From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Graduate of the University of Chicago, BA in Anthropology and Linguistics, minored in Film. Received my MA in Linguistics from UChicago, now currently pursuing a doctorate. Specialty is historical linguistics and phonology.

Boxing enthusiast too (have competed at amateur level). Not as enthusiastic about MMA, but I stay informed about that sport too.

Marxist. Fascinated with the USA's evolving military bureaucracy in tandem with its imperialist designs.

Bit of a gnomer. I mostly like filling out lists, elaborating on vague details, adding dates, and correcting spelling and grammar.

Currently working on improving boxing championship lists, especially the more inclusive "list of world [weight class] boxing champions" pages, which often consist of incorrect dates, missing champions, no sources, a lack of details in title lineages, and inconsistent formatting across the lists; the difference between the world heavyweight champions list (a very well-written article) and the rest is striking to say the least.

Pages I have made

[edit]
  • List of NYSAC world champions — Created during my first year as a PhD student; first real step in my boxing championship project, fills in a major gap in the documentation of the sport's championship history.
  • Eric Rosenbach — Article I made during my first year of undergrad

Below are a bunch of stubs I made when I was maybe thirteen years old
