Articles I created
XTools - Very nice tool, but has what I consider a to be bug: I am shown as the creator of pages which I created as a redirect and which another editor replaced with an article

The Beatles & related

 * Apple Corps v. Apple Computer - I can't take all the credit, as I simply forked this from an existing article. Some of the content was written by me, however.
 * The Beatles' Christmas Album (moved to The Beatles' Christmas records)
 * Born to Boogie
 * Jeff Jones (music industry executive)
 * Wings tours (merged into List of Paul McCartney concert tours without attribution)

The KLF & related

 * 3 a.m. Eternal
 * 45 (book)
 * 1987: What The Fuck Is Going On? - This article reached Good Article status on 24th April 2006 (my first so to do).  The article became Featured on 23 October 2006
 * All You Need Is Love (The JAMs song) - This article was promoted to Featured Article on 1st October 2006 (the 3rd article I've substantially worked on to get there, but the first which was started by me)
 * Brilliant (band)
 * Disco 2000 (band) This article reached Good Article status on 4 January 2008
 * Down Town This article reached Good Article status on 21 June 2006

 * Welcome to the Dark Ages
 * Whitney Joins The JAMs This article reached Good Article status on 18 June 2006
 * Who Killed The JAMs?
 * Zoo Records

Motorsport

 * Charles Montier - This came about because I deleted an article about his steam car, but made a note to revisit Montier the person as he appeared to be notable. We got what I consider to be an interesting article out of it.
 * Ferdinand Montier - May as well write about the son at the same time
 * Louise Aitken-Walker - Notable female rally driver. Shocking that she didn't have an article as late as 2007.

Places

 * Boddington, Gloucestershire
 * Cleeve School
 * Coombe Hill, Gloucestershire
 * Elmstone Hardwicke
 * Knightsbridge, Gloucestershire
 * Stoke Orchard
 * Tredington, Gloucestershire
 * Tredington Community Primary School - The only article I created to be put onto AFD. It survived, but it's crap. I must dig out an old book about the school and flesh the article out some time. It's over 100 years old and does have some interesting history I think. Currently a redirect
 * Uckington, Gloucestershire
 * Piff's Elm - I have (in 2020) redirected this to Elmstone Hardwicke as it has been tagged as unreference since 2009
 * River Chelt

The Shamen

 * Mr. C
 * Drop (The Shamen album)
 * En Tact
 * In Gorbachev We Trust
 * Phorward
 * The Shamen discography (currently only a demerged list, but I'll colour it up and clean it some time - probably at the same time as sorting my Shamen collection!)

Misc

 * 2007 in science
 * 2008 in science
 * 2009 in science
 * Gloucester Old Spot (breed of pig)
 * The Star (London) (the first daily evening newspaper in the world)

Misc (music)

 * Full On... Mask Hysteria (classic rave album by Altern-8)
 * Jerry Capehart (songwriter)
 * Microsoft Music Central (software)
 * MV Ross Revenge - I'm quite proud to have started the article on this historic radio ship

Major edits
XTools


 * Ambient house
 * Apple Records discography
 * Badfinger
 * The Beatles discography
 * Billy Preston
 * Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine
 * Cheltenham
 * Ebeneezer Goode
 * Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile
 * Fred Opert - I stepped in to help rescue this nearly abandoned draft when on admin duties I noticed that User:Peter.R.Hill was having difficulties. The subject was clearly notable twice over - and could be 2 articles - as a racing driver and a racing team.
 * HM Fort Roughs
 * Let It Be (Beatles album)
 * The Prodigy
 * Radio Caroline
 * Sealand (because of Radio Caroline connection)
 * Simon Warr - Another interesting one, this, as I had never heard of the person before. I processed undeletion of the draft at WP:REFUND; the next morning I read on BBC News that the subject had died. A search revealed numerous sources.
 * Various articles (decrufting, merging, renaming etc) related to Buffy the Vampire Slayer

KLF articles
I've worked on (I think) all of the articles within the scope of WP:KLF and have all of them watchlisted.

