Below is a list of articles which I've taken through the various Wikipedia processes together with the dates they achieved a particular milestone. They range from newly created or expanded pages nominated for the Did You Know section on the Main Page, to more established articles that were submitted for Good and Featured content. I have either created or significantly contributed to many of the subjects listed here, and articles which I've taken through more than one process appear in each of the appropriate tables.
Featured articles (FAs) are considered to be the best articles Wikipedia has to offer, as determined by its editors, and are used as a benchmark for writing other content. To reach Featured Article status, an article must meet the Featured Article criteria, which requires its subject matter to be accurate, neutral, complete, and well-written. They are reviewed as Featured Article candidates by experienced editors, and if promoted have a chance to appear on the Main Page as Today's featured article.
