'To Do' list for IJBall

edit ·

Television-related articles to take a deeper look at:
- High-definition television in the United States (table needs major overhaul)
- Miniseries
- Burning off
- Hiatus (television)

My original focus on Wikipedia was editing and referencing rail transit-focused articles (which I still do... just not as often now) – I find referencing to be especially relaxing, and rail-focused articles tend to be statistics-based and are therefore less controversial (and, thus, less contentious) than many of the articles on Wikipedia. More recently, I've moved on to other targets for editing, such as Biographies of living persons (esp. television-related), and articles on television shows, occasionally in the context of reviewing.

Article creation

I've created 40 proper articles (i.e. non-redirect, non-disambiguation) so far:

^{† Created as merge (and redirect) of five separate articles in to one complete article; supplemented with some original content.}
^{‡ Article moved to mainspace from draftspace by an editor other than myself, or as part of the WP:AfC process.}

The following 13 articles, while not technically "new articles", were either effectively new articles that were replacing redirects, were essentially new creations replacing a stub article, or were split-outs of new articles from existing articles:

List of North American light rail systems by ridership (rewritten virtually from scratch) (August 2013)
List of Metrovalencia stations (significant rewrite (e.g. created table from scratch)) (August 2015)
List of Vienna U-Bahn stations (replaced redirect with table, using some content from Vienna U-Bahn)) (January 2016)
List of Frankfurt U-Bahn stations (replaced simple list with table, using some content from Liste der Frankfurter U-Bahnhöfe)) (January 2016)
Lab Rats: Elite Force (replaced redirect with article content) (February 2016)
List of USA High episodes (replaced redirect with article content) (May 2016)
List of The Originals characters (article Split-Out^{[Note 1]}) (May 2016)

Cree Cicchino (while I did not originally create it, I did nearly all of the work that went into it) (August 2020)
The Ark (TV series) (this started out as a redirect I created in 2015; it's now been taken over as an article for the 2023 TV series, so I guess I'm on the hook for it!!) (July 2015/December 2022)
