Wiki History

I've started scores of articles, but the ones I'm most proud of deal with the video game industry, which I used to be a proud part of. With a few exceptions, I either completely authored or totally overhauled all the articles below. Of course I can't take credit (or blame) for the current state of any of the articles (Wikipedia is a community effort), but I'm proud that I was able to give birth to such important and interesting articles:

I often edit articles about subjects I have no particular interest in, usually with just small changes to grammar and formatting (in this sense, I'm often a WikiGnome). But here's a list (in chronological order, more or less) of articles with which I've had a great deal to do with. Some articles I've created, others I've just greatly expanded. I haven't included stubs that I've created (they don't count!) unless I later expanded it into a significant article. Newest work appears at the bottom.

Notable contributions

See also: my edit stats, or my edit stats according to a different tool

I've also created numerous categories. But since the 'pedia has about 16,000,000,000 categories right now, I'm not sure that's something to be proud of...

featured article

Indicates the article was featured in the
Main page
when the article was new.

Projects

Projects I'm officially interested in, but not necessarily an official member of.

Genuinely interesting

Though I didn't contribute a whole lot to these articles, they are interesting nonetheless:

  • Steve Wozniak: A true hero to every nerd
  • Voynich Manuscript
    : Truly weird; a hoax or genuine?
  • Alexander "Sawney" Bean
    : "Father" of a cannibalistic, legendary bandit family. Did they really even exist?
  • Spring Heeled Jack
    : Probably just a time-traveler using futuristic technology to scare English residents (my theory)
  • Sieve of Eratosthenes: A cool, ancient way to find prime numbers!
  • List of French words and phrases used by English speakers
    : sprinkle these phrases throughout your daily dialogue in order to sound intelligent
