I'm Timothy Patrick Farley a computer security analyst who lives in Atlanta, Georgia. I do computer security and reverse engineering work and I'm a skeptic. My main interests in Wikipedia are in the areas of scientific skepticism and pseudoscience as well as the city of Atlanta where I live. I particularly like writing about historic buildings and the architects who designed them. Lately I've also been branching more into music-related articles, particularly jazz.

I also am interested in the Women in Red effort and am personally trying to help with that. I've pledged to myself not to make the man/woman imbalance any worse than it is, by writing more women's bios than I write men's.

Wikipedia Articles

Here are articles on Wikipedia which I created:

Biographies

To keep myself honest about my pledge to not make the gender imbalance in biographies any worse, here are the biographies I've created lined up next to each other. I've been writing bios of only women lately, to stay better than 2 to 1 (women to men).

Non-Biographies

• Variety Playhouse - my fourth (and so far largest) from-scratch article, on a music venue in Atlanta.
• The Tabernacle
• The Tabernacle
  - didn't create this, but might as well have - I took it from 4K with 2 references and no photos to a 27K article with 45 references and 6 photos. Didn't know the DYK process then, should have submitted one.
• Jumpin' at the Woodside - the famous Count Basie tune was only a redirect for some reason, so I wrote it an article. Featured on the main page as a Did You Know? on March 5, 2017.
• Riverside Cemetery (Macon, Georgia) - was a redlink in my article about Ellamae Ellis League, did it in one evening
• Woodland Cemetery (Des Moines, Iowa) - noticed it in researching Rose Connor, was easy enough to stub out
• Swanton House - another historic building, noticed it needed an article while working on Mary Gay House
• The Seminary (Lithonia, Georgia) - another historic building, happens to be near my place of work so it was easy for me to take some photos
• Rockdale County Jail - another historic building near my place of work, wrote it up & took all the photos too
• Georgia Aviation Hall of Fame - list of aviators, boy was this a pain to get all the formatting right.
• Aaron and Margaret Parker Jr. House - another historic building, took pictures of it myself
• Georgia Newspaper Hall of Fame - in part because they don't have a website at all anymore, so looking up who is in this is difficult
• May Patterson Goodrum House - another historic building, ties in with a bio I'm working on
• John Lewis
  has sparked interest so I posted what I had.
• Old Market (Louisville, Georgia) -- historic structure that came up in my news feed

Works in Progress (Sandbox)

From most active to least:

• Mary Latimer McLendon - Georgia's "mother of suffrage"
• User:Krelnik/Sandbox - OPEN
• Carrie Brown Kent - first black woman mayor in Georgia
• User:Krelnik/Sandbox8 - empty
• American Utopia Tour - David Byrne's current tour, just need to write some body text
• Marion Stegeman Hodgson - WASP
• Leroy Napier House - historic house, thought demolished, the actual story is much weirder
• Clermont Lee - someone already did this, need to merge
• Amy Tanner - revamp of existing article, I think I can expand it enough to get her a DYK so I'm gonna do it all at once.
• Mike Marmer - Emmy-winning comedy writer for Get Smart and The Carol Burnett Show. I may write this as a two-person bio with his writing partner Stan Burns as many of the same sources apply.
• Lindsay Beyerstein - journalist, podcaster. At least 21 articles already mention her by name.
• Buckhead. [1] [2] [3] [4]

I maintain a "to do list" of articles that I could work on, but haven't started a sandbox for here. Also includes existing articles that I've noticed need work.
