[edit] My contributions

Here's a list of articles I have created or modified substantially. I don't include articles that I've simply cleaned up, but only those for which I consider myself the principal (if not always the original) author. My favorites are listed in bold.

[edit] Style guide, bibliography, watchlist, maintained articles

  • My Style guide describes style decisions I use for my articles, in the hope that others will follow my lead for Civil War articles.
  • My Watchlist is a collection of over 1,700 pointers to Wikipedia Civil War articles that I monitor. (Note that I maintain the watchlist by a semi-manual process and it can therefore be slightly out of date.)
  • My Bibliography keeps track of References I've cited.
  • My maintained articles (see those marked below with [M])
  • My reversion explanation file.
  • My Campaign list is a dump of all the ACW Campaignbox templates, showing all the red links that could be fixed
  • My Awards and barnstars.
  • My editcount (Warning: slow!)
  • My Zazzle page has tee-shirts and coffee mugs based on my Wikipedia maps.

[edit] Battles and campaigns

Some of the battle articles I've written include maps that I've created myself. I used Macromedia Freehand and have shared the source files on my website. On none of the these articles did I do the "battle boxes", although I sometimes correct them if I notice a problem. The ones that are marked with [M] are articles that I "maintain" by posting my name in their Talk pages. This is not done to denote ownership, but to provide a contact point for people with questions about citations, missing material, etc.

[edit] To-do list, battles

I invite anyone to select items from my to-do list and work on them before I get a chance to do so. In those cases where I would like to reserve an article for myself, I have annotated them. Bold items are short-term priorities for me. The ones that are marked simply "needs footnotes" are ones I consider well written articles with solid references, but do not meet current Wikipedia standards for in-line citations. Note that this is not an exhaustive list of all the work needed for Civil War battle articles, but is a list of articles I am interested in creating or improving.

[edit] To-do list, bios

For those that I have annotated "needs footnotes," I am suggesting that these are the more important, more visible articles, whether or not I am the principal author. For shorter articles that have a small number of references, footnotes are good, but lower priority. For the great majority of these, the tiny lead paragraphs need to be expanded to summarize the contents of the article. Bold entries are ones I am prioritizing higher than the others for now.
