User:Clovermoss/Content

I try to write and improve content sometimes because Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. There are people who are better at it than me (I've never written an FA!) but I do try to pitch in where I can be useful. This subpage is dedicated to keeping track of all this since 20,000+ edits can be a bit difficult to navigate.

This user has helped promote 1 good article on Wikipedia.

This user has been a major contributor to 2 articles featured in the Did you know... section on the Main Page.

Articles I've started

GAs

Katherine Hughes (activist) – This was my first ever article and SkyGazer 512 was incredibly helpful with suggestions that eventually lead to it being accepted through AfC. Then, they helped me with a DYK nomination and this article was displayed on the main page on June 24, 2019. This article was promoted to a good article on August 8, 2021. I have a book that is a biography of her life that would be useful for further expansion.

B-class

Creatable World – This is a gender-neutral doll line by Mattel.
Fun Guyz – An article about a business selling illegal drugs
First home savings account – Savings account in Canada

C-class

Moss lawn – I may have started this article, but HLHJ wrote most of the content currently there.
Burgoyne Bridge – This is a bridge in St. Catharines. I hope to find more sources to write about the early history of the bridge someday.

Start class

Compagnons de Saint-Laurent – This is second article that I ever tried to write. It's not as impressive as Katherine Hughes and I made the initial mistake of choosing an article from fr.wikipedia to translate that did not have many inline citations. I've since cut down on the unreferenced portions.
Toponym'elles – A database used in Montreal to improve toponymic representation of women.
Niagara Square (shopping centre) – This was a requested article.
Project Surname – This was formerly a redirect. I noticed that this was a requested article so I tried to create an article. The underlying background is horrifying. I have access to a book that may be useful in further expansion.
Victoria Pickett – An athlete whose name was included as a redlink that I found as part of Women in Red. Other editors have expanded the article since its creation.
Lamb v Benoit – This was a legal case in Quebec involving one of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Morningstar Mill – This was a redlink I noticed in another article. It's also a place I've visited in real life.
Brown Homestead – The oldest building in St. Catharines.
Racial segregation in Canada – An article that did not exist in 2023.
Shickluna Shipyard – A former shipyard in St. Catharines.
Persecution of Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia – My former religion is currently illegal in Russia. It's a very barebones article right now. One day I'll read a book I have about JWs and their perseverance under persecution in this country, which will hopefully lead to a more informative article.
Clover lawn – A lawn trend that I would totally use if I had my own lawn. I wrote this article while I was running for RfA.
Ketchup chip – An article that somehow didn't exist until I wrote it.
Pokémon Bank – the 3DS equivalent to Pokémon Home
St. Catharines Library – Exactly what it sounds like :)
Checkout charity – Fundraising method.

Stubs

Some people dislike the creation of stubs as they believe every article should be more fully developed if it exists in mainspace. I do generally try to limit my creation of stubs but I don't think they are useless. When I do write stubs, I do provide some information and I don't write "substubs" that contain a single sentence. That said, I'm conflicted on the existence of these articles and I hope to expand them into something I can feel proud about one day.

Thérèse Cadorette – The first woman recognized by the above database
Niagara Falls Convention Centre
Kid Food – A book about the lack of healthy food given to children. I read it and I remember it being interesting. It goes a bit into the national lunch program of the US, the early history of "kid's menus", advertising and marketing targeting children, etc.
A Girl Like That (novel)
The Beauty of the Moment
Women's Franchise Act
Fairview Cemetery, Niagara Falls
St. George's Anglican Church, St. Catharines
Tanaz Bhathena
Joie de vivre (album) – Translated from fr.wikipedia, created from a redirect
As a Woman
Hunted by the Sky
Aftershocks (memoir)
Jellyfish Barge
Sadie (novel)
St. Catharines Armoury
Oakes Park, Niagara Falls

2019 in American music – I've made 50+ edits to this list/article, adding citations to the Deaths section to verify that those listed are actually dead. If I recall correctly, everyone was, but I did fix a few dates of death that were wrong.
PC Optimum – The first article that I consider myself to have made significant contributions to. I learned a lot about the basics of Wikipedia editing by citing sources and eventually removing a tag on the article.
