articles created
This is intended to be a complete list of all articles created by Doncram, through September 2016. This is based on two runs of Xtools report, with portions confirmed by other approaches. If browsing to see the quality of NRHP articles I have created, please browse enough to see that there is a range of article lengths from short stubs (NRIS-only) to much more substantial. As of 10/1/2016 there are maybe 4,000-5,000 NRHP places articles created by me, cumulatively. About 575 are short stubs (NRIS-only) created originally by me that have not yet been expanded; these are also listed in this worklist for expansions (approximately 175 out of about 750 listed there have been done and stricken out).

Recent (since 5/11/2016)
I created 51 new articles since the May 11, 2016 amendment to the Doncram arbitration case. These are tabulated below in reverse chronological order. 12 of these are new NRHP places articles.

Please see also a table of these sorted by type, with summary (counts by type), available here, which is referenced in the current (10/2016) amendment request.

Older (before 5/11/2016)
The majority are NRHP places articles, but there are also more than 2,000 disambiguation pages (usually NRHP-related) and 500(?) or so architect, builder, or engineer articles (NRHP-related), and some number of non-NRHP-related topics.

About 800 new articles were created by me since the March 12, 2013 arbitration conclusion, up to May 11, 2016. (These are the approximately 30 table rows numbered from -24 to -1 (with some at 1/2's), plus those numbered 1 to 774).

And there were about 8,548 pre-arbitration articles (table rows numbered 775 to 9,322).

''[This table was created partly for a past exercise to estimate the survival vs. deletion rates of articles created by me, hence notes on deletions that are included. Out of 9,350 or so articles created, 6 were eventually deleted by AFD. Two of those 6 have since been restored. Thus the survival rate is .9999 and the deletion rate is about .0001. Other deletions were technical, like to make way for a page move. See User:Doncram/Articles2 for details. To review which individual articles were deleted, sort the following table by "Type" and scan down to "Deleted" ones. My comments indicate what I think happened, like whether a deletion was for technical reason or actually over-ruling my own belief that an article was mainspace-worthy.]''

Selected ones from 2007 and before
Before 2008, I was learning the ropes of Wikipedia, and about historic sites, a topic area which attracted me because it seemed uncontroversial and an easy place to get started. I began to focus on U.S. National Historic Landmark sites, where other editors to cooperate with were active, and where there was good information available on-line. Information was in the form of NHL nomination documents and definitive lists of all the NHL sites, from the National Park Service and from New York State, although accessing most the documents was difficult. At the time there was little available on-line for non-NHL historic sites in the U.S. "Wikitables" were just then available, though primitive at first. I and others began "table-izing" List of NHLs and its linked state-level lists such as List of NHLs in NY. And I and some others began starting articles on the individual New York State NHL sites. I was interested in doing so specifically to ensure that the good sources available would be used right away, heading off poorer articles being created by copy-pasting from inaccurate web sources, often with copyvios, as I had noticed was happening.

A few of the pre-2007 articles I created were:
