Claim to fame
As can be seen in my New articles, I try to build well-written, heavily referenced articles and on "minor topics" include every reliable source that can be found online. Still there are some pieces I am proud of and need special mentioning; the claim to fame category. Those are listed below in the same style and order I use for the See alsos; Lists first (when suitable) and then from good to less good.

FA and GA nominations

 * Eastern Hills, Bogotá - my first FA nominated article, complete, many new photos of which many of myself, a new animation based on brand new research (paper released in 2017) and extensive, unfortunately did not pass first time for FA.
 * Cesar-Ranchería Basin - sedimentary basin in northern Colombia
 * Cuche Formation - Devonian fossiliferous stratigraphic unit of the Altiplano Cundiboyacense
 * Honda Group, Colombia - Miocene fossiliferous stratigraphic unit of the Upper Magdalena Valley

Other nice articles

 * List of gomphothere fossils in South America‎ - extensive list with maps and bibliography about the gomphothere fossils of South America
 * List of conquistadors in Colombia - lists are very useful to present information and interesting links to other articles and should be set-up in an accessible way; sortable, collapsible and decorated with relevant images. Also this information was not yet presented anywhere online in this neat way
 * Spanish conquest of the Muisca - not present on any other Wikipedia (yet), full of information, many references, the routes of the conquistadors that was previously nowhere described in such detail and the many illustrative images to show this expedition that was by far the heaviest of all Spanish conquests, with a death rate of over 80%
 * Muisca art - very complete, lots of links to earlier articles, extensive bibliography and new photos uploaded to Commons
 * Muisca Confederation - article under expansion and still quite a lot to do, but it's getting better every day and should describe the civilisation of the Muisca, given the name "Confederation" in enough detail to understand the topic
 * Taganga - the result of a wikibreak this year and I was very surprised this touristic hotspot didn't have an article yet
 * Ocetá Páramo - result of wikibreak, many new photos and panoramas added and every piece of information from Google included
 * Women in Muisca society - as most of the historians in the past were men, the topics are written with a certain focus. That is not to blame anyone, it is how it is. For the Muisca there's an exceptional amount of female experts who have contributed greatly on the knowledge of the topic and that should be reflected on Wikipedia. Especially about topics of the late Middle Ages and early Modern Period
 * Muisca bitaeniata - because of the length it can only be classified as "Start-class", although I would be surprised if the article gets expanded greatly. I have used every source available online and even translated old French texts, not my strongest language, and added the image that was shown in the PD-old book written in the 1840s. Just an example on how a small article can be complete, also in the biological section which is one of the best sections of Wikipedia in general with many authors doing great work
