- To obtain 1000 edits
- To obtain 1500 edits
- To obtain 2000 edits
- To obtain 3000 edits
- To obtain 5000 edits.

- To obtain 10 barnstars (pertaining to my contributions to the article namespace).
- To expand (and reduce the amount of) stub articles.
- To create featured articles.
Note: Some of my aims such as To revert vandalism are vague and do not have an actual value, but I will arbitrarily tick them off when I feel the time is right .
The section below is where I would store all my unfinished and uncompleted work on any article on Wikipedia. I am/was planning to use an entire subpage for this but now, I think a large section in my Sandbox is good and satisfying enough. Should I create the article below? It looks like it might get deleted for being non-notable.

Meniti Kaca is a Malay language teenage novel used by Form 1 secondary school students who are living or residing in Selangor, Federal Territory, Perlis or Malacca. It was written by Raja Sabarudin Abdullah, and was published in 1991. The student's edition of this novel, which is the edition used by all the pupils of the respective states, was published in 2000, which was the year when the Government of Malaysia unanimously decided that Malay and English literature is a necessity among secondary school students.
