The following is a list of articles that I have made a significant contribution to (my babies). This list is not exhaustive, so if you see other pages that I have made a significant contribution to, please either tell me or list it here. I've contributed to hundreds of articles. These are the ones that I am so proud of, I feel like their father ;) The list is in order of how proud I am of them.
Wikipedia Milestones
- 1000th contribution: Finally! I've reached my 1000th contribution (although my actual amount of contributions is fairly higher, since when I flag pages as candidates for speedy deletion, the pages are deleted, and the record of it in my contributions is gone). I have a feeling I will be reaching my next major milestone on Wikipedia before I know it, and the goal I have set for myself to reach by my 1,500th edit is improved community involvement. I currently do my fair share as an individual on Wikipedia, but I am not as involved in community affairs as I would like to be (e.g. committees).
- I'm extremely glad I found Wikipedia, and it's an invaluable resource for helping me learn more, while also contributing to this worldwide pool of knowledge. It really breaks my heart when I hear some people say that Wikipedia is 'not trustworthy,' especially after I have been patrolling the recent changes page for hours. They simply cannot grasp the concept of humans working together collaboratively, which is very disheartening to see.
- I started out on Wikipedia making a few minor changes to articles where I saw fit. When I started out, I have to say I was slightly intimidated, but more incredulous, of the idea of a collaborative encyclopedia. My first article was a stub, and my second one was listed on VfD (as well it should have- it was rife with POV content). Through the months, I've had the joy of seeing Wikipedia's content grow along with my maturity as an editor, as I went from about 3 edits every day I was on Wikipedia (which was far from daily), to 20-50 edits per day (daily). I've found the experience wonderful, enlightening, and joyful- and I'm sure others feel the exact same way about Wikipedia.
- Through my time at Wikipedia, I've been fortunate enough to come across extremely kind and helpful Wikipedians, who sometimes helped me to guide my way through Wikipedia (if it weren't for Evercat, I might still be making duplicate articles!). With the exception of most vandals and trolls, everybody here has been so wonderful- and I'm confident that it will stay that way.
- Thank-you very much for taking the time to read this (slightly long-winded) passage. I realize that I've gone on for quite a bit, but I feel extremely jubilant about making my 1000th contribution to Wikipedia, as this is a clear milestone for me. When my Neopets account got frozen (unfairly: I'm still waiting for their response after about 3 months), Wikipedia soon took over my life for the better. Not only have I learned so much by browsing articles, but Wikipedia proves that there is hope for humans around the world working together in peace.
