From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a full list of articles and lists where I feel I've made significant contributions and improvements. Most often, this involves either taking an article from stub to B class or above, or taking an article that is in bad shape and giving it a major overhaul to bring it in line with applicable the applicable MOS, expand referencing, and do as much work as I can to try to bring it up in quality. Most of the time, these will either be items I have (or planned to) taken to FA/FL class, or where the information just isn't available, to B or GA class. A few are article "rescues" where it was an article not in my usual area that I somehow stumbled on and decided to give it a rapid fire bit of love.

Meerkat Manor - I've put in a ridiculous amount of time on this article, but after months of work that include creating episode and character lists, giving the main major overhauling, hours upon hours of research, and fighting with young enthusiastic fans, it became my first Featured Article! I may try for featured topic with this one as I continue working with it and its related articles

Trinity Blood - taken from very bad shape to clean up and bring into line with the Anime and Manga MOS. As the novels and manga are released, I continue working on expanding/updating.

Blood+ - did a massive clean up the main article, including adding references, applying MOS, adding missing info. It is now up to B class. I am still continuing to work on this as I add manga/novel info as the volumes are released, and work on production and reception information

Wolf's Rain - again, lots of clean up, added refs, adding some main sections including my first reception section. Currently B class but a lack of production details keeps me from taking it for possible GA and/or FA.

  • List of Wolf's Rain characters - created, but still very much a WIP, in need of clean up, referencing, etc.
  • List of Wolf's Rain episodes - started clean up on December 8, to add a proper lead, sources, episode summaries, and release information. Plan to go for FL after I get in the last eight episode summaries.

Tokyo Mew Mew - insanely massive clean up the main article, including adding references, applying MOS, adding missing info, killing off a ton of excessive splits, etc. It is now up to B class and working to get it ready for peer review and hopeful GA or FA.

  • List of Tokyo Mew Mew characters - my first extensive character list overhaul, and I do mean extensive. Massive referencing done, including the very slow, painful process of merging in the individual character articles one by one, by consensus. Its been hard work, even sent me into a wikibonk state, but its also very rewarding. I look forward to taking this one to FLC after the last merges are done, and a peer review and copy editing completed.
  • List of Tokyo Mew Mew chapters - created and filled out. Almost ready for FLC, just need the last two summaries, peer review, and copy editing
  • List of Tokyo Mew Mew episodes - massive lead overhaul, cleaned up the format, and added refs; a lot of episode summaries missing, though, and with it unlicensed, watching to fix is difficult

Post Oak Mall - When I first came across it, I sent it for AfD, but it was speedily kept due to its size. Not wanting such hideous thing embarrassing our fair town, I gave it a serious overhaul and expansion. It is now a pretty decent, fairly well sourced article that complies, as best as it can, with the few MOS guidelines on malls. Future plans include trying to expand the history and continuing to update as appropriate for major changes. Maybe a GA candidate one day.

U-Drop Inn - This article was originally created on February 20, 2008 as a NPOV attack article. It came to my attention on March 21 after I got involved with the Shamrock, Texas article through a request on the Texas Projects page about some NPOV issues. After discussing the situation, another editor cleared it of all pure BS and NPOV stuff shortly after midnight on March 22[1]. That evening, I spent three hours giving the article a much needed overhaul to actual discuss this beautiful buildings rich history, near demise, and current claims to fame. I submitted it as a Did You Know and have asked the Historical project to reassess it with its rating.
