Sing, goddess, of Achilles' ruinous anger
Which brought ten thousand pains to the Achaeans,
And cast the souls of many stalwart heroes
To Hades, and their bodies to the dogs
And birds of prey.

The Iliad

Hi, I'm Stlwart111...

Wikipedia contributions

Most of my focus has been on

biographical articles
. I have also contributed to other pages relating to history, culture and politics.

By early 2015, I had created almost 200 new Wikipedia articles and made almost 15,000 edits. I recently discovered that puts me in Wikipedia's top 3,000 article creators and top 5,000 most active Wikipedians.

I enjoy working at

conflict of interest
nonsense to keep everyone busy. But I like the idea that the AFD process keeps in the good (that provides value to Wikipedia) while removing the bad. We don't always get it exactly right but the net result is still pretty good as far as I'm concerned.

I enjoy finding AFD nominees that I think deserve to be fixed and putting in a few hours of intense effort to try and save them. However, I am not an "inclusionist" and don't agree with saving things just for the sake of proving you can ("technically") find a policy to weakly justify inclusion. Most of the compliments / barnstars I have received are for my AFD and article saving work, so I figure I must be doing something right.

In 2010 I wrote

WP:NFOOTY
which has now become an oft-quoted guideline at AFD.

I tend to try and help Wikipedia's

the Admin's incident noticeboard
. If I've done anything you think over-steps the mark, please let me know.

Curios and oddities

I like creating, and contributing to, articles about strange things from religious history like the

Australian Women's Weekly Children's Birthday Cake Book
.

Mini project

In 2011/12 I started a mini-project relating to the

Papal conclave of 1644
.

Details

To that end I have created the following:

...and a whole bunch more.

After significant contributions,

B Class
articles - thanks to everyone who helped out.

Signature

Until 3 June 2014 I used the signature Stalwart111. All of my talk page contributions (bar a handful when I first started) were signed off using this signature prior to that date. It was pointed out to me that my signature included "font" tags which were outdated. So I revamped my signature with new coding and a new design and now sign off as Stlwart111.
