This is my first significant one.

I took 5 pictures and stitched them into this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Panorama_cropped.png) panorama using Hugin and Kolourpaint, and contributed it to this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suomenlinna) wikipedia article.



and you? :)

Lots of miscellaneous stuff.

I have made a lot of major revisions to the article on Alien Arena.

I also started the article on trickjumps. I still can't believe that article didn't already exist.

i created an article for a game that was nominated for deletion twice by people who think that mods for video games is not notable.

The worst part about wikipedia is the people who are over zealous about everything. its a ENCYCLOPEDIA, it should have articles a bunch of random stuff.

Mr. Corgi's (aka my) contributions:

24 Nov 2007 - Edited the article on actor Mahershalalhashbaz Ali and omitted a part that said he was also the rapper known as "Prince Ali."

26 Mar 2008 - Removed vandailism from the "Resident Evil (film)" article.

31 Mar 2008 - Edited the article on the book "The Stand" because it claimed that May, Oklahoma was a fictional city.

13 Apr 2008 - Fixed a captialization error in the "Airman's Creed" article.

28 Apr 2008 - Fixed a spelling error in the "Coca-Cola Zero" article as well as a capitalization error.

4 Jun 2008 - Edited the article for "The Matrix Reloaded" because the link it provided for the character of Trinity did not go to the article about the character, but to the article about trinity in general.

Just some random spelling errors I've come across (a bit OCD here).

I've fixed some broken links, typos and formatting issues and I've also added one article (album from a small band). I've also donated once :)

I fix typos and spelling mistakes if I come across them when reading an article. I added proper stub tags to a few hundred articles. I also helped design a few major pages in the Wikipedia namespace, and helped in a couple of large articles. Sorry for my vagueness. :)

The content of this one is mine:

MisfitI38, wikified it, & I've added some more to it since. Though not for some time.

thank you metalhellsangel and hansdown -- it was a once in a great while opportunity. the partially frozen-over baltic, the sun with that whispy cloud thingie, my buddies dad looking awkward, the hot tour guide on the far left who rejected my advances...

:P

camera was some cheap-o digital cannon from like 3 years ago. no tripod, hence the horizon curving like that.

Added the article (and have worked on many revisions to) Sony CISC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_CISC), and have edited other various articles on-and-off.

WikiGnome (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GNOME) stuff, usually... I'm innocently reading along until I see some typo or bad grammar that pisses me off, and then I'm compelled to edit the article to fix it! :evil:

I used to get bored and go through fixing links to disambiguation pages, but I don't find the time for that now. :(

I didn't edit anything major on Wikipedia, but I did fix a number of spelling errors and other mistakes and helped to re-phrase some pages, mainly on the Dutch Wikipedia.

Yes, I have contributed some, but I have found it too difficult to write my own articles. Here it is (http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Bidrag/Khelben).

Just a lot of medium to large contributions, i hate seeing a page without an infobox so that triggered a lot of cleanups. I created the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Lovin'_Toolkit page. :)

I contributed by writing this article: http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flodp%C3%A4rlmussla

Granted, some minor things have been edited by others, but I wrote 95% of whats on there. I also contributed with all the drawn pictures, as well as most of the photographs.

I probably made a dozen contributions (don't care enough to check right now), all of which are minor edits.

I've done some vandalism, other than that, I've contributed to the ReactOS article at times, and put the notability/one source/etc. templates on ReactOS/Spri/etc.

I've added to some lists here and there, reverted some biased content, and etc.

Lol, interestingly enough I updated a few of the "High Five's" the Todd uses in the TV Show Scrubs. (I was looking at wikipedia while watching Scrubs...what can I say.)

Although that is now defunct because Todds wiki page is now changed. =(

Mostly, the links at the bottom of the people are useful for people tracing their ancestry. I think everybody should do a piece about their local area and its history.

Lots of people have edited the page since, it's interesting to see what people do with it.
