In January 2020 I changed my Wikipedia name from MissionInn.Jim to OvertAnalyzer.
Wikipedia Interests
My primary hobbies and interests, as they relate to Wikipedia, are Genealogy and Local History of Riverside County, California. As I encounter research information on either topic, and find reliable sources, I try to take the time to update information on Wikipedia Growing up in Riverside, California I was exposed to a community of people who valued the cultural and historic aspects of the town. As I come across helpful resources and references, I apply what I find to help create or improve related Wikipedia articles. I moved to the Coachella Valley in 2019, still in Riverside County, and have started focusing more of my wiki efforts on the valley and related topics.
I have spent significant time locating and categorizing Wikipedia articles related to the City and County of Riverside. Organizing the information into categories helped acquaint me with what had already been developed, and it simplifies cross-referencing information on related articles. I intend to update and add articles as I locate suitable source materials. I currently have a small but growing personal collection of books and other source materials to pull from. If you would like me to look something up, just ask.
I feel I have a particular knack for organizing information in a clear and meaningful way, and would be happy to assist anyone looking for suggestions, or just to review articles that might need some clarity. I always welcome feedback on what I write as well.
"Collaboration is the key to unlocking the power of diversity". If we are willing to listen, willing to put aside our feelings and bias, and willing to change our perspective or understanding, we open ourselves to learning from the diverse experiences of everyone around us. We then have a much better chance of achieving mutual objectives with superior results.
