ϋrbanяenewaℓ is taking a long wikibreak and will be back on Wikipedia when I have a little more time to devote. I am hopeful more users will pick up on the topics I have been working on while I am gone. I am sure I will be back full force at some point and in the meantime I will be watching and reserve the right to stop by from time to time if necessary. Effective as of October 1, 2010

Personal Information

Welcome to my user page on Wikipedia. I have shared some information about myself and my interests on Wikipedia.

(My Talk) • (My Contributions) • (My Sandbox)

Location: Boston, MA

Occupation: Finance

Baseball: Chicago White Sox

Football: Chicago Bears

My primary areas of focus on Wikipedia over the last few years have been private equity, finance and companies. These are not the most active areas of the project. I work in Finance which potentially explains the interest (although maybe not why I spend time on Wikipedia. I started the Private Equity Task Force to focus the efforts of interested Wikipedians on this area. I have worked on creating new content around private equity investors and private equity firms More recently, I have been working on defunct but historically notable financial institutions. I have been trying to populate the list of former investment banks.

My signature over time

When I made my first edits on Wikipedia, I picked a name based on a book I was reading at the time. I didn't have any idea that I would still be using this name years later. But I like it and I am going to stick with it...
