Articles I have created or destubbed.

* indicates articles saved from some deletion process (WP:CSD, WP:PROD, WP:AFD). I wouldn't really call myself an inclusionist, I just hang around Category:Candidates for speedy deletion because plenty of times, stuff gets listed there simply because it doesn't have much coverage in English; I like the challenge of trying to finding sources for stuff in languages I don't read very well.
