User:Incremental Improvements

I've made occasional anonymous minor edits to Wikipedia for a while; these edits have generally been either grammatical fixes or removal of graffiti. I have now decided to create an account and log in before making these minor edits. My current plans are to make only such minor edits, hence my choice of moniker. (Of course, by the time I created an account, someone had already removed the relevant piece of graffiti.)

I like the idea of Wikipedia, but for the foreseeable future, I don't think I'll have the time to write articles, undertake major revisions of articles, or the like. If that's what you're doing, though, I wish you the best of luck!

I saw the aurora borealis during the March 1989 geomagnetic storm, but I was young and foolish and thought I'd get plenty of other chances to see it. So far, that has never been the case.

Here, for fun, is a sortable table of World Cup results by country. It's only useful to put confederations together at a glance.

Comprehensive team results by tournament

 * Legend
 * — Champions
 * — Runners-up
 * — Third place
 * — Fourth place
 * QF — Quarterfinals (1934–1938, 1954–1970, and 1986–present: knockout round of 8)
 * R2 — Round 2 (1974–1978, second group stage, top 8; 1982: second group stage, top 12; 1986–present: knockout round of 16)
 * R1 — Round 1
 * q — Qualified for upcoming tournament
 * — Qualified but withdrew
 * — Did not qualify
 * — Did not enter / Withdrew / Banned / Entry not accepted by FIFA

 * % — Success rate of reaching the World Cup Finals (only counting the times the team entered the tournament)

The team ranking in each tournament is according to FIFA. The rankings, apart from the top four positions (top two in 1930), are not a result of direct competition between the teams; instead, teams eliminated in the same round are ranked by their full results in the tournament. In recent tournaments, FIFA has used the rankings for seedings for the final tournament draw.

For each tournament, the number of teams in each finals tournament (in brackets) are shown.
