About me

(waves) I'm Victoria Short. I live in Central Wisconsin, own four horses, four goats, and read science fiction, history, and genealogy books. I also spend a bit too much time playing games on my computer. I work from home as a horse bloodlines researcher and also am a gamemaster for a very small niche online game. I'm also a slave to the farm animals.

I'm interested in working on horse articles as well as Medieval England, specifically the Anglo-Norman period. Right now, I'm focusing on getting the medieval bishops up to snuff. When I'm sick of that, I fiddle with Quarter Horse and Arabian articles. Also working on the National Cutting Horse Association Hall of Fame. After that, I think some of the Anglo-Norman kings need serious help.

I studied Medieval English history at college, specifically the Anglo-Norman period, and have a great fondness for King William II Rufus. I'm not fond of Archbishop Anselm of Canterbury in return, which is why I'm not working on Anselm's article. I kinda feel that Stigand got a raw deal in life, and think that King Henry I of England, Rufus' younger brother, managed to do things his older brother did but doesn't get the bad press that Rufus did. Helps if you live forever, I guess.

My horses are Arabians, purebred and partbred, except for two American Quarter Horse mares. The others are one purebred gelding, one half-Arabian broodmare, one half-Arabian gelding and one three-quarters-Arabian mare. The purebred gelding did Working cow horse for two years, but right now is back with us trying to turn himself into a mud horse. The two breeding mares are taking the year off and being lazy, no babies next spring for us! The other two mares are just growing fat! Things are pretty busy right now, so while I'm working on Wiki, I'm not always able to respond quickly to concerns.

FTs

• Members of the Gregorian mission

FAs

FLs

GAs

For amusement

• Of the 58 articles I've nominated for FA, 41 are on individual people, 6 are on individual horses, 2 are on horse breeds, 2 are on medieval written works, 2 are on medieval events, 1 is on the Middle Ages as a period of history, 1 is on a medieval tax, 1 is on a medieval battle, 1 is on a modern horse regulation, and 1 is on an antique carousel. Of the individual people - 34 are clerics, and 7 are on layman. Of the 33 clerics, 18 are archbishops, 13 are bishops, 1 was an abbot, and 2 were archdeacons. Of the 18 archbishops, 12 are Archbishops of Canterbury, 4 are Archbishops of York, 1 is an Archbishop of Rouen, and 1 is an Archbishop of Lichfield. Of the laymen, 3 are medieval Norman noblemen, 1 is a medieval English king, 1 is on an American railroad president, 1 is on an American slave trader and forger, and 1 is on a Jewish head of a Nazi-era Ghetto.
• Of the 140 articles I've nominated for GA (that aren't FAs - 51 of my FA nominations were GAs beforehand), 121 are on individual people and 11 are on individual horses. Of the remainder, 2 are on medieval written works, 1 is on a medieval artifact, 1 is on a medieval church council, 1 is on an ancient Greek institution, 1 is on a medieval administrative document, 1 is on an animal species, and 1 is on a racetrack.

(Note that I don't count in the above either the co-noms that Malleus has graciously included me on nor the rescue work I've done at Featured Article Review.)

The obvious lesson to draw is that I obviously have too much time on my hands.
