I’ve done my best to pull together a list of my major contributions; I’ve based it on the results from the toolserver, specifically 2 of Soxred’s tools which return lists of pages created and articles most edited for a user:

1. Most edited articles:

   • Marudubshinki
   • Rhwawn
   • Gwern

2. Articles created:

   • Marudubshinki
   • Rhwawn
   • Gwern

Those lists are unreliable, however. They are incomplete; created may be misleading, as I make many redirects which may be turned into an actual article by a later user (for example, I am credited with creating the valuable computer science article green threads when all I did was redirect that name to the main article on threads). The tool tries to filter out redirects, but may be wrong. The most-edited listings are also misleading in the sense that a great many edits on a page may simply be undoing vandalism; I do not list René Descartes below because my dozens of edits there are just reverts and I do not feel reverts are a particularly valuable service. Article writing is. Some such articles are listed where I have watched them for many years and feel that my supervision has risen to the level of a major contribution. Conversely, sometimes I have written articles offline and then added them as single giant edits with a few followup edits to fix formatting errors; such articles would not show up very highly on the most-edited list.

I am certain that some of the following entries are erroneous, and I have omitted some articles that should be included. But I have done what I can. I am especially proud of the highlighted articles such as the Medici bank, Brethren of Purity articles, and the Fujiwara no Teika article.
