[edit] Targets on Wikipedia
The following are all my targets on Wikipedia. I think I am highly ambitious. The ones that are struck out are the ones that have already been successfully completed by me.
- To obtain 1000 edits
- To obtain 1500 edits
- To obtain 2000 edits
- To obtain 3000 edits
- To obtain 5000 edits.
- To be in the top 20 list of Wikipedians in the Are You a Wikipediholic Test.
- To obtain at least 1 barnstar.
- To be able to converse in French at an intermediate level, at least.
- To improve Wikipedia's coverage on articles relating to Malaysia.
- To revert vandalism.
- To successfully become an admin.
- To obtain 10000 edits
- To obtain 20 barnstars.
- To expand (and reduce the amount of) stub articles.
- To create featured articles.
Note: Some of my aims such as To revert vandalism does not have an actual value, but if I revert vandalism often, then maybe I will tick it off.
The section below is where I would store all my unfinished and uncompleted work on any article on Wikipedia. I am/was planning to use an entire subpage for this but now, I think a large section in my Sandbox is good and satisfying enough. Should I create the article below? It looks like it might get deleted for being non-notable.

Prior to the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York City, the twin towers of the World Trade Center occupied the second and third positions on the list below. The North Tower stood at 1,368 feet (417 m), while the South was 1,362 feet (415 m) tall. The 1,776 foot (541 m) Freedom Tower, scheduled for construction on the former World Trade Center site, was intended to become the tallest building in the United States upon completion in 2010. The Chicago Spire (previously known as the Fordham Spire) a tower under construction in Chicago, Illinois is also planned for completion in 2010. This tower would be taller than the proposed Freedom Tower with a height of 2,000 feet (610 m).
