About Me

I am an archivist and special collections librarian with a master's degree in art history. I have spent much of my career creating and editing metadata and thinking about how structured data can be discovered, shared, manipulated, transformed and repurposed.

My goal here is to provide accurate and useful information about art, artists and visual culture, and perhaps other topics of personal interest. I also look forward to learning more about Wikidata.

Conflict of Interest Statement

I, Adarlington, am an employee of the Getty Research Institute, a cultural institution per WP:GLAM that is dedicated to advancing knowledge and understanding of the visual arts and art history. I will only make edits that are beneficial to the goals of Wikipedia.

When editing articles, I also try to refer researchers to related primary sources in libraries and archives. I do occasionally insert links to archival resources held by the Getty Research Institute, my employer, when they are pertinent to a topic.

I will modify my editing behavior in response to problems cited by other editors or if my editing conflicts with Wikipedia guidelines. I welcome other editors to contact me via my user talk page if I appear to do anything contrary to Wikipedia etiquette or editorial guidelines. --Adarlington (talk) 18:08, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
