This is a list of articles that I started or significantly contributed to. Some of the articles that I did not start, but contributed to were in pretty bad shape when I started and the reason I list them here is that I updated the majority of the content, removed invalid/unreliable sources, added better, reliable sources, and other general copy editing in a significant enough way to improve the article from where it was when I started. I'd like to get them to GA status. I currently have taken one article to GA (The Chosen).
Some of the list articles were splits from existing articles, but others I started from scratch. I wrote a python script to get episodes from epguides.com and put them into a wikimarkup scaffolding to start an episode table. Some of the list articles I started are of that nature.
A large portion of this work is part of my passion for working within the Television and Westerns WikiProjects. The Westerns project was abandoned some time ago, but I worked on reviving it. It still has relatively few members, but since it is mostly curation and organizational in nature, a lot of the necessary work gets picked up by related projects (such as the TV, Film, and Radio projects).
Some of the articles I started are fringe subjects. Having read a lot of academic work on the history of Christian Identity and related topics, I find that there are a lot of editors that miss the important nuances of differences between various labeled organizations. Dealing with hate groups requires understanding the difference in their belief systems. Assuming that every fringe group is the same is what led to tragic outcomes like Ruby Ridge and Waco. It is particularly hard because journalists tend to lump them all into a single bucket as well, which makes things difficult on Wikipedia because this circular sourcing is taken at face value since the source is "reliable". Context is important.
