My Wikipedia biography is

Journal of American History and the American Journal of Sociology, and have been a permanent or visiting professor at U Illinois-Chicago, Washington U, U. Michigan, Harvard U, West Point, Moscow State (in Russia), etc. I am retired from teaching as a Research Professor at Montana State University, Billings, Montana, USA. Here's my favorite book I've written: The Winning of the Midwest: 1888-1896 (1971), online here
. For my entire career, I have been (in terms of theology) a moderately liberal Roman Catholic historian of religion, a moderately conservative historian of politics, and a radical in methodology.

My Wikimania talk on July 13, 2012 explains how wiki editors refought the war of 1812 --it is online at https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=zbdC__-JUNY#t=1871 I revised the talk to also explore how Wikipedia operates like a frontier society. It is now (Oct 5 2012) in print as "Military History on the Electronic Frontier: Wikipedia Fights the War of 1812," The Journal of Military History 76#4 (October 2012): 1165-82; a version is online here

The Half Barnstar
Don't know if you actually did write half of the article or not, but I don't care enough to switch awards. During the process of the nomination for Alexander Hamilton, you were both tenacious in your defense of the page and edits to users who were quick to make changes (including myself), yet amiable and easy to work with. I'm a bit burned out on Hamilton as of now, but we will meet again, as I hope to get that article (along with a few other Founding Fathers) to an FA status (though I might settle with a few just at GA). Just a matter of when...Anyway, here you go! Thanks! LeftAire (talk) 22:13, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
