This page is a summary of some of the contributions I have made to Misplaced Pages, including areas I've worked on, and a description of some of the pages I have made major contributions towards. Many of the summaries need dates, and the list is not yet complete. I need to survey my contributions log to update this area. This page is a partial summary of article contributions I have made to Misplaced Pages (it includes all article creations, but not all work done on other articles). Earlier versions of this page () included contributions to other areas of Misplaced Pages, but this was scrapped in a revamp of this page in September 2012.


The articles I have enjoyed writing most include ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ] and ]. The best examples of my article work include ], ], ], and ].
== Contributions ==


Like all articles in Misplaced Pages, many of the articles listed here have been worked on by others and still require a lot of additional work to expand and improve them.
*First edit as ] was January 2005.
*Log of contributions is ].
*Hallelujah. A working edit count tool has reappeared (October 2006): .


==New approach== ==Articles created==
The ones without a dated initial version link have not been annotated yet. Some were articles created from a pre-existing redirect.

A few of the above articles (at least three, but probably not much more than that) were created from text taken from pre-existing articles. These are the ones with an initial edit summary referring to the article the text came from. Some examples are and . Another example is where pre-existing article content was merged, such as at .

==Disambiguation pages created==
===Types===
Some may have been created from existing pages after a move (see following section). This section also includes "name" pages that help to disambiguate those with the same surname (useful if you only have surname and initials). These are included here because there is sometimes overlap between name pages and disambiguation pages (e.g. when a name page includes a non-name entry).
There are several standard types of actions that I have done many times. These include:

== First article ==

Spotted a missing article in ], and decided to add ]. Unfortunately I appear to have just missed out on the honour of creating the 1,000,000th article...

== Second article ==

] might be considered a better attempt at an article, except for the fact that I <s>nicked</s>... translated it from the German Misplaced Pages.

== Creating an article from a disambiguation page ==

This editing history summary concerns work I did on ]. This started when I realised that Ptolemaic redirected to ], as seen (27/09/2003). This rang a warning bell in my mind, as I realised that many people would link Ptolemiac in articles referring to ], the famous astronomer of the 2nd century AD, not the Egyptian ruling dynasty (of Macedonian origin) of the 3rd to 1st centuries BC. Clicking on "What links here" confirmed my fears. I eventually got round to tidying up those links and redid ] as a disambiguation page (24/03/2006). While changing those links, I had got interested in the history of the Ptolemies, and the confusing tangle of Ptolemies in the Ptolemaic dynasty. I then gradually started tidying up the disambiguation page by adding descriptions to help people find the Ptolemy they needed. Previously, a reader had to click back and forth between different Ptolemies, and try and mentally keep track of where and when these Ptolemies existed. I also expanded the list and organised it into mostly historical sections. Over the course of a few days, Ptolemy (disambiguation) went from (25/03/2006) to (28/02/2006). During the course of this work I had been delving deeper and deeper into the history of the Ptolemies (see for 'The House of Ptolemy' by Edwyn Bevan, an enthralling history of the Ptolemies). At some point I also tidied up the disambiguation page at ].

The reorganisation of Ptolemy (disambiguation) into historical sections had made me realise that there was a narrative thread here, one that spanned over 2000 years of history. This focused my interest on the etymology of the name Ptolemy, to add to the history of the people bearing the name, and how the name has come to be used in today's world. This accounts for the addition of the etymological section ranging across several languages. By the time of this (29/03/2006), my earlier fears that the page was no longer a disambiguation page were well and truly confirmed!

At this point, I initiated discussions at various places in Misplaced Pages, to add to the discussions I had already started at places like the Help Desk and the Reference Desk. Here, I provide links to some of these discussions (some discussions may have since been archived, and talk page discussions have not been refactored):

*] - appeal for more examples of Ptolemies.

*] - asking about the etymology.

*] - asking for advice on what to do with Ptolemy (disambiguation), which was getting out of control. No authoritative advice, but suggestions led me to look at similar disambiguation pages.

*] - another Help Desk request for advice after looking at other name disambiguation pages. Response led me to the disambiguation Manual of Style.

*] - repeat of question from the Help Desk, posted at the Wikiproject Biography talk page - no response as of 29/03/2006.

*] - repeat of question from the Help Desk, posted at the talk page for the category for ambiguous human names. Advice there confirmed my thought that ] should be reduced back to an organised list, after moving material to ]. Example of how to do this split was given for ], which was split off from ].

*] - ] points out that Ptolemy (disambiguation) includes more information that is needed.

*] - page history summaries, and discussions, on the talk page for Ptolemy (disambiguation).

I then spent some time browsing through the ], and the talk pages there and at ]. I then posted this summary at the Ptolemy (disambiguation) talk page. I intend to continue the current discussions and, if needed, start discussions at the Misplaced Pages Disambiguation talk page. Eventually, after taking advice and discussing the best way to organise the material, the split to ] will take place.

Links to new discussions will also be added here.

==1356 Basel earthquake==
Requested a translation from the French Misplaced Pages, and ] was the result. I also succeeded in nominating this for ] (5th January 2006).

==Serge Voronoff==
Greatly expanded the ] article. The subject has piqued my interest, so I may try to get this to ] one day, with ] first.

Latest revision as of 02:18, 31 December 2023

This page is a partial summary of article contributions I have made to Misplaced Pages (it includes all article creations, but not all work done on other articles). Earlier versions of this page (example) included contributions to other areas of Misplaced Pages, but this was scrapped in a revamp of this page in September 2012.

The articles I have enjoyed writing most include For Services Rendered, List of CWGC WWI memorials to the missing in Belgium and France, List of FIDE chess world number ones, Annales de chimie et de physique, Lister Medal, Frieze of Parnassus, The Muse in Arms, Leroy Chang and Joint Declaration of Pope Francis and Patriarch Kirill. The best examples of my article work include The King's Pilgrimage, Victor Negus, Charles Illingworth, and Memorial tablets to the British Empire dead of the First World War.

Like all articles in Misplaced Pages, many of the articles listed here have been worked on by others and still require a lot of additional work to expand and improve them.

These are the ones with an initial edit summary referring to the article the text came from. Some examples are The Lord of the Rings (1979 radio series) and List of Fox films before 1940. Another example is where pre-existing article content was merged, such as at List of Númenóreans. Another example is Adolf Gaston Eugen Fick.

Disambiguation pages created

Some may have been created from existing pages after a move (see following section). This section also includes "name" pages that help to disambiguate those with the same surname (useful if you only have surname and initials). These are included here because there is sometimes overlap between name pages and disambiguation pages (e.g. when a name page includes a non-name entry).

...or replacing existing pages

Redirects created

Quite a lot... (1050 as of September 2012)

... and later turned into articles

Usually turned into articles by others (not always correctly, in my opinion, though in other cases they are good examples of a redirect with possibilities being turned into an article).

Translations requested

Some done through Misplaced Pages:Translation, others by other requests. Dates and early versions below refer not to the initial creation, but some early stage reached in the translation and editing work. In all these cases, the article work was done by others following requests I had made.

Other notes on article work

Various notes on some articles created or worked on at various points. Earlier versions of this listing (see page history) included notes that, although of interest to some, I've since reduced as the focus should be on the articles and article work; many of the older notes are outdated and needed rewriting. The work done here ranges from 2006 to 2016.
