Wikipedia articles primarily written by myself

These are articles that I either wrote in their entirety, or so extensively revised and expanded that the article is essentially 90-100% my work:

Wikipedia articles with significant contributions from me

Then there are articles that I’ve contributed to substantially–approximately 50-90% of the writing/rewriting, as well as extensive research and citations for any unreferenced original content.

Thomas M. Blackstock
Thomas M. and Bridget Blackstock House
Anya Camilleri

Vernon Jones – Good Article – DYK for November 9, 2015

"No, but I've put a lot work into it"

These articles may not quite meet my "approximately 50-90% of the writing/rewriting" guideline, but I've done extensive work, and collaborated with many excellent editors, and I'm quite pleased with them.

Old articles primarily written by myself (2004 to 2008)

Though I'm still proud of the work I did on these articles, I haven't touched them in years. They have all been greatly expanded and improved by subsequent editors. In some cases, little or nothing of my work remains. But that's how Wikipedia is supposed to work!
