About
I edit under the name JonathanYork. This is a pseudonym. I keep personal details limited per WP:UP and WP:OUTING. If you need something, leave a note on my talk page.
Editing focus
- Copyediting for clarity and style per WP:MOS.
- Adding citations and tracking down page-numbered sources per WP:V.
- Topic areas I tend to watch: Upstate New York history (including Adirondacks), architecture, transport, and technology history.
- Small maintenance: disambiguation fixes, categories, infobox cleanup, and dead-link repairs.
Contribution approach
- Reliable sources first; avoid blogs and unsourced claims. Prefer books, journals, reputable news, and archival materials.
- Keep original research out (WP:NOR). If it isn’t published in a reliable source, it doesn’t go in.
- Bias toward verifiability over completeness. Unsourced material is trimmed or tagged.
What I don’t edit
- Biographies of living persons without high-quality sources (WP:BLP).
- Articles where I have a conflict of interest (WP:COI). If one exists, I disclose it on the talk page and suggest edits there.
Disclosures
No paid editing. No affiliations affecting my usual topics. If that changes, I’ll note it here and on relevant talk pages.
Sandboxes
- User:JonathanYork/sandbox for drafts
- User:JonathanYork/scratch for notes and citation snippets
Tools I rely on
- WP:REFTOOLS for citations
- Help:Citation Style 1 templates (CS1)
- WP:DISAMBIG, WP:RS, WP:NPOV
Contact
Please use my talk page. I’m generally responsive but not on-call.
