Hello. I am IndigoHarbor, a Wikipedia editor with a particular interest in books, magazines, journals, periodicals, and the history of publishing.
Most of my editing is concerned with improving existing articles where information may be dated, poorly organised, insufficiently linked, or difficult to follow. I am especially interested in older articles about publications and literary subjects that can benefit from routine maintenance, better sourcing, and clearer presentation.
Editing interests
[edit]My main areas of interest include:
- Books and literature
- Magazines and periodicals
- Academic journals and scholarly publishing
- Publishing and publishing history
- Newspapers and other forms of print media
- Literary magazines and reviews
- Book series and notable literary works
- Publishing houses and independent presses
- Literary awards and publishing awards
- The history of printing and print culture
I also work on biographical articles connected with these subjects, particularly:
- Authors and writers
- Editors and magazine editors
- Publishers
- Journalists
- Literary critics
- Scholars associated with journals and literary publications
- Printers, booksellers, and other figures in publishing history
Editing approach
[edit]I generally prefer small, verifiable improvements to existing articles. These may include correcting grammar and punctuation, improving awkward prose, organising sections, fixing wikilinks, checking bibliographic details, cleaning up references, and correcting categorisation.
For older books and periodicals, I am particularly interested in publication dates, editors, publishers, places of publication, publication frequency, title changes, and other bibliographic details that may have been overlooked.
Where possible, I rely on reliable published sources, library catalogues, bibliographies, scholarly works, newspaper archives, and established reference works.
Current interests
[edit]Some areas I regularly browse for maintenance work include:
- Defunct literary magazines
- Historical periodicals
- Older academic journals
- Small and independent publishing houses
- Literary and bibliographical societies
- Early twentieth-century publishing
- Editors and publishers with incomplete biographies
- Books with incomplete publication histories
- Literary awards and their recipients
Useful links
[edit]Notes
[edit]I use this page mainly as a record of my editing interests and as a convenient place for links connected with the subjects I work on. Suggestions concerning articles on books, periodicals, publishing history, or related biographies are welcome on my talk page.
