Okay, let's see. There's the page for:
- comic book editor-and-writer Kim Yale (RIP)
- Jhereg (from the writings of Steven Brust)
- Jr. Gone Wild (I was thinkin' just the other day, was it dumb, was it fun, was it right?)
- The Iron Dream (brrr)
- Thorarinn Gunnarsson (oh, Thorarinn...)
- Quislet (boop beep!)
- the Damage Control comic book ("one of my men just had an origin")
- Triazine and Thiazole, both very pretty little heterocycles
- the Ex Machina comic, the best damn comic about the mayor of New York you'll ever read
- Liberty Belle (well, I didn't *begin* it, but previously it was a stub about a use of the name on Powerpuff Girls, and as such it was up for VfD, so I rewrote it completely)
- Fan 3 (I noticed the redlink when the entry for her first album came up on New Pages and filled it in, okay? Plus the "my geek is better than you" song is kind of nice.)
- Fespaco, which has since been merged into Panafrican Film and Television Festival of Ouagadougou
- the Badger comic (UF-da!)
- the Barra MacNeils (and dammit, all the lyric snippets that I wanted to quote are actually from the Rankin Family)
- Allan Legere, whose stunning escape happened about five blocks from my house
- Karl Silberbauer, who Just Followed Orders
- comics editor Cat Yronwode (for the longest time, I pronounced it "yih-RON-woad")
- the District X article, which I rescued from copyvio hell
- the Super-Skrull, savior of skrullkind
- the Blood Syndicate, who were not a team
- Herb Alpert, of the Tijuana Brass, which I created before registering
- George Lawrence Price, which I made as a subset of the George Price page before DuncHarris split it off into a separate page
- Mike Scioscia - someone created a gibberish article, it got put up on VfD, and I rewrote it into coherence
- poor Bill Mantlo
- Bruno Thériault who, among other things, took care of my piano for several years
- and the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, where he worked
- Ricardo Asch, who did things he shouldn't have. I saw him mentioned in a news story and wanted to check his WP article, but it didn't exist yet.
- Albert Lasker, advertising pioneer and subject of a radio documentary I was listening to
- Vardan Kushnir, who just wanted to sell you V!@gra
- how did I forget about the Struldbrug? My memory must be going
- the giant burrowing frog, which does not say ribbit
- Senapati Bapat and Govind Ballabh Pant were both major figures in the Indian independence movement, neither of whom I'd ever heard of before expanding their uninformative microstubs into full articles
- If Wikipedia was run Hollywood accounting-style, then we could argue that none of these entries had actually been created
- I saw Skipping Towards Gomorrah in a bookstore
- Lecha Dodi... likrat kala... p'nei... shabat... n'ka..bela...
- my glorious gorgeous geek did not have a neurinoma. She had three. Fortunately, they were all removed completely.
- Sometimes I'm curious about a subject which doesn't have a wiki entry yet, so I have to write one myself. That's what I did with Looking for Mr. Goodbar, and Craig Neidorf.
- Alex Steinweiss invented the album cover, which isn't something you'd have thought needed inventing.
- There's actually an interesting little story about how I came to create the George Robert Vincent article, and it's in that article's talk page.
- I was quite surprised that we didn't already have an article on the Battle of the Eclipse. Same for Milton Born With A Tooth
- Heelys were mentioned on the radio. I went to look them up on WP and found nothing.
- I have a (legal) Chumbawamba mp3 that's tagged as coming from the album "The Paintings of Henry de Groux", and I thought... who?
- I really, really, REALLY hate The Lockhorns. So do they.
- Jeremiah Burnham Tainter, who didn't have an article yet, invented the Tainter gate, which did.
- I enjoy the novels of Martha Wells.
- Many of my science fiction novels have cover art by Darrell K. Sweet
- Sometimes I read scientific journals, which is where I found out about Procoptodon.
- L'Trimm likes the cars, the cars that go boom.
- Arseface. Don't look at me like that; he's a notable fictional character.
- The first time I watched Tales for the L33t, I did so on a computer without sound. A mistake on my part.
- I only created Patrick Tse Yin to help out with some stubs.
- Bernie Rhodenbarr isn't real.
- Mojzesz Presburger, on the other hand, most definitely was.
- plus, of course, multiple VfD nominations, redirects, and page-moves.
