Selected articles I've worked on:
This isn't a braglist so much as a travelogue — a way of remembering a few of the more interesting or unusual articles I've worked on. In some cases I've been little more than a traveling gnome, adding a public-domain image or citing a few facts; in others, I've completely rewritten the article.

This motto reflects the desire of these Wikipedians to be reluctant, but not entirely unwilling, to remove articles from Wikipedia.
