Hello, nice to meet you. You can call me Jen. I'm a wife and SAHM of four who writes encyclopedia articles on my iPhone 11 while folding laundry and waiting to pick up the kids from school, etc. One of these days I would like to become a working mom again, because money, but for the time being I'm mostly here with the goal of making new start-class to B-class quality articles on topics of low importance in my areas of interest (history, nature, books, women).

Random pondering
[edit]cite everything in your articles bc real printed books and court cases in actual judicial systems cite us sometimes now and that means we are part of the tree of knowledge and we have to be able to climb all the way up and back down again on a scaffold of citations or it's worthless
Translated articles
[edit]Discovering that an article I created has been translated into another language is the most incredible feeling. Such an honor, such a thrill. Big thanks to all the wonderful translators!
Work: Articles created 2025
[edit]Bold means that I think I did a good job or more likely that I just had a grand old time researching this topic.
🌱 means it's a stub and you shouldn't expect much.
➡️ means the page existed previously as redirect
❓means it hasn't been patrolled/reviewed yet, as far as I can tell
Order within categories is usually (but not always) chronologically newest to oldest.

COI/paid-editing declarations
[edit]Back in the day I worked at E! Online/Style and added a reference to an eonline story about the death of Michael Jackson, and created a handful of stubs like Isaac. After I retired (LOL) to having kids, as a favor to a friend, I added a bunch of citations to articles at some website she worked at but I honestly can't recall the website name and I don't care to look it up and revisit my shame, and I believe all of those were all reverted in short order. (sorry to whichever editor had to deal with that nonsense.) In 2018 I created the article mg (magazine) as a favor for a friend who had an online publicity gig and I told her I didn't want to be paid but she nonetheless sent me a $20 Starbucks gift card in thanks which I definitely used to buy coffee. I regret it all. I also did plenty of the usual "edit your alma mater" stuff at the beginning, and have contributed photos of places that I frequent in my home region, etc. If there is anything I have neglected to mention it's just because I have a Swiss-cheese brain but I will add it here when I rediscover it or am otherwise reminded of it. I think I've been clean since 2018 and I plan to remain so. (signed and last updated jengod (talk) 00:14, 3 January 2025 (UTC))
