Here are some ways to keep track of your edits:
 * You can view all your contributions to Wikipedia by clicking "Contributions" (in the top right of this page).
 * The Pageviews tool is a great way of measuring how many people are looking at the page you created/edited. You can even export the data if you'd like it for reports, etc.
