My thoughts on Wikipedia - what I love and what winds me up
> > Here < <

Of which I'm particularly proud...
Firstly, some of my very amateur but passionate photography used on wikipedia. And then...
 * U2 - general and constant maintenance and copyedits. Also, re-write pivotal Unforgettable Fire and Joshua Tree sections. I re-wrote the lead and added all the quote boxes - it took some time to find and choose the most fitting quotes. Of course, i was only part of collaborative effort on this page.
 * Indonesia - a significant player in major collaborative effort and constant maintenance. Write or re-write of geography, ecology, economics and current issues sections.
 * Numerous edits over numerous articles covering the History of Indonesia, including:
 * History of Indonesia - currently re-writing - this is a huge task.
 * Indonesian National Revolution - major rewrite and thorough referencing. Expansion of discussion from a few military campaigns to coverage of total revolution and its wider context.
 * Amir Sjarifuddin - major expansion (x4) and rewrite of this complex character.


 * Indonesian architecture - new article by myself; a fascinating topic on which i couldn't believe there wasn't an earlier article. Hopefully we will continue to see sub articles appear such as Tongkonan and Omo sebua.
 * Governor Phillip Tower - a major expansion.
 * Indonesian killings of 1965-66 - horrific but compelling - how can things go *so* wrong?

Some of the articles I've created...

 * Timeline of the Indonesian National Revolution - needs pics! (so if you were there...)
 * Timeline of Indonesian History - I've already put a lot of work in here, but needs so much more.
 * Santri - November 2006
 * Indonesian architecture - yes, mentioned already
 * United States of Indonesia
 * Omo sebua - a lot more work is needed here including pics and elevation sketches.
 * Tongkonan - amazing aren't they?
 * Pendopo
 * Bung Tomo
 * Tomé Pires - more work to do here. One day I hope to read Suma Oriental.
 * The coming of Islam to Indonesia (1200 to 1600) - a fair bit more work to do here.
 * Pattimura
 * E.U. Pupella
 * Bintang Beer
 * Mount Halimun National Park
 * The Portuguese in Indonesia (1512 to 1850)
