Principles

This user believes all assertions need
citations from reliable sources.

This user believes that edits need
useful summaries.

This user believes in maintaining
citation integrity.

This editor is a **Labutnum** and is entitled to display this **Book of Knowledge with Coffee Cup Stain, Cigarette Burn, Chewed Broken Pencil, and Sticky Note**.

Looking back at more than ten years of participation on Wikipedia, I realize that I'm not a particularly prolific editor, and certainly not a well known one. I spent most of my time buzzing from article to article as the spirit moved me. A relatively small amount of them received my sustained attention, and those that did are mostly constructions made by many hands. There is a tiny number of them, though, for which I provided 66–100% authorship and can look back – at least for now – and say, "I made that."

Smaller things

I also created a number of bare-bones stub/start pages, like Girls Get Busy, The Star of Bethlehem (1912 film), and all of the regional natural parks of France: Brière • Livradois-Forez • Lorraine • Morvan • Normandie-Maine • Orient Forest • Pilat • Vercors •
Some redirects are my contributions, like physiatry and Bust.com, as are a few disambiguation pages, like Pennybacker and Oeuvre. By far my most rewarding creation among these was Cheerleader (disambiguation), not because it's great by itself but because it allowed me to remove this boorish hatnote.

I've designed about a dozen userboxes, including the mildly popular "Edit Summaries" box seen above. I still believe that useful summaries are essential to being a responsible Wikipedian, even though I don't always follow my own maxim anymore. In recent times, my physical disability has increased such that I now usually leave very brief summaries and often rely on the all-purpose "c/e". Regrettable but true.

-Looking back at more than ten years of participation on Wikipedia, I realize that I'm not a particularly prolific editor, and certainly not a well known one. I spent most of my time buzzing from article to article as the spirit moved me. A relatively small amount of them received my sustained attention, and those that did are mostly constructions made by many hands. There is a tiny number of them, though, for which I provided 80–100% authorship and can look back – at least for now – and say, "I made that."
