Some people seem quite interested in bling, so here it is. As of May 2015, I've made about 53,000 edits. I don't update this page often, so it might be incomplete when you read it.
New articles[edit]
As of May 2015, I've created about 280 articles, though it depends on how you count - a few have been dabs, splits, expansions of redirects, &c. A few of the earliest ones were slightly short of notability; I've learned since then, and they're all bluelinks. The first was EADS Talarion. They're generally "hand-made" - I'm not fond of mass-produced, cookie-cutter articles. Lately, I've spent a lot more time working on neutrality and sourcing problems in existing content, and hence neglecting the long list of articles I'd like to write; when I get spare time I'd like to go on another article-creation spree in a neglected area.
DYK isn't really my primary focus, but I've had a few. The first was for Maersk Triple E Class. Most recently, there was a family of 25:
... that Tekalif-i orfiye, Resm-i çift, Rav akçesi, Nüzül, İspençe, Avariz, Adet-i ağnam, Resm-i arusane, Tuz resmi, Resm-i bennâk, Bedl-i askeri, Gümrük resmi, Sursat, Müskirat resmi, Temettu, Adet-i deştbani, Damga resmi, Resm-i mücerred, Öşür, Ihtisab, Resm-i donum and Tapu resmi were Ottoman taxes, whilst Muafiyet were exemptions, and Emins were tax collectors?
Other stuff[edit]
- I have accounted for a couple of records on Wikipedia:RECORDS - removing very old vandalism & copyvio - but it's certain that somebody else has, at some point, fixed older problems without realising their vintage or without adding it to Wikipedia:RECORDS.
- Although it may not be as prestigious in the usual Wikipedia value-system, I'm quite proud of what little work I've done on dispute resolution, and as an ambassador, and cleaning up the mess left by sockpuppets and pov-pushers.
