A few of the pages I've started

Interesting things
- Most websites have the wrong dates for some episodes of Doomwatch. We don't.
- http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4648659
Date project
I have worked to get date formatting and (de)-linking up to scratch, and standardised. But blow me down with a feather, Wikipedia keeps growing and changing, so there's as much to do now as when I started!
Barnstars et al.
I have some and I like getting them. I have also given some out.
Things that stayed too long
- Note, these a random sampling of errors, vandalism and hoaxes, some spotted by me, some by others. The point is to remind us that Wikipedia vandalism is not "all corrected within a few minutes" as we sometimes seem to think.
- SE 194W
- Who has the real diamond? [1] 6 weeks.
- Mañana Será Otro Dia 5 months
- Street racer ski 9 weeks.
- Hardin County, Ohio was a country for nearly six months.

- Ever heard of "Aka Amir khosro Ahmadi"? [6] Probably not. Stayed for 17 months.[7] And what's this about?

- The Protestant Cruse family was made Jewish for two-and-a-half years, from the article's creation in April 2009 to October 2011. Based on the false information on Wikipedia, family members were listed on an antisemitic website.
Database dumps
Disambiguation
I have also disambiguated "British" (several times), please correct any mistakes you come across. See User:Rich Farmbrough/Disambig scripts for a tool I used to help with disambiguation.
WP errors
There are so many ways WP can fail.
Useful style guides etc.
Edits
Generalist.
I would like to be writing great articles, but actually I'm an inveterate "fixer" of anything that I see that looks wrong - mainly links and copyedits. I have spent some time on GFDLing about 3000 images, and on some specific articles. for example Spaghetti House siege and Pedro Lopez. I also migrated a fair few biographies from DNB.
- [8] was edit 750,000.
