Wikipedia Easy Search

BFDhD is a writer and historian from Ohio, now living in Brooklyn and working in New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. I contribute to articles on architecture, National Register lists, history, Ohio, Brooklyn, experimental film, and devote much of my time to enhancing the Escalator page. I am a stickler for verified sources, user authentication, correct spelling, factual accuracy, and proper grammar. In my non-Wikipedia life (what? such a thing exists?), I am working on a Multiple Property Designation for all of the Lustron homes in Ohio.
