From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is an assortment of edits I consider some of my most important and/or helpful, along with some edit-count milestones. See also the current full list of my contributions which, as of the latest edit of this page (in January 2006), stands at 5,090.
(Note that the list returned by Special:Contributions is not actually "complete", in the sense that past contributions made to a page that has since been deleted will not show up in that list. Therefore, the edit-count milestones in the list below should be considered only approximate, being based on the contributions list at certain specific points in time, and most likely will no longer reflect the positions of the edits in the current contributions list.)
