Important contributions

Added missing entry Past perfect in the article English verbs
Completed a half written line in entry on Past simple in same article
Added a fair amount to the article Pleasure
Corrected definition of Divorcee to include both sexes, while explaining the original usage
Wrote the article Youth Worker to stop the page redirecting to Child and Youth Worker which is a totally different thing.
Added to the article Child and Youth Worker: 1. a footnote referencing a definition; 2. a line explaining the potential confusion with Youth Worker
Wrote article Aught ought naught nought to explain the etymology and present usage of those words
- Merged into other articles and then lost altogether... OWNM!
Expanded and edited section Present Participle in English verbs to explain the use of the gerund and the verbal noun as distinct from the present participle
- Seems to have been accepted, verbatim. WTS, though!
Edited parts of the article on Pink Floyd: moved two paragraphs in Intro to new subsection in article body; commented certain passages with "neutrality disputed", "Citation needed", etc; proposed a change to a sentence by adding strike-through to original and underlining my replacement; added strike-through to a redundant sentence.
- Mostly manually reverted, but also mostly appreciated, apart from overuse of tags... Paragraphs still where I put them. :)
Extensively revised article on Fearne Cotton as it was marked "fansite", and was mainly an unbalanced list of career highlights without any substance. Some of the links had been hijacked too...
Worked on Holly Willoughby. It was merely a list of career highlights plus some trivia. Consequently, someone suggested that this article should be deleted. I disagree: she is fast becoming one of the UK's best-loved TV presenters. Addendum: she now co-hosts This Morning!
Rewrote Lou and Andy as it was merely a list of things Andy does with little actual substance.
Wrote 21st-century classical music to discuss recent develoments in classical music and to avoid edit wars on Contemporary classical music that would seek to push that article back and forth between these two titles.
Also, extensively reworked sections of 20th-century classical music and Contemporary classical music.
Wrote Emily Hall about the 21st-century female composer acclaimed by Roxanna Panufnik
Wrote Piano extended technique
Wrote Post-tonal music theory
Massively reworked Quartal and quintal harmony
Created a Wikipedia book on Stravinsky
Massively expanded Template:Intervals after noticing that the wolf interval was missing.
Created Augmented seventh which originally redirected to the unrelated augmented seventh chord.
Created Orwell comma after spotting the red link on List of musical intervals. No idea what application it has.
Created Mark Engebretson over previously deleted page (WP:CSD G12)
