My focus has been on creating pages for albums by Andy Williams. When I came to look at what was on Wikipedia, I found a handful of his albums (Lonely Street, The Andy Williams Christmas Album, Merry Christmas, Andy Williams' Greatest Hits, Christmas Present, and Moon River: The Very Best of Andy Williams) that already had pages, and I couldn't wait to start filling in the blanks. After two years of creating album pages, I put together the Andy Williams discography.
Here are the album pages I made, which have the year of the album's release and the date on which the page was posted:
- Andy Williams Sings Rodgers and Hammerstein (1958) - 9 June 2010
- Danny Boy and Other Songs I Love to Sing (1962) - 21 June 2010

I've also been tracking down album covers of his that are in good shape to scan and paste together. When they have two album covers on the front of one CD booklet, as is the case with many of the Williams albums released on CD, the resolution is especially poor.
