What's unnoteworthy for you might be noteworthy for me. What's unnoteworthy for someone from France, might be noteworthy for someone from South-Africa.
What's obscure for you, might not be for me. What's ... you got the idea.[1]

My hobby is house and occupant research of canal houses in Amsterdam. Of some canal houses much is known, but in general I collect relevant information in tax books, stored in the Amsterdam City Archives, in the literature or on internet. Research provided details on an Amsterdam mayor Albert Burgh, my first lemma here and recently on Andries Bicker. Further I listen to baroque operas. That interest has led to many lemma's on the Dutch Wikipedia, here I added to Christina, Queen of Sweden and Georg Frideric Handel, etc.
I also have an interest in Dutch bankers from the 18th century, like Hope & Co., Leendert Pieter de Neufville, and the Bank of Amsterdam.
- I like to disentangle things and knot them together again.
Various: Maximilien Robespierre (2,319 changes), Germaine de Staël and the September Massacres, Grigori Rasputin ( 1,947 changes), but my version disappeared and is visible on my website. I was involved in articles on Ivan Ilyin, and the House of Golitsyn, recently on Peter the Great. I liked to work on revolutionaries as John Skey Eustace and Chevalier de Saint-Georges which had 450,000 pageviews in April 2023 before the movie came out. When working on the French invasion of Russia and the Battle of Krasnoi I used ChatGPT for refinement.
