Looking back at more than ten years of participation on Wikipedia, I realize that I'm not a particularly prolific editor, and certainly not a well known one. I spent most of my time buzzing from article to article as the spirit moved me. A relatively small amount of them received my sustained attention, and those that did are mostly constructions made by many hands. There is a tiny number of them, though, for which I provided 66–100% authorship and can look back – at least for now – and say, "I made that."

• A Doll's House (1973 Losey film)
• Albin K. Longren
• Attempted assassination of Leonid Brezhnev
• Battle of Valmy
• Chad & Jeremy
• Cult of the Supreme Being
• Forest of Compiègne
• Forever Now (The Psychedelic Furs album)
• 2006 French Socialist Party presidential primary
• Gayle McLaughlin

• International Pop Underground Convention
• Introduction to the Enemy
• Louis Antoine de Saint-Just
• Louis Braille
• "Rebel Girl" (song)
• Richard Cobb

Smaller things

• Abel Douay
• Ansbert of Rouen
• Arthur Daley (sportswriter)
• Badge Man
• Bangles (EP)
• Betty Brosmer
• Carol Miller (DJ)
• Drinking
• Ernst Mahler
• Isaac Van Wart
• Jean-François-Auguste Moulin
• Leopold Sonnemann
• Live at the Whisky a Go Go: The Complete Recordings
• Missouri School for the Blind
• Olfert Fischer

• Stormont Vail Health
• Sweetheart of the Sun
• The Joe Strummer Foundation
• Turn It Around: The Story of East Bay Punk
• The Lictors Bring to Brutus the Bodies of His Sons
• Yacht issue ...

• I also created a number of bare-bones stub/start pages, like Girls Get Busy, The Star of Bethlehem (1912 film), and all of the regional natural parks of France: Brière • Livradois-Forez • Lorraine • Morvan • Normandie-Maine • Orient Forest • Pilat • Vercors •
• Some redirects are my contributions, like physiatry and Bust.com, as are a few disambiguation pages, like Pennybacker and Oeuvre. By far my most rewarding creation among these was Cheerleader (disambiguation), not because it's great by itself but because it allowed me to remove this boorish hatnote.

• I've designed about a dozen userboxes, including the mildly popular "Edit Summaries" box seen above. I still believe that useful summaries are essential to being a responsible Wikipedian, even though I don't always follow my own maxim anymore. In recent times, my physical disability has increased such that I now usually leave very brief summaries and often rely on the all-purpose "c/e". Regrettable but true.
