And today this is how I feel...

About me

edit

(waves) I'm Victoria Short. I live in Central Wisconsin, own three 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 one American Quarter Horse mare. 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. Things are pretty busy right now, so while I'm working on Wiki, I'm not always able to respond quickly to concerns.

For amusement

edit
  • 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.
