About me |
Hi! My name is Andrea James. I am a writer and activist based in Los Angeles. I also run a production company called Deep Stealth Productions with my friend Calpernia Addams. I coached Felicity Huffman for her role in Transamerica and appear at the very beginning of the film. I am also in the HBO documentary Middle Sexes and a Logo documentary about our involvement in V-Day with Eve Ensler and Jane Fonda called Beautiful Daughters. I also run several websites on consumer issues, and I am a proud affiliate of Quackwatch. I consider Wikipedia one of the most important online projects happening right now, and I am delighted to do what I can to contribute. My interests include issues related to film and literature, scientific methodology, consumer fraud and medical quackery, skeptical inquiry, hoaxes, gender, hair removal, humor, and probably several other things since I wrote this. Though I realize the irony of having one in my own user page, I hate seeing a red link in an article, so I usually click on it and start an entry if I can find enough information. I've made over 14,000 edits and started over 900 articles, many of them biographies. I especially enjoy working on controversial biographies of living people that require detailed attribution. Thanks to all who have contributed to this important step forward in the propagation of human knowledge! |

My favorite Wikipedia moment (so far) |
For some reason, I got all fascinated with the revelation that W. Mark Felt was Deep Throat in late May 2005, which led to a great collaboration on his biography with dozens of other Wikipedians. The article was even mentioned in the Washington Post the next day:
I hope you will get involved and make additions or corrections when you see an opportunity. Drop me a note on my talk page! |
