I created a number of entries about defunct investment banks, an apparent specialty of mine: Alex. Brown & Sons, J. & W. Seligman & Co., S. G. Warburg & Co., White Weld & Co., Dillon, Read & Co., Harris, Forbes & Co., Halsey, Stuart & Co., G. H. Walker & Co., Herzog Heine Geduld, Inc., Kaufman Bros., Kaufmann, Alsberg & Co. Lee, Higginson & Co., and Winslow, Lanier & Co.
I substantially wrote but did not create the following entries about defunct investment banks: First Boston, and Robert Fleming & Co.
I created entries for the following extant investment banks: Ladenburg Thalmann, and William Blair & Company
I created entries for the following defunct law firms: Hall Dickler Kent Goldstein & Wood and Webster & Sheffield
I created entries for the following members of the Warburg banking family: Siegmund George Warburg, and Eric M. Warburg
I wrote substantial portions of the entry for Lawrence, MA and created an article for the Lawrence Public Library (Massachusetts) and for Diamond Spring Brewery.
I created the entries for the Manhattan Club (social club) and financiers Robert B. Stearns and Henry Hornblower.
As part of a diversion away from normal interests, I uploaded images of historic markers in Orange County, New York. Another diversion was creating a page for Japanese-American historian Roy Hidemichi Akagi.
Most recently, I have started writing articles about defunct manufacturing companies of the lower Merrimack Valley region of Massachusetts. I created articles for Merrimac Hat Company, Walker Body Company, Biddle and Smart, and S.R. Bailey & Co. of Amesbury, Massachusetts; and Holihan Brothers of Lawrence, Massachusetts.
