[https://xtools.wmflabs.org/pages/en.wikipedia.org/Kingboyk/0/noredirects/live XTools] - Very nice tool, but has what I consider a to be bug: I am shown as the creator of pages which I created as a redirect and which another editor replaced with an article

==Motorsport==

  • Charles Montier - This came about because I deleted an article about his steam car, but made a note to revisit Montier the person as he appeared to be notable. We got what I consider to be an interesting article out of it.
  • Ferdinand Montier - May as well write about the son at the same time
  • Louise Aitken-Walker - Notable female rally driver. Shocking that she didn't have an article as late as 2007.

=Rewrites/very major edits=

These are articles which I didn't start myself, but where I made major edits almost as though I began the article myself.

==KLF articles==

I've worked on (I think) all of the articles within the scope of WP:KLF and have all of them watchlisted.

Articles by quality

  • The KLF - Major contributor [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/articleinfo/en.wikipedia.org/The_KLF XTools ("added text" is laughably wrong, as User:Delerium undid a page blanking vandalism! :)] - Since delisted
  • All You Need Is Love (the JAMs song) - Major contributor [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/articleinfo/en.wikipedia.org/All_You_Need_Is_Love_(the_JAMs_song) XTools] (also former GA)
  • Fuck the Millennium - Major contributor [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/articleinfo/en.wikipedia.org/Fuck_the_Millennium XTools] (also former GA)
  • 1987 (What the Fuck Is Going On?) - Major contributor [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/articleinfo/en.wikipedia.org/1987%20%28What%20the%20Fuck%20Is%20Going%20On%3F%29 XTools] (also former GA)
  • The Orb - Helped out [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/articleinfo/en.wikipedia.org/The_Orb XTools] (also former GA but no credit claimed)

My user page shows the number of articles I have helped promoted to GA status. I will increment that number each time I help with the promotion of another. I will not decrement it if an article is demoted nor increment it if a demoted article is subsequenly re-promoted. Here is the list of those articles, where I was a or the major contributor, excluding the 3 GA articles which later became FAs:

  • Burn the Bastards [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/articleinfo/en.wikipedia.org/Burn_the_Bastards XTools]
  • Chill Out [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/articleinfo/en.wikipedia.org/Chill_Out_(KLF_album) XTools] - delisted
  • Disco 2000 (band) [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/articleinfo/en.wikipedia.org/Disco_2000_(band) XTools] - delisted on flimsy pretences
  • Doctorin' the Tardis [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/articleinfo/en.wikipedia.org/Doctorin'_the_Tardis XTools] - delisted but probably salvageable. I have done some of the requested work already; however maybe not worth the bother as IGUN re-nom did not go well and even Lazlo's discog was disputed
  • Down Town [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/articleinfo/en.wikipedia.org/Down_Town XTools]
  • It's Grim Up North [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/articleinfo/en.wikipedia.org/It's_Grim_Up_North XTools] - delisted; resubmitted March 2020 but took a beating
  • Justified & Ancient [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/articleinfo/en.wikipedia.org/Justified%20%26%20Ancient XTools] - delisted
  • The KLF discography [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/articleinfo/en.wikipedia.org/The_KLF_discography XTools] - delisted when it was decided it was a list and not eligible, has been through FLCs and got mangled in the process, caused a few arguments, honestly a clusterf*ck and it's going nowhere near FLC again if I can help it! :)
  • K Foundation [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/articleinfo/en.wikipedia.org/K_Foundation XTools]
  • K Foundation art award [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/articleinfo/en.wikipedia.org/K_Foundation_art_award XTools]
  • K Foundation Burn a Million Quid [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/articleinfo/en.wikipedia.org/K_Foundation_Burn_a_Million_Quid XTools]
  • Shag Times [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/articleinfo/en.wikipedia.org/Shag_Times XTools] - delisted
  • What Time Is Love? [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/articleinfo/en.wikipedia.org/What%20Time%20Is%20Love%3F XTools] - delisted
  • Whitney Joins The JAMs [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/articleinfo/en.wikipedia.org/Whitney_Joins_The_JAMs XTools] - delisted, probably salvageable, would be worth pointing out to reviewer this was an underground record (the video cost 20 quid!); however maybe not worth the bother as IGUN re-nom did not go well and even Lazlo's discog was disputed

WP:KLF GAs/former GAs not claimed by me as mostly the work of User:Vinoir:

  • Last Train to Trancentral - delisted
  • The Magnificent (song) - delisted; I could try to repromote it as a tribute to Vinoir and to increment my counter. [A better tribute ti Vinoir, and a more effective and managable use of time would probably be to get the quarter-of-a-million views per year The KLF back to FA status]

("Delisted" with no further comment from me means I have no intention at the current time to rectify/renominate)

Image uploads

A lot of images I uploaded very early in my editing career were album covers and the like and were deleted as part of the great non-free-content purge in the late 2000s. I surveyed my deleted edits in the File namespace in February 2020 and (note to self) propose to not do it again: Unfortunately, consensus and policy appears to rule out the use of album cover images in discographies, unless there is extensive critical commentary, so those deletions were fair even if I don't agree with the policy (Wikipedia will never become the "Encyclopedia of popular music" I hoped it would be, so it doesn't really matter, and we have Discogs.com if we want to see album covers). I'm not so happy with the deterioration of The KLF. Many of the other deleted images were replaced or moved to Commons or simply don't qualify for use here on Wikipedia today.
