Buffy the Vampire Slayer as featured article

I worked on building the 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' into a featured article at Wikipedia:Featured articles, and after it's featured status was accepted, I nominated the article so that it appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page on March 10, 2007 (ten years after the first episode originally aired).

I retired from from my Buffyverse editing in 2007 and in May 2008, the article lost it's featured status.

Articles created

I chose to specialise on Buffyverse topics and created (and maintained) a large number of articles relating to this topic. Articles I had originally created and significantly contributed to, are found in a chart below. I started work in 2005 and retired from the work on these in 2007, creating hundreds of articles and making over 10,000 edits in the process.
