User:Niteowlneils/new articles
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Some of the articles that I have initially been the primary contributor (at least the ones I remember):
- Green Lake (created disamb page, moving the previous contents to Green Lake (Seattle), and moving all the links to the old page)
- Irene Ryan is probably my longest original article to date
- Lou Holtz--another long one, but this is mostly cut/paste/tweak from a few different sites
- User:Niteowlneils/EntertainmentExpansions
I was not the primary contributor, but did the bulk of the editing to overcome objections to featured articles Seattle, Washington and San Jose, California. I also did a lot of work to help Dawson's Creek become an FA.

[edit] Other
I've also played around with a potential River infobox at:
I am also proud of my contributions to the Tutorial.
Most all these are stubs, as a) I get bored easily, and b) many are about topics that I don't have a strong feeling for, especially those that I created to save the valid topic title from being VfD'd away just because they started with junk content. (I also accidentally did some linkage cleanup as IP 24.7.121.9)
I also ended a three-week old edit war by recasting a sentence to avoid the "controversial" words (since the participants seem to have it out for each other, they started a new edit war about a week later over some other part of the article).
For a while I spent most of my time on RC patrol, but recently have focused on New Pages patrol.
