User:Wilhelmina Will/Expansions

The following is a list comprised of articles I did not create, but take credit for expanding or greatly improving.

Articles I've expanded
This list regards articles with other "wiki-mothers" and "wiki-fathers" (see User:Wilhelmina Will/Creations to understand this terminology), which I've played "wiki-nanny" to for any length of time.


 * 1) Iggy Arbuckle - I "took care of" this article for a long time - from August, 2007 to about February 2009 - but after this my working on its development went pretty much dormant. I kept it on my watchlist for a number of years afterward, eventually ceasing to do this as well, though I'm not sure when. To this day, however, I consider this page my official gateway anytime I'm entering Wikipedia.
 * 2) List of students at South Park Elementary - Same as with Iggy Arbuckle, though I stopped watching this page many years prior.
 * 3) List of The Fairly OddParents characters - Although I've never really watched the show, when I saw that this page was up for deletion in early 2008, I did not see any reason for eliminating it, so I decided to step in, help reshape the article and get it up to snap. After it was decided that it would be kept, I still kept it on my watchlist, and added a few bits now and then, for a while afterwards, but I haven't watched this page in ages, now.
 * 4) The Gospel According to the Son - During my DYK ban of Early to Late August, 2008, one of the participants tried to make up for it by creating this article in my honour (it had been listed in my list of articles to consider creating). Though I'm worried this may be sacreligous, I am still flattered that any article would be created especially for me. I felt it was only right that I expand this article further by adding an infobox and an image of one of the book covers.
 * 5) Cretan Owl - Due to an earlier discussion concerning an article on a Pteranodon species which ended up merged into the generic page, I had originally thought, when this suggestion was given on June 3rd, 2008, that since the Cretan Owl was just a species of a genus, and not the genus itself, it did not warrant an article of its own. Apparently the rules were somehow different in this case, however, for another user created the article, and it has never received any trouble over its status. Of course, I regret not knowing it would be alright before someone else accepted the suggestion, but a few months later, I tried for a while to expand the article. However, there was little information available for the animal, but I grabbed what I could, and expanded the text to about twice or one and a half times the amount it was.
 * 6) Manchurochelys - This one was also an AFC article I was sorry I did not get, but decided to expand, at any rate. I managed to expand this one quite well, I believe.
 * 7) List of Who Framed Roger Rabbit characters - I noticed in late summer, 2008, that this article had many flaws in its use of text, so I set about correcting some of it for a few days. I periodically tweaked the content in such manner for a while afterwards, mostly in the Toon Patrol section because they're my favourite characters in the film.
 * 8) Dwardius - (See User:Wilhelmina Will/Rescues for more information) I expanded this article with as much information as I could find on the internet, a few weeks after I'd rescued it from being deleted as a prod. It is still a stub, of course, but it's been quite decently fleshed-out; I can't help but wonder how many other valid taxon articles were deleted as prods in the past for the same reason this one had been tagged, and what they might have amounted to with a little effort... oh well, at least this one got saved.

Deceased expansions
This list regards those articles I took care of, but which were eventually deleted/redirected/ended as an article in some way:


 * 1) Petrie (The Land Before Time) - For a long time, from late 2007 to mid 2008, I kept watch over this article, and did whatever I could to keep it from being merged into the main List of The Land Before Time characters, as it was almost constantly under discussion amongst editors to do. In the middle of July, 2008, it finally was merged in, as even with all the work I did, notability was not sufficiently established on the TLBT character Petrie. In hind-sight I don't mind, since there is a wiki for the series, which can be used for these such purposes.
 * 2) Chomper - The same story as for Petrie (The Land Before Time).
 * 3) Ducky (The Land Before Time) - Again, the same thing happened, although this one I was a little more sorry about, as Ducky is arguably my favourite character in The Land Before Time.
 * 4) Cera (The Land Before Time) - Same as before, and again I was more sorry for this one that for most of the others, as Cera is another one of my favourites.
 * 5) Littlefoot - In my view, you'd think if any of the characters in TLBT qualified for their individual article/s, it would be the central character, Littlefoot. The fact that his page ended up the same way as the others really makes a statement.
 * 6) Spike (The Land Before Time) - This one ended up going the same way as the others before did, although I must admit I did not put as much effort into this one as I had done for the others.
 * 7) Ruby (The Land Before Time) - Out of all of the articles on characters from TLBT, even I felt sure all along that this one would have to be merged at some point. Try as I might, I could not find any useful real-world information on the character, anywhere.
