Smallchief or Little Chief are family names dating from 1825 when an American Indian ancestor of that title signed a treaty with the United States. I create content about the history of the Indians of the Americas and the Europeans who encountered them, World War II resistance movements, agriculture, conservation and protected areas, the Vietnam War, China missionaries, refugees, and women's soccer. I also have a statistical bent and create lists with socio-economic and geographic data. I suppose I'm a Renaissance man because, technologically speaking, I am rushing headlong into the 15th century.

My Wikipedia philosophy, assuming I have one, is to give attention to topics that merit more attention and ignore topics that get more attention than they merit.

I take perverse pleasure in writing articles that nobody reads. Perhaps the article with the fewest views to which I contributed is Cayetano Pignatelli, 3rd Marquis of Rubi with 0.20 views per day. That's a mouthful of a title, so I changed it to his better-known name of Marqués de Rubí, expanded the article, and added a few links. I anticipate more views in the future. (Since I edited the article and changed the title, the Marqués de Rubí article has received an average of 4 views per day. I'm happier about that trivial triumph than any sensible person should be.)

204 articles created 2010-2024. No stubs!
