I got ill and pretty much gave up on this. It remains for archival reasons. Dev920 11:08, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

This is an attempt to log everything I do on Wikipedia on a daily basis, without having to trawl through my own contributions, which can be tedious when I've been clearing out stubs, and other such tedious but numerous edits. I won't post my edits to talkpages and userpages unless they're vital to my work that day.

Numbers are a result of me counting: they may be slightly inaccurate.

August 25

Today I:

Closed the Democracy mediation case: user appears to have left Wikipedia.
Edited Jake Gyllenhaal again in response to GA comments: see it here.
Reorganised Pope Benedict XVI in response to FAC comments, including splitting of article on his work at the CDF.
Rearranged Alan Cumming to better accomodate his career (his cause will be taken up once Jake and Benedict are out of the way).
Made one or two other edits, mainly correcting mistakes.

On Wikiquote I:

Wrote the Latter Days article.
Added first film (not trailer) quotes to Snakes on a Plane.

August 15

Today I:

Had a short dispute with Uncle G over my AfD Shi'a view of Ali: apparently if you remove content from a page and copy as is into another, you cannot delete the first article or you are stealing the original editor's work (which seems stupid if all Wikipedia content is free, but there you go). Won't be making that mistake in the future.
Added several references and some new information to CCHS.
