From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've created about 41 articles - not including simple splits, disambigs, redirects or transwikis. This list is much more reliable than that created by tools, because tools count all those things (even redirects, if they become articles or disambigs later), and also they can overcount or undercount articles which have since moved or changed subject.

Started from scratch

[edit]

Most of these I created as stubs and added to sometime later. Nowadays I prefer to give articles a decent start with a few paragraphs, references, external links and perhaps a picture; only a few I created longer than this. In the early days of Wikipedia, stubs and even substubs (pages consisting of just a single sentence) were acceptable, but the entry barrier for new articles is much higher now. Articles now need to be of good quality from the very start, which is quite hard on Wikipedia newcomers, and is not a good thing for several reasons — see my userpage note on this and related issues.

  1. Herzog Zwei
  2. tenebrescence (now merged to the newer article photochromism)
  3. tugtupite
  4. Phantom mobile device vibration — see my essay on my userpage about how this was deleted three times before the fourth re-creation was kept (under the title phantom ringing). A good example of the entry barrier.
  5. ICO (video game) (moved to Ico)
  6. PaRappa the Rapper 2
  7. Plane (Dungeons & Dragons)
  8. Locathah (deleted, now a redirect to List of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd edition monsters)
  9. Prime Material Plane (now merged to Plane (Dungeons & Dragons))
  10. Inner plane (moved to Inner Plane, then merged to Plane (Dungeons & Dragons))
  11. Lanchester's laws
  12. Bag of holding
  13. Dark Sucker Theory (deleted joke, now at Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense)
  14. The Lord of the Rings (film) (deleted joke, now at Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense)
  15. Ysgard (now merged to Outer Plane)
  16. Cube 2: Hypercube
  17. TSR logos (list of images, now merged to TSR, Inc.)
  18. Boots of speed (deleted, now a redirect to Seven-league boots where it exists in smaller form)
  19. Dragon turtle
  20. Magic of Dungeons & Dragons (moved to Magic in Dungeons & Dragons)
  21. List of Greek mythological creatures
  22. Druid (Dungeons & Dragons)
  23. Starbreeze Studios
  24. Oasis (video game)
  25. Passive dynamics
  26. LiftPort Group
  27. Stranglehold (game)
  28. Twinjet and trijet
  29. Good Operating Practice (now merged to best practice)
  30. Khvanchkara (substub, now merged to Georgian wine)
  31. Shuhari
  32. Illicit Streetwear
  33. Barefoot running
  34. Intellisample
  35. Laser peening
  36. Steeple Rock
  37. Zephyrometer
  38. Transistor aging (I was surprised this didn't exist already, so I created it as a summary linking to specific kinds of degradation)
