COI declarations and information

From time to time, I will suggest edits to the page for NPR, where I was employed as a software engineer. As with all of my edits, I try my best to take a neutral point of view, free of marketing and advertorial content. I provide third-party citations needed for verification to the extent possible. I welcome any edits and feedback from the Wikipedia community in regards to my edits and suggested edits.

Things to do

  • Generally fill in gaps and build out the pages for American ornithologists, botanists, and other naturalists, especially women.
  • Get a definitive spelling of John Livzey Ridgway's middle name.
  • Master the layout of my userboxes.

Periodic maintenance and wikignoming

  • Clean up the references to "Smithsonian Institute." Most recent check: 26 December 2024
  • Clean up the references to "Brookings Institute." Most recent check: 25 April 2025

Sketchbook

  • Miscellaneous notes
  • The [http://www.nytimes.com/1994/12/12/obituaries/herbert-s-zim-is-dead-at-85-wrote-children-s-science-books.html Times obit] for Herbert Zim obscures the distinction between the Golden Guides for younger readers and the field guides.
  • Why is the entry for field mark nothing more than a stub?
  • Why is there no reference for List of authors of names published under the ICZN? Maybe it's more complicated than the botany list. Is there indeed an authoritative list of author (abbreviations)? I see two Richardsons, for instance.
  • a bird sanctuary is not really the same thing as an animal sanctuary, as we have defined that term
  • There is a note on the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center article to make it more encyclopedic.
  • I have some materials that could bolster the article on Huntley Meadows Park.
