Top 20 25 articles by edit count (as of 14 October 2023)
Over 200 edits
- Listed buildings in Nantwich
– probably my most time-consuming contribution to the project, as I photographed all the publically visible buildings that didn't already have photographs, which took several years to complete. I was planning on a featured list application, and wrote articles on all the buildings where sources merited, then required by the process, but never got around to it
- Peak District
– an early collaboration; I did a lot of work on this before the GA nom and still appear to be its biggest contributor, but didn't participate in the nomination itself
- Crewe Hall
– my second sole-authored GA on a local grade I listed building that is now a hotel but has an interesting history; thorough and fair review by Lampman & Malleus; I felt at the time that the work involved in getting the green plus sign wasn't proportional and haven't nominated anything since, a decision I should probably revisit
Over 100 edits
- Combermere Abbey
– local grade I listed building, not usually open to the public but I got in with a special visit with an otherwise WI group. Now being renovated, needs updating
- Durham (poem)
– I got interested in literary descriptions of cities (see below list) with De laude Cestrie about my then-local city of Chester, and then started writing about this Anglo-Saxon poem, helped by the Wikipedia Library resources and the sources noticeboard
- Thogotovirus
– (not sure how I got into this one?) Always looking for virus articles where I don't end up butting heads with the medical project over appropriate sourcing/focus
- 2018 Équateur province Ebola outbreak
– mainly developed by Ozzie10aaaa
- Acton, Cheshire
– another local village, fascinating history, as it used to be much bigger than Nantwich. Must update this
- Bickerton Hill
– local geo feature and site of many walks when living in Cheshire; took lots of photos some of which appear in Nev1's Maiden Castle, Cheshire
60–100 edits
- Carl Flesch International Violin Competition
– highest new article in update. I wrote a lot from Grove Music Online when the Wikipedia Library expanded to include it. I recall this took a lot of edits because a key source was only available in Google snippets, requiring a lot of diligent crawling line by line.
- Timeline of Cheshire history
– collaboration with Peter I. Vardy & Pixie2000 from WP:Cheshire. Probably needs clearer inclusion criteria
- Bovine papillomavirus
– one of my earliest articles; I nearly did a PhD on them, but since writing this the group has been completely reclassified almost out of existence. Spent a long time trying to photograph a cow with warts, not altogether successfully
- Churche's Mansion
– my first sole-authored GA on a fascinating local grade I listed building; a very kind GA review by Malleus who led me through the process and coaxed me onto reference templates
- Alfred Westou
– associated with Durham poem; would like to get this to B class but ran out of sources, despite a lot of use of the sources noticeboard
- List of literary descriptions of cities (before 1550)
– see Durham poem above
- Marbury, Cheshire
– one of my local villages when I lived in Cheshire
- William Gaskell
– a very early contribution, after working on Elizabeth Gaskell; need to go back to this and add page numbers!
- List of female scientists before the 20th century
– with Women in science below, my first collaboration soon after I joined, though it then included 20th century, now split out
- Tony Minson
– charismatic and memorable university teacher; must check if there's any more material available after his retirement
- W. J. Varley
– I started this because he wrote a local history book, got fascinated and only later found out that a relative of mine actually knew him and his second wife
- Wrenbury-cum-Frith
– my very first article! (Wow, was it bad to start with!) Another of my local villages when I lived in Cheshire. Annoyingly moved from Wrenbury to a title that I think doesn't exist (if anything the CP is "Wrenbury cum Frith") but whatever happened to commonname?
- 31 Madingley Road
– second highest new article in update; first in an abortive series of articles intended to cover listed buildings in Cambridge before I realised quite how hostile some areas of the project appear to be towards grade II listed residential buildings. Now trying to consolidate more sources for my other contemplated articles but the enthusiasm has been damped
- Women in science
– see List of female scientists above
- Listed buildings in Wrenbury cum Frith
– see Wrenbury above
- Francesca Coppa
– I used to know a lot of fan scholars, though I've never met Coppa or Karen Hellekson, created at the same time using Project Muse
