Projects founded by myself [edit]Awards [edit]Featured articles [edit]I officially have 12 FAs, and one of my articles, Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, has been translated into Danish and is a featured article on Danish wikipedia. FA is a grueling process, wouldn't recommend going it alone. For a long time I disapproved of the process in that it often seemed impossibly difficult (there is no such thing as perfection). Since 2011 or so though I've noticed an improvement in the process and more editors seem willing to help promote articles nowadays and often give constructive criticism, when in the old days on here it seemed FA attracted a lot of people who would oppose for the sake of it. All of these were co-written with others as I wouldn't have the drive to take one on alone and generally don't like working on one article endlessly when there are several million articles needing basic attention. I have tremendous respect for editors such as Brian Boulton and Tim Riley who are able to channel their most of their energies into getting articles to reach FA status and just how much effort, patience and focus that requires.
Good articles [edit]Officially I have contributed significantly to 88 Good Articles, but I never used to keep track of these "officially" so the figure is actually higher than this. I have begun listing the articles I've contributed to in passing GA since March 2010:
As reviewer [edit]From July 2011 I have begun reviewing the occasional good article to help with the growing log of articles needing a review. I have reviewed 62 articles to date, of which 3 articles I've failed. Like other editors such as User:Tim riley I consider GA one of the most important steps in wikipedia development, articles which have formally been reviewed and some form of quality has been met. My feeling is that we should be aiming to get every article up to GA status, even if not FA standard. We currently don't even have 20,000 good articles on wikipedia which is pathetic given that we have 4 million odd articles. We should be aiming for at least 1 in 50 articles being a good article, At least one in 10 really. Wikipedia should be largely about trying to make every single article in the encyclopedia of a decent quality. As a reader, I believe there is nothing more important than reading an article which at least indicates it has been reviewed and read over and fully sourced so the information can at least be verified if you doubt it. I am, however, only willing to promote those articles which clearly meet GA criteria and which have an acceptable degree of coverage and sources. The higher quality GA nominations can be spotted a mile off from those which are plagued with issues.
