These are articles I've contributed to in a major way. Nothing to be bragging about, but I saw another user do this and thought it would be nice to as well. Please note that a major contribution doesn't have a set size of words/edits/whatever, but (at least, on this page), is measured in how important it is to the article. However, I try to list only those articles, the size of which I've increased by at least 150%, or heavily copy-edited. Obviously, a major contribution is not every non-minor edit.
This page was made for the following purposes:
- For my own record
- For anyone who is interested in my contributions

Major contributions[edit]
This is mainly expansions of stubs or constant maintenance of an article. I personally gauge a major contribution by how much time it has taken me to contribute to the article. Therefore, even if it's a (bunch of) small edits which required a lot of time/effort, I will consider it a major contribution. Note: The list makes no claim about the quality of an article, and some are of poor quality even after the major contribution. I hope to come back to each and every one and improve it further, but there's so much to do and so little time to do it.
Main[edit]
* – I actually created these articles, but much of the content was cut from (an)other article(s). ** – Articles which were copied entirely or mostly from other articles to which I made major contributions.
Added tabular data[edit]
Tabular data usually comes in the form of long lists, which are simple but very time-consuming to add. This includes statistics for ice hockey players, lists of bus lines, lists of intersections for roads, etc.

FAs, FLs and GAs[edit]
I have significantly contributed to the following FAs, FLs and GAs (per above lists):
List of Bleach chapters
List of Bleach episodes (season 1) (split from List of Bleach episodes)
List of Bleach episodes (season 2) (split from List of Bleach episodes)
List of Bleach episodes (season 3) (split from List of Bleach episodes)
List of Bleach episodes (season 4) (split from List of Bleach episodes)
List of Bleach episodes (season 5) (split from List of Bleach episodes)
List of Israeli cities
Battles of the Kinarot Valley
Operation Pleshet
Arad, Israel
Rukia Kuchiki
Sde Dov Airport
Other that the above creations/major contributions of FAs, FLs and GAs, I have contributed in various ways to other such articles:
North Yemen Civil War – battle map
Battles of Latrun – copyediting
Haifa – 2 images (photo, map), new information and citations
Tel Aviv – 2 images (photo, map), several extensive reviews for FAC
Ashdod – large amount of copyediting in article's initial stages
Project namespace[edit]
I have created or helped create/draft the following policies, guidelines, essays, etc. which are generally followed on Wikipedia:
- Wikipedia:Babel/Levels (no status; amounts to clarification for babel userbox usage)
- Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Hebrew) (guideline)
Other projects[edit]
While I value quality over quantity, most of my edits are minor and probably not very significant. However, a certain type of edit, if done a lot, constitutes a major contribution. Examples of such edits in my case:
- Updating information on Israeli towns and cities, such as population, spelling of cities (there were a ton of redirects because no one could agree on transliteration), and more.
- Fixing typos and spelling mistakes - especially watching the word similiar (there are about a dozen new instances daily!)
- Adding nikud to articles with Hebrew text (localities in Israel complete)
- Adding infoboxes to articles on Israeli localities
- Making lists of articles that need to be written, see User:Ynhockey#Navigation

Contributions I'm not proud of[edit]
While most of my contributions are nothing to brag about, there are some which I'd rather not have made at all. They are:
- Some of my early edits/article moves, which would definitely constitute as vandalism (they were reverted). I think some of them caused quite a bit of pain (with double redirects and stuff).
- Some of my early edits which had information based on things I heard and/or remembered vaguely. These were often incorrect and in any case bordered on original research. I am now much more careful about what I put in articles.
- Proposal for the Anime and Manga Barnstar - don't get me wrong, I feel great about having proposed this, but on the other hand, it was the first proposal for a single project-related barnstar after the well-established Spoken Wikipedia Barnstar, and therefore many users decided that Anime/Manga did not have a large enough scope. Therefore, all farther project proposals were dumped into a new category called Other Related Awards, so none of them look notable. Just for the record, it took us a very long time to decide on the Barnstar image and we ended up with Mitsukai's BarnSakura.
- ... or lack thereof. I meant to create the following articles for a while but someone created them before me:
