This page is for me to keep notes to myself (as opposed to my sandbox, which I use for testing and content development). As such, I may add stuff to this when logged out; in certain ways, I guess you could view it as a complement to my to do list.

Earliest animanga-related article
Some random, likely prospects - note that many page histories of very early pages do not contain the earliest edits, due to the original use of UseModWiki software (see also UuU and Wikipedia's oldest articles). I also find it hard to believe that the earliest animanga-related article was created in September 2001 (ignoring the missing history issue), considering Wikipedia was founded in January 2001. There are several potential sources external to Wikipedia for very old article revisions that do not exist in the current database; it has been pointed out that Nostalgia Wikipedia has edits not in Wikipedia's database, and it is possible that online archival sites such as Internet Archive may have very old revisions of some articles. In addition, Graham87 seems to specialize in investigating very old page histories and performing page history merges, and he maintains a page of interesting cases in his userspace. There are a number of links to related discussions and BugZilla entries at Village pump (proposals)/Archive 51.


 * Note: Pretty much everything prior to March 2002 needs re-reviewed due to lots of page importation work by Graham87, and also to check for versions(especially under other titles) on nost.WP.

Does hot air rise?
For an essay having absolutely nothing to do with Wikipedia (unless some intelligent, clever, enterprising individual figures out some way to make it apply). Depends on exact context - the statement "hot air rises" is syntactically true, but such truth requires several assumptions as to the intended meaning. Technically, on the other hand, hot air does not *rise*, but is pushed up by colder air.
