, and I would like to do standup comedy someday or write jokes professionally in some capacity. Feel free to leave me a joke on my Talk page if you want to trade laughs.

Some of my fun edits were:

  • Awkwafina's stage name refers to her self-perception as ‘awkwardly fine’.[1]
  • Sheila Nevins commented that she was never mentored, but rather de-mentored; fortunately, “revenge is the best mentor”.[2]
  • Maroon 5 lost the UCLA Spring Sing, while UCLA students, to Sara Bareilles.[3]
  • Dame Maggie Smith denied that she was ever a 'dish', despite what a 1960s theater reviewer wrote, and explained that character actors can keep developing their craft without concern over losing their beauty.[4]
  • Opera singer, breakdancer and model Jakub Josef Orlinski joked about a fan’s notebook cover which read “Sorry I wasn’t listening, I was thinking about Jakub Josef Orlinski".[5]
  • "Welcome to Holland", an essay about special needs parenting, doesn't mention that in Amsterdam, even the tourists say there are too many tourists (please see the accompanying graphic[6] on the referenced NPR page.[7]
  • During a two-month road trip, a seasonal L.L. Bean employee driving the Bootmobile met up with the "world's largest roller skate", another novelty vehicle, for a photo. A real shoe of comparable proportions would be a size 708.[8]
  • Nora Ephron joked about getting her hair blown dry at a salon twice a week because "it's cheaper by far than psychoanalysis, and much more uplifting".[9]
  • Asked to explain his Nobel-winning work in simpler terms, Geoffrey Hinton quipped that Richard Feynman reportedly said: "Listen, buddy, if I could explain it in a couple of minutes, it wouldn’t be worth the Nobel Prize."[10]
  • Dolly (sheep)'s legacy was described in an article called "The science of the lambs".[11] Other headlines were, about her cloning: "Just like ewe" and her obituary: "Goodbye, Dolly".
  • In his UCSF commencement speech which echoed the "Wear sunscreen" address, Zdoggmd instructed newly minted physicians to "wear shoe covers" because the hospital is "a dangerous place for expensive shoes".[12]
  • Should you need to cool off during contentious discussions, as per Wikipedia:Time to take the dog for a walk, be sure to avoid cats[13] to preserve Wikipedia:Assume good faith.[14] (I love cats. I'm just allergic).

I created articles about Michael Beckerman (musicologist), who noted that the tune that most excites students in grade school orchestras is the theme from "Jeopardy"; comic Daniel-Ryan Spaulding; and essayist David Bouchier.

Although I try to "kill your darlings"[15], sometimes I fail, and someone else does it for me, as in this revert which was summarized as "Removed cute anecdote".[16]
