User:Vysotsky

I am a librarian working in Leiden (the Netherlands). I am interested in artists, rabble-rousers and universities. I started lemmata such as Rudolf Breslauer, International Institute of Social History, Genesis Potini, Alphonso Lisk-Carew, Maxim Februari, Jay Jordan, Bibliotheca Thysiana, Carel Stolker, Johan Andreas Dèr Mouw, Stedelijk Gymnasium Leiden, Nicholas Mynheer, Roxane van Iperen, Research4Life (and some more). I contributed considerably to other entries, like Jan Broekhuis, Leiden University, J. Spencer Trimingham & the art journal Wendingen.

The pseudonym Vysotsky is a tribute to the admired Russian singer Владимир Высоцкий, poet, boozer and actor.
I occasionally write small stuff for The Signpost, about female fighter pilots, Austrian pianists, Winnie the Pooh, Serbian chess players, Alamy, a lesbian Swiss auto racer, Print Wikipedia and war photographers. An overview can be found here.

Wikipedia needs more references, bibliographies, notes & trustworthy external links.

A Wikipedia article is more attractive if images illustrate the text. That's why I added more than 10,000 images to Wikimedia Commons.

I also started a Dutch Wikipedians in Residence project 2013-3014 with 12 participating special libraries in the Netherlands (amongst 10 others the EYE film institute and the Rijksmuseum).

I have never received any personal compensation (financial or otherwise) for contributions I made to Wikipedia.

Some of the articles I started (or contributed considerably to):