Featured articles

 * The KLF - Major contributor XTools ("added text" is laughably wrong, as User:Delerium undid a page blanking vandalism! :) - Since delisted
 * All You Need Is Love (the JAMs song) - Major contributor XTools (also former GA)
 * Fuck the Millennium - Major contributor XTools (also former GA)
 * 1987 (What the Fuck Is Going On?) - Major contributor XTools (also former GA)

Good articles
My user page shows the number of articles I have helped promoted to GA status. I will increment that number each time I help with the promotion of another. I will not decrement it if an article is demoted nor increment it if a demoted article is subsequenly re-promoted. Here is the list of those articles, where I was a or the major contributor, excluding the 3 GA articles which later became FAs:


 * Burn the Bastards XTools
 * Chill Out XTools - delisted
 * Disco 2000 (band) XTools - delisted on flimsy pretences
 * Doctorin' the Tardis XTools - delisted but probably salvageable. I have done some of the requested work already; however maybe not worth the bother as IGUN re-nom did not go well and even Lazlo's discog was disputed
 * Down Town XTools
 * It's Grim Up North XTools - delisted; resubmitted March 2020 but took a beating
 * Justified & Ancient XTools - delisted
 * The KLF discography XTools - delisted when it was decided it was a list and not eligible, has been through FLCs and got mangled in the process, caused a few arguments, honestly a clusterf*ck and it's going nowhere near FLC again if I can help it! :)
 * K Foundation XTools
 * K Foundation art award XTools
 * K Foundation Burn a Million Quid XTools
 * Shag Times XTools - delisted
 * What Time Is Love? XTools - delisted
 * Whitney Joins The JAMs XTools - delisted, probably salvageable, would be worth pointing out to reviewer this was an underground record (the video cost 20 quid!); however maybe not worth the bother as IGUN re-nom did not go well and even Lazlo's discog was disputed

WP:KLF GAs/former GAs not claimed by me as mostly the work of User:Vinoir:
 * Last Train to Trancentral - delisted
 * The Magnificent (song) - delisted; I could try to repromote it as a tribute to Vinoir and to increment my counter. [A better tribute ti Vinoir, and a more effective and managable use of time would probably be to get the quarter-of-a-million views per year The KLF back to FA status]

("Delisted" with no further comment from me means I have no intention at the current time to rectify/renominate)

Did you know?

 * Justified and Ancient was a Did You Know? selection on 3 April 2006
 * Kylie Said To Jason was a Did You Know? selection on 9 October 2006
 * The Magnificent (song) was a Did You Know? selection on 19 March 2007
 * Charles Montier was a Did You Know? selection on 4 April 2020

Categories I created
Includes Category:Apple Corps, Category:The KLF / Category:Jimmy Cauty / Category:Bill Drummond, Category:The Shamen, Category:Cheltenham, Category:Tewkesbury, Category:Parlophone, and subcategories of those; plus Category:John Peel. I have also undertaken major revamps of Category:Gloucestershire and Category:South Gloucestershire. I've now created too many categories to bother listing them.

Project space

 * The Beatles WikiProject was, alas, my idea. I created a great deal of the Project infrastructure (although Lar beat me to subst'ing the Project into place!).
 * I also founded WikiProject The KLF.

Created

 * WikiProject The KLF
 * LibraryOfMu
 * Todo-Named - This seems to have gone, but my concept (and possibly my code - grrr... - GPL...) has been merged into todo
 * Todo-Plain

Major work

 * WikiProject The Beatles
 * WikiProject Biography

Created, but not esoteric

 * Jimmy Cauty

Image uploads
A lot of images I uploaded very early in my editing career were album covers and the like and were deleted as part of the great non-free-content purge in the late 2000s. I surveyed my deleted edits in the File namespace in February 2020 and (note to self) propose to not do it again: Unfortunately, consensus and policy appears to rule out the use of album cover images in discographies, unless there is extensive critical commentary, so those deletions were fair even if I don't agree with the policy (Wikipedia will never become the "Encyclopedia of popular music" I hoped it would be, so it doesn't really matter, and we have Discogs.com if we want to see album covers). I'm not so happy with the deterioration of The KLF. Many of the other deleted images were replaced or moved to Commons or simply don't qualify for use here on Wikipedia today.
