I'm really trying to push the mainspace number up now. I hope to be in the 1000 range in a couple months. A few of the many articles I've really worked on are [[Cuba]], [[Marquis de Lafayette]], [[Waves]], [[Eddystone Lighthouse]], [[XYZ Affair]], [[Congressional Page]], [[O.J. Simpson]] and [[HTML table formatting]]. I've also done 25 universities, including [[University of Maryland|UMD]], [[Syracuse University|Syracuse]], [[University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign|Illinois]], [[University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill|UNC]], [[University of Connecticut|UConn]], [[Pennsylvania State University|Penn St.]], [[Johns Hopkins University|Johns Hopkins]], [[Howard University|Howard]] and [[Northern Illinois University|NIU]]. Beyond that I like to spread my edits around - and I also vary it. Sometimes I'll be watching the recent changes and I'll do drastic clean up to a low quality article I see, a lot of other times I'll be clicking "Random page" - and fixing up simple aspects like spelling or wikilinks.

While I have created or radically changed a few pages - as you can see on the right, many of my page edits are minor. I go through each random page and make small changes to encourage consistency - but primarily because if we just create a bunch of articles and then have a lot of crappy ones that are completely out of wack - then we'll turn into Wikipedia. To some extent, this is also why I work in the template space.

I have created a few templates, the ones I'm most prod of are: [[Template:Template]], [[Template:Baseball|Baseball]], [[Template:USState]], [[Template:NBA]], [[Template:NFLDraft]] and [[Template:University|University]] (which I put on 95 articles so far (this requires downloading school logos, getting rgb color codes from those logos and going to school athletic sites and retyping the list of sports)). I also reworded the long, much-hated [[Template:Stub]] and then created with TK a larger redesign towards the goal of standardization. Most of those templates were relatively minor, but the one I'd like to talk about is Citations missing. The goal of that template was to provide a more clean/elegant version of the uncited templates, which in my opinion were over the top. Key differences are viewable through the color scheme - as citations missing keeps the background color of articles, and is separated merely by a border. Also, as far as technical aspects go, Citations missing has a few more links, some of which depend on what page it's put on.

I'm currently working on Roster templates for the [[National Football League]] - there were about 6 of them that I thought would be really easy - since people already had a foundation on the pages - but then I realized that I had to drastically change the style and re-work the rosters - so they actually proved to be more work.
