[edit] I'm proud of...

...FIFA World Cup, an article I helped reorganize and split off articles from. It later earned me a Barnstar (see above)! FIFA World Cup also is a featured article, and was featured on the main page on June 8, 2006!
...FIFA World Cup hosts. I built this article from the ground up, and it isn't that bad of an article.
...my conversion of a list into a neat table at 50 Greatest Game Shows of All Time (GSN), as well as 50 Greatest Game Shows of All Time (TV Guide).
...2006 NFL Draft, an article I helped improve to featured list status!
...my writing for the Wikipedia Signpost.
- I entirely wrote the 1000 Administrators article (September 5 2006), with the assistance of the uncredited NoSeptember.
- I contribute to the "Features and admins" section. I solely wrote the September 5, 2006, September 11, 2006, September 25, 2006, October 2, 2006 and October 9, 2006 editions. The editions I mostly wrote were the August 28, 2006 and September 18, 2006. I was part of a collaobration for the August 14, 2006 and August 21, 2006 editions. I added just a minor fix to the August 7, 2006 edition.
...my efforts in getting the 2005 New York City transit strike on the Main Page.
...editing the "In the news" section on the Main Page (as an administrator) to include the Ugandan-Lord's Resistance Army truce.
