User:Bearian/Contributions
This is a list of my accomplishments in terms of editing contributions. Many of these are not, by themselves "Good" or "Featured" articles, but that is O.K. by me. My contributions to these articles and stubs do not imply ownership or copyright of any work.
- These do not include innumerable redirects.
- I am most proud of the articles in bold, for which I rescued from deletion. 45 of these articles were rescued in the November 2024 citation drive.
