R. fiend, I do hereby award you with a Working Man's Barnstar for your work on the deletion policy page, concerning episode guides and lists. It remains a serious issue, but while I created it, I soon gave up on it, fearing lack of consensus. However, you kept going on with long, intelligent discussion to work for a better WikiTomorrow. Whether or not it is accomplished, that deserves mention and awarding. -- Ian Pugh

I'm just a guy with too much free time on my hands. For that reason I've been using this site obsessively since I discovered it a quite few months ago as I searched for the current President pro tempore of the Senate (it was surprisingly hard to find on any other site).

For those who care, these are pages I started or wrote most of:

And some short articles and stubs I began, hoping others will pick them up:

...a bunch of others too, I'm sure.

I've also done major additions or rewrites on:

I've also been attempting to make helpful redirect pages for articles that are otherwise somewhat difficult to find.

I also believe that a site that has several hundred articles on various pokemon should have a page about each of the major characters in the Peanuts comic strip. So I started or contributed to:

Recently I've been active in the Wikipedia:WikiProject Leaders by year. Check it out. It's big.

Other things to do (is it just me or is this list getting longer instead of shorter?):

Oh, and if anyone can furnish photos for any article on this page that would be great.

Here's a proposal I worked on, but I guess is dead in the water:

Prototype for potential merging of Numenor Kings

Here is my basic suggestion for how to handle the Kings of Numenor. Those most important ones retain their pages, while the minor ones get merged as below. I did four of them as a sample; much the same can be done with most of the others (a few would retain their current pages).

The following is a list of twenty-five the Rulers of Númenor, a fictional realm in J.R.R. Tolkien's legendarium:

  1. Elros Tar-Minyatur
  2. Vardamir Nólimon (61 - 471 S.A., r 442 S.A.) "Jewel of Varda" "most learned" Though heir to the Kingship of Númenor he was noted as an exceptional scholar whose only desire was to study, not rule. When Elros died, Vardamir immediately abdicated in favor of his son, Tar-Amandil. He was counted as the second King of Numenor, having nominally ruled for a single day.
  3. Tar-Amandil (S.A. 192 - 603, r. S.A. 442 - 590) "Aman-lover" His father's abdication made Tar-Amandil the second ruling monarch, but Vardamir Nólimon is still counted in the list of Kings. Tar-Amandil abdicated in 590 S.A. and was succeeded by his son:
  4. Tar-Elendil (350 - 751 S.A., r 590 - 740 S.A.) He was considered to be a master of lore and a notable scholar. During his reign Númenoreans began to contact with the Middle-earth more actively. It was in 600 S.A. that Vëantur, the Captain of King's Ships, sailed from Númenor to the Middle-earth for the first time. Through his daughter, Silmariën, Tar-Elendil is direct ancestor to: The Lords of Andúnië, Kings of Gondor, Kings of Arnor, Kings of Rhudaur, Kings of Cardolan, Kings of Arthedain, and Chieftains of the Dúnedain.
  5. Tar-Meneldur Irimon (543 - 942 S.A., r. 740 - 883 S.A.) "Servant of Heaven" He succeeded his father, Tar-Elendil because the rules of succession did not allow women to rule, promoting the principle of agnatic primogeniture, else his sister Silmariën would have ruled. He was succeeded by his son:
  6. Tar-Aldarion Anardil
  7. Tar-Ancalimë
  8. Tar-Anárion
  9. Tar-Súrion
  10. Tar-Telperiën
  11. Tar-Minastir
  12. Tar-Ciryatan
  13. Tar-Atanamir the Great
  14. Tar-Ancalimon
  15. Tar-Telemmaitë
  16. Tar-Vanimeldë
  17. Tar-Alcarin
  18. Tar-Calmacil Ar-Belzager
  19. Tar-Ardamin Ar-Abattarik4
  20. Ar-Adûnakhôr Tar-Herunumen
  21. Ar-Zimrathôn Tar-Hostamir
  22. Ar-Sakalthôr Tar-Falassion
  23. Ar-Gimilzôr Tar-Telemnar
  24. Tar-Palantir Ar-Inziladûn
  25. Ar-Pharazôn the Golden Tar-Calion, last King of Númenor

Not a real thing, I admit, but it almost could be, couldn't it?
