This isn't a braglist so much as a travelogue — a way of remembering a few of the more interesting or unusual articles I've worked on. In some cases I've been little more than a traveling gnome, adding a public-domain image or citing a few facts; in others, I've completely rewritten the article.

Est omnino difficile iudicare inclusionis meritum cuiusdam rei in encyclopædia cum ratio sciendi quid populi referat incerta sit, sed nihilominus aliquid encyclopædiam dedecet

It is generally difficult to judge the worthiness of a particular topic for inclusion in an encyclopedia considering that there is no certain way to know what interests people, but some topics nevertheless are not fit for an encyclopedia.

This motto reflects the desire of these Wikipedians to be reluctant, but not entirely unwilling, to remove articles from Wikipedia.
