Most of my editing time is spent being a Wikignome, but occasionally my edits are rather more apparent. While Wikipedia is a collaborative process, and a ground-rule is that no-one should claim 'ownership' of any articles, nevertheless it is of encouragement to me to see where I have made a significant contribution to the cause. This page is an unashamed (but incomplete) list of articles to which I am pleased to have made a major contribution in some way.

'Adopted'

Pages created by someone else, but subsequently 'adopted' by User:EdJogg. Typically this means: adding the bulk of the text to the article, or substantially re-writing what's already there, to the extent that the majority of the article (except images) is EdJogg's work. Usually also means that article will remain on watchlist and monitored for future changes. Note that some such pages may have been omitted.

ICC Records
Mortehoe
Traction engine -- (apart from images and manufacturers list)
Steamroller
Burpham, Surrey

Ferdinand Verbiest -- major expansion and research project, just to get a Main Page DYK!
