Achieving excellence through featured content
Non-article work
editThese four account for my high participation in Wikipedia (vs. article) space and almost all of my deleted edits.
- Featured article candidate (FAC) delegate (these days, we call them Coordinators—a big mistake, but I digress): Nov 2007 to Feb 7, 2012
- Active at Featured article review (FAR) to process through over 500 Featured articles that needed inline citations when inline citations became required in 2006.
- {{FCDW}} Featured content dispatch workshop, which I initiated and oversaw together with Karanacs
- With Gimmetrow and Maralia, installing {{articlehistory}} templates and banners on over 1,500 Featured article existing at the time, to tame talk page clutter.
- Got Wikipedia:Unreviewed featured articles/2020 and Wikipedia:Featured article review/notices given up and running to reinvigorate the moribund Wikipedia:Featured article review
- WP:DCGAR: other than participating in arbcases, the most unpleasant month of my Wiki-life EVER!
Second fastest and most unopposed supports ever garnered at FAC for Tourette syndrome, after the dear Tim Vickers DNA, followed by his Bacteria (see FAC stats tool, long and short FACs, sort by supports. Oh, and Samuel Johnson.)

Principal contributor
editThese are just a few of the articles I have been a principal contributor on:
Medical
edit- Everything at {{Tourette syndrome}}
- Tourette syndrome, with 19 unopposed supports in 24 hours: the fastest ever received at FAC: Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Tourette syndrome. Tourette syndrome followed TimVickers' bacteria and DNA in receiving the fastest amount of unopposed supports ever garnered by a Featured article, and Samuel Johnson for the most supports ever (31). (Query "Long and short FACs" for promoted and sorted by Supports at the FACstats tool.)
- Dementia with Lewy bodies
- Lewy body dementia
- MMR vaccine and autism
- Andrew Wakefield
- Cleanup of walled garden at {{cannabis}} suite of articles in 2013
- Delusional parasitosis
- Autism (mostly written by long-gone Eublides, which fell out of standard since I unwatched and was defeatured), including a through cleanup of the walled garden at user:Eubulides/sandbox/autism with Eublides in 2008
- Asperger syndrome (mostly written by Eubulides, defeatured after Eubulides stopped editing and I unwatched)
- Tuberculosis, defeatured after Tim Vickers ceased active editing
And I helped or mentored as Graham Beards, Ajpolino and Spicy brought the following to featured status:
General

- Early life of Samuel Johnson
- Ima Hogg for fun on April Fools 2008
