Only substantial non-Lost-related contribution; because it has a ratings column, it is one of my two favourite episode lists on Wikipedia along with sgeureka's List of Carnivàle episodes
My longest and most famous contribution, as it has become something of an episode article standard, even though it is not as well-written as later articles—but it is longer; Sceptre co-wrote the plot section and Bignole gave an extensive copyedit during the FAC; needs expansion and copyedit
First truly substantial contribution to Wikipedia; needs to be expanded

I first encountered Wikipedia in the spring of 2005 and made my first edit on April 24 by creating an article for Helen roberts (I must have hit "save page" before checking for typos). The article consisted of something along these lines: "Helen P. Roberts lives in Vancouver, where she was born. She has edited Wikipedia and manages a website of her own at …" so it was speedily deleted. I tried again a month later (this time with correct grammar) and actually got a votes for deletion debate. The article was accused of being a "vanity page" and deleted (one user wrote, "I would advise the author to focus on her academic achievements, rather than plans and Wikipedia accomplishments"). On August 13, 2006, an article about a real Helen Roberts was created.
On a different computer with the IP adress 154.20.217.225, I made some well-intentioned edits to various Lost-related articles on April 13, 2006, however most were removed within twenty-four hours. From then on I constantly edited articles primarily of the Lost WikiProject. I registered for an account on June 10 because I thought that an account was needed to vote in deletion debates. I continued to use my "anonymous" account and pretty much ignored "thedemonhog" until December 10, when I switched. I made 1272 edits and I regret those not being attributed to my registered account.
I used to make smaller edits, basically just updating the Lost pages when new episodes aired. Since April 2007 I have been trying to get many of the Lost articles to featured status and am now the top contributor to the Lost WikiProject. I am also a Heroes WikiProject contributor and am responsible for the Project's first featured or good page, List of Heroes episodes.
On November 24, 2007 I was nominated by Epbr123 for adminship, however I only managed to get 69% supporting and was not promoted. People who opposed me said that I would not abuse the tools and would make fair decisions, but do not have enough experience in the Wikipedia namespace.
Although I opposed the merging of Nikki Fernandez and Paulo, I must say you've done a fine job with both the former individual articles and the current merged article. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels you deserve it! •97198talk 04:05, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I was looking for information on Lost's best episodes and was a bit surprised to see how good the articles here are. Digging a bit into the edit histories, your name was everywhere. You have done an awesome job. You really deserve this. --soumtalk 06:04, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
For The Other Woman, et al. If I deserve one for some whimsy copyediting, you surely deserve one of these. I gave you a barnstar back in May '07 for your work on Nikki and Paulo – since then, you've co/written 8 FAs, 4 FLs and 7 GAs. So here's to your ability to breed FAs like rabbits, and the many more to come!:) —97198 (talk) 01:42, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
For all your work on everything to do with Lost, and your multiple GAs and FAs. A great Wikipedian who is not only a great editor, but also a great friend.:) Corn.u.co.pia / Disc.us.sion 02:12, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
