Articles created are marked *. The list here is in large measure incomplete, as I don't list articles here unless I have worked on them fairly substantially (and remember to add them). I've brought at least 614 articles to Good and Featured Article status as nominator. Another 64 GA/FA articles are included here: these are co-nominated GANs and FACs that I helped on their way, along with a dozen rescues at GAR and FAR.

Agriculture[edit]

A neglected corner. Presumably rural life is rather distant from editors' worlds. Curiously, several of the articles have annual readership in the millions, so it was about time they were edited decently.

AGRICULTURE

Animals[edit]

Groups

These collaborations are part of an attempt to make the ordinary biology articles people frequently visit simple, accurate, and informative. It's no accident they have short familiar names, and describe often quite large taxa: they're what people have heard of.

Individual species

I generally don't create or develop single-species articles. When I do, it may be for a collaboration, or to fill in a redlink. Very occasionally it's a species I particularly enjoy seeing, like Ammophila sabulosa.

Artists[edit]

I created these short articles to provide bluelinks and what little detail that's recorded about these people whose works illustrate many articles. It seemed to me sad that we glanced at their work without even wondering who they were.

Camouflage[edit]

This was one of the first areas I worked on. It was dominated by military patterns, many of which didn't ~~seem to~~ provide any actual cryptic effect. Painting spots on things is the least of it.

Culture[edit]

A bit of a ragbag from a vast jumble sale. White Aethiopians was one of the first things I ever did. Irene Papas sounds even better than she looks. In Whitley Castle I was delighted to find a whole Roman fort that had been overlooked in a quiet and beautiful corner of Northern Britain.

Mathematics and art[edit]

These articles reflect a personal delight in things that are visibly and beautifully mathematical. The Islamic articles go a step further, and here I certainly do think it important that we in the West understand a bit more of the Islamic world's culture and history.

Natural history[edit]

Cleaning symbiosis, as imagined by Henry Scherren, 1906, after Herodotus

It's hard to define what exactly natural history now is, given that it has radically changed its status. Historically, it makes more sense, when naturalists weren't distinguishable from scientists (had the word been in use).

History and philosophy of science[edit]

Basically a dark corner, but a marvellous answer to recentism. Sometimes, as in Modern synthesis, a little reading also shows that what everybody knows just ain't so: it means they've swallowed one side's propaganda hook, line, and sinker.

Beowulf[edit]

The various small articles began from the Tolkien direction and grew from there. Then it became clear that the main article, mature and edited by many hands, wasn't too far from GA status but was languishing for lack of determined attention. It was fun filling in the gaps, including doing some mapping and finding some images as well as writing and finding sources.

Tolkien[edit]

This didn't look like a dark corner, as it had been extensively and lovingly attended ... by fans. Suffice it to say that a lot of articles are now a great deal better-cited, while the unciteable ones aren't around any more. At least 100 new (*) articles (including half-a-dozen phoenixes) and some 200 GAs and FAs, not counting the 4 Tolkien/Beowulf ones.

Yoga[edit]

A corner that should be full of peace and calm, torn by two separate divisions: the meaning of "yoga" (spiritual path or exercise class), and quiet practice versus glitzy commercial pressure. There was quite a cleanup job to be done, which led eventually to over 100 new (or phoenix) articles and at least 54 GAs. Best Sanskrit? ष्वमि प्रोपगन्दानन्द (Swami Propagandananda).
