[edit] Stuff I've worked on

[edit] DYK articles I wrote or expanded

• ...that heavyweight boxer Joe Baksi recorded nine victories in his first year as a professional, including one over future actor Jack Palance?
  

I didn't know about DYK. I just expanded the article, and discovered someone nominated it. That felt so cool, I went off to expand another article, specifically...

• ...that Alfred Winslow Jones, father of the hedge fund industry, was a sociologist who obtained his idea to start a fund while writing an article for Fortune magazine?

[edit] DYK articles I helped edit

• ...that Gregory S. Martin (pictured) was the first non-Navy officer nominated to head the U.S. Pacific Command, but withdrew after Senator John McCain questioned whether he had "the quality to command"?

Here are my Edits. I was especially proud of finding McCain's quote "Now I question whether you have the quality to command"^[1]' that I then used in the hook.

• ...that the Foedus Cassianum, named after the negotiator, Spurius Cassius, was the first of many foedera signed by Rome?

I made Foedus Cassianum from this, and learned ALOT in the process. Before this article, I thought foedera was a hat.

[edit] DYK articles I nominated

• ...that during the 1936–1939 Arab revolt in Palestine, the Palestine Police Force (fort pictured) was augmented by the Jewish Settlement Police, Jewish Supernumerary Police and the Special Night Squads?

I just liked the picture.

• ... that a revolution in 1688 in the Kingdom of Siam (modernday Thailand) severed virtually all ties with the Western world for nearly two centuries?

Because, no..I didn't know that. Foreign relations were reestablished by King Mongkut, who was the insipration for The King and I
