New articles (not related to education or schools)
Articles I've written, or articles to which I've somehow contributed significantly:
| Article | Date | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Blue Hawk Mine | October 10 2005 | My first article. Needs some re-work now that I know more about Wikipedia and how things should be written. |
| IBM Open Class | January 13 2006 | Computer language stub. Actually would be nice if we had a "computer libraries" section, since it isn't really a language. |
| Intelligent Medical Imaging, Inc | January 25 2006 | I have some of their Chapter 11 paperwork here at the house, I need to look through it all and see how the article could be updated. |
| William R. Bennett Bridge | February 8 2006 | An on-going article on the new Okanagan Lake bridge under construction. |
| Mount Boucherie | May 14, 2006 | Spent quite a lot of time at the library researching the content for this article. |

I re-wrote the WP:EiC project in mid 2006, and my focus is usually on articles related to this wikiproject. As part of EiC, I've written, re-written, or modified hundreds of school-related articles. I no longer track all of the articles I've touched, but instead will list some of the ones I use as reference when working on new articles:
| Article | Notes |
|---|---|
| Conseil scolaire francophone de la Colombie-Britannique | Example of BC school board (BC-specific school district template). |
| All examples of ON school board which uses the generic Canadian school district template. | |
| Toronto District School Board | I re-wrote this to bring it up to WP:EiC standards, but 1 problem remains -- what do we do with the 500+ schools that are in this district? |
| Peel District School Board | Again, this one was brought up to standards, and I tried one possible solution to dealing with school boards that has hundreds of schools. However, this is borderline unmaintainable. I still think navbars with individual articles will work out better. |
| Delhi Public School (Ontario) | Infobox stub that shows it is possible to use references within the infobox. All of my infobox stubs from that point on uses the style I first tried out with this article. |
Works in progress
| Article | Notes |
|---|---|
| User:S charette/Lakeview Irrigation District (or perhaps User:S charette/Rose Valley Dam) | Userspace; just notes for now on a future article. |
| Conseil des écoles publiques de l'Est de l'Ontario | ON school board stub that someone else started which I need to bring up to standard |
| Upper Grand District School Board | I'd like to get this article up to standard before school starts in September and we're dealing with daily vandalism from User:64.235.102.2. |
