User:Delirium/Article list

Here's a list of articles I've started. I originally wrote most of these articles in their entirety, and some are still mostly my work. Some have now been here for upwards of four years, though, so may no longer very closely resemble my original articles.

Some are things I'm actually interested in, and some are just things I stumbled across that needed an article. Some short articles are probably missing from this list, as are ones I forgot about.
