In 2020, and to a lesser extent in 2021, I spent many hours every day editing Wikipedia. In 2022, however, I made several major life changes that have reduced my activity on Wikipedia down to about one light edit per day. I still try to visit the website every day as a reader, and to check for pings and skim changes to my watchlist, so I am very reachable on here. However, I probably won't notice much unless it's specifically brought to my attention. I really hope that in the medium term I will strike a balance that leaves me time to regularly commit larger edits, since I miss writing and overhauling pages. I'm proud that at one time I was one of the most prolific writers of high-quality biographies on Wikipedia, and I would like very much to return to that pace. So, as both an archive and a piece of self-motivation, I have constructed below a record of the things I did back when I had more time, as well as some hopeful plans for a more flexible future. Oh, and sorry to anyone who tries to look at this page on a smartphone (or other small screen). I know that this page's layout is broken for smaller screens, and one of my plans is to fix that. - Astrophobe (talk) 13:39, 14 March 2024 (UTC)




MY BEST CONTRIBUTIONS:

*Completely rewriting political party , turning it into a GA
*Creating Simonie Michael and bringing it to FA
*Completely rewriting Numerical linear algebra
*Creating Qapik Attagutsiak
*Creating Louise Overacker
*Creating Hanes Walton Jr.
*Creating Michele Clark
*Creating Berge equilibrium
*Creating Gender and politics
*Creating Andriamihaja – it was pretty amazing to find a historical national prime minister without a page in 2021.
*Creating Mont Tremblant Conference - People dragged me to this tourist trap a few times when I was a kid, and many years later I was amazed to learn that it hosted a pretty important conference during WWII on the future of countries in East Asia and the Pacific
*At one time I think I had the most-viewed GA on Wikipedia, but nobody knows why or how. An article I brought to GA received more than 20 million pageviews over the following year. How is that possible, when the very top content pages at Wikipedia:Popular pages are getting maybe 17 million views a year? Nobody actually knows. The page I brought to GA is Skathi (moon), its pageviews are up there with the biggest content pages on this website for some unknown reason, and a phabricator ticket on its suspicious pageviews still remains open.

If you're interested in any of those subjects, I really encourage you to take a look and see what you can improve.
