User:EdJogg/Contributions

''Most of my editing time is spent being a Wikignome, but occasionally my edits are rather more apparent. While Wikipedia is a collaborative process, and a ground-rule is that no-one should claim 'ownership' of any articles, nevertheless it is of encouragement to me to see where I have made a significant contribution to the cause. This page is an unashamed (but incomplete) list of articles to which I am pleased to have made a major contribution in some way.''

='Adopted'= ''Pages created by someone else, but subsequently 'adopted' by User:EdJogg. Typically this means: adding the bulk of the text to the article, or substantially re-writing what's already there, to the extent that the majority of the article (except images) is EdJogg's work.
