[edit] My Wikipedia chronology

I lost count of my overall edit total sometime in early October 2006, when I tagged a ton of obsolete shields for deletion, inflating my edit total and subsequently deflating it when the shields were deleted. To stabilize my edit count, I will count only main namespace edits from this point on.
Date Event
3/23/2006 Joined Wikipedia with the intent to make an article on the Rochester and Southern Railroad.
3/23/2006 Edit #1. Began the Rochester and Southern Railroad article.
4/16/2006 Edit #50. Made a couple wikilinks boldfaced on New York State Route 590. Trivial.
5/6/2006 I sign on with WP:NYSR, thrusting myself into the monster known as Wikipedia highway editing.
5/7/2006 Edit #100. Cleaned up New York State Route 990V to then-WP:NYSR standards.
6/28/2006 Signed on with WP:IH, my first foray into highway editing outside of New York.
7/14/2006 Joined WP:USH after contributing to U.S. Route 219 and U.S. Route 20A. Ironically, I have not worked significantly on a U.S. route article since.
7/15/2006 After realizing that WP:PASH was in disarray, I signed onto the project with the intent of jump-starting it.
7/16/2006 Edit #500. Switched Vermont Route 100's infobox from the now-deleted Infobox route to Infobox road.
7/23/2006 Signed on with the then-new WP:MSHP. Because of other commitments at other projects, I have yet to do any work at WP:MSHP.
7/25/2006 After discussing article names with a few other editors, I founded WP:VR. This will be my main project once all of the NYSR articles are cleaned up.
7/26/2006 By this point, I was already a member of 5 projects. What did all of them have in common? They were subprojects of WP:USRD. As such, it was only logical that I signed onto WP:USRD.
7/29/2006 Edit #1000. Fixed a header and a template parameter on New York State Route 9A. Another negligible edit.
8/5/2006 WP:SRNC, Wikipedia's version of Hell's Kitchen, begins, with me in the middle of midst of the poll the whole way.
8/10/2006 Sure, Monroe County doesn't have county routes, but I signed onto WP:NYCR anyway in an effort to standardize county route articles across New York.
8/24/2006 After experiencing a substantial amount of success at WP:PASH, I followed Homefryes west and joined WP:OHSH. Like WP:MSHP, I haven't been able to contribute here due to other commitments elsewhere.
8/29/2006 My passion for maps led me to join the Maps Task Force as a charter member on this date.
9/12/2006 I sign on with the east coast's premier project, WP:NJSCR. WP:NYSR's getting close to its level, though... =)
9/13/2006 Continuing my policy of reaching out to the other projects, I joined WP:NCSH and made SVGs to replace the existing PNGs.
9/16/2006 Looking for some laughs, I sign on with WikiProject Antarctica Highways, a project designed to be a parody of WP:SRNC.
9/19/2006 After fellow WP:PASH editor Myselfalso created WP:HbgAR, I signed on to lend a helping hand.
9/23/2006 Edit #1500. Updated the infobox on U.S. Route 166 and relocated the cleanup tag to the top of the article.
10/1/2006 I close out the voting for part III of WP:SRNC, officially ending the two-month standoff.
10/11/2006 In response to a request by Rschen7754 on WT:USRD, I founded the shields subproject of WP:USRD.
10/12/2006 The interest was there. The editors were there. The project was not. To fill the void, I founded WP:WVR and subsequently made SVGs for every state route.
10/24/2006 Edit #2000. One of a long series of edits on NYSR articles made using AWB, this one on New York State Route 309.
10/28/2006 I transfer some power to Seicer on WP:WVR, becoming co-leader with Seicer. No power struggles here, though. =)
11/12/2006 Edit #2500. Cleaned up New York State Route 328, the final NYSR article that required cleanup, to project standards. Possibly my most notable milestone edit to date.
12/4/2006 Edit #3000. Made minor link and grammatical fixes to Pennsylvania Route 61. Another negligible edit.
Edit #3500. Coming soon.
