Taiwanese indigenous peoples: My first ever Wikipedia edit was on its talk page [6 August 2006]. It was also my first WP:FA, co-nom with Maowang.

I briefly worked with WikiProject Ethnic groups, and the first Wikipedian I ever looked up to, Jmabel.

Another early collaboration that I deeply enjoyed was Wikipedia:WikiProject Mesoamerica with several editors, including CJLL Wright and Maunus.

I was a part of the "Golden Age" of Wikipedia:Featured articles as a protégé of SandyGeorgia. I may have been a bit of a pest, but I upheld high standards for referencing. Crusty old relevant essay: V-challenged.

I created many lists of Endangered languages. I dunno how many. A dozen? Maybe more? A typical example: List of endangered languages in Asia. Collaborated with several editors, esp. Kwamikagami.

My second WP:FA, Georg Cantor, was a collaboration with the Wikipedian whose friendship meant the most to me, Geometry guy. Also with Cronholm144.

Wikipedia:WikiProject Three Kingdoms!! And my third WP:FA, Battle of Red Cliffs, in collaboration with Wikiproject members Underbar dk & The Cake is a Lie.

My fourth WP:FA, Scattered disc, was a collaboration with Serendipodous.

Funerary art earned the Four Award. Collaboration with Johnbod.

Among all my efforts, I'm proudest by far of the rather short article on Children of the Stars. a 2007 documentary about children with autism (Chinese: 自閉症) in the People's Republic of China. The documentary focuses on the Beijing Stars and Rain Teaching Institute (北京星星雨教育研究所). I created it on 30 August & finished it about 12 September 2010‎.

Bengal famine of 1943. Well, what can I say. Literally years of work. At least 5,750 edits. Rewritten from top to bottom, from crap to... well, it's a WP:GA, anyhow. A glowing endorsement by an off-wiki topic domain expert, Paul R. Greenough. Four attempts at WP:FA, each of which was... alas... more absurd than its predecessor. On the bright side, special thanks to those who helped in later stages, esp. Brianboulton and Fowler&fowler.

I'm really very proud of Black Monday (1987), too. It was complete crap. I brought it up to respectability.

I used to create images. This one has been awarded more than 800 times across 17 Wikis (by my perhaps inaccurate count).

This one has been awarded about 550 times across 11 Wikis.

This one has been awarded about 350 times across 8 Wikis.

...and this one about 100 times across 3 Wikis.

List of American Civil War battles. Massive revision, in collaboration with Mojoworker.

I don't exactly remember where I met Ceoil. Perhaps it was at Oviri, but this Van Gogh image looks much better.

I don't exactly remember where I met Alan W, but perhaps it was at To Autumn.

My sixth WP:FA, Battle of Malvern Hill, was a collaboration with Ceradon.
