From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 


I registered my account in February 2006, and was an administrator from April 2009 to February 2022. In all this time I have devoted myself to improving content on articles relating to WikiProject Comics and WikiProject Dungeons & Dragons in particular, expanding to WikiProject Role-playing games and more than dabbling in WikiProject Video games.

User:BOZ/Draft pages is a list of pages that I have put in draft space. If you have any independent reliable sources to add to any of these pages, please help me reach my goal of eventually getting them all to article space!

I have been busily adding reviews to articles about RPGs and other tabletop games from 2017 to 2022; you can see my progress at User:BOZ/Game magazine index.

I have also done some work with video games, including User:BOZ/Early computer game reviews.

Dungeons & Dragons

[edit]

WikiProject Dungeons & Dragons has accumulated a number of high-quality articles, including some Featured articles, and Good articles. Five Featured articles have been Today's Featured Article: Dungeons & Dragons on September 14, 2007; Planescape: Torment on December 12, 2009; Expedition to the Barrier Peaks on July 6, 2010; Ravenloft on October 6, 2010; and Dungeons & Dragons (album) on May 19, 2018.

We also have a number of Good articles, which have been judged to be of high quality: Against the Giants, Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn, Dave Arneson, Dragonlance, Dragons of Autumn Twilight, Dragons of Despair, Drizzt Do'Urden, Dwarf (Dungeons & Dragons), Dwellers of the Forbidden City, Gary Gygax, Icewind Dale II, Libris Mortis, Neverwinter Nights 2, Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer, Neverwinter Nights 2: Mysteries of Westgate, Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir, Pool of Radiance, The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth, Tomb of Horrors, Unearthed Arcana, White Plume Mountain, and Wizards of the Coast. With some work, they could be Featured articles one day!

If you want to lend a hand, and if you are a good writer and familiar with Wikipedia's content policies and want to help out, you can work on the Good articles to improve them to be Featured class, or you can help us build some of these articles in need of tender loving care:

Saving the Lost Children

[edit]

Wikipedia has had many thousands of articles deleted. In truth, the majority probably have little or no potential, but there are those that slip through the cracks and would never have been deleted if sources had been found in time. Additionally, articles are sometimes redirected, or drafts are abandoned, and no one knows they even existed.

Fortunately, we can restore articles after deletion if sources can be found. I have been working to do this as much as I possibly can, and here are some of my favorites and what happened to them before I found them:

Current projects

[edit]

AFD fails

[edit]

I've always wanted to keep a record of this, to remind myself that not everyone out there is going to be successful on deleting things they don't like. :)

Article accomplishments

[edit]
[edit]

I'm not claiming credit for improvement on them, but these have been improved after I started them to Featured article:

orGood article status:

I may not have put all or most of the work into improving them, but at least I took the initiative to start them and I helped out here and there. It's always good to see your children grow up. :)

Bring the reception

[edit]

I have added reception information to many existing articles, including plenty of articles that existed for years without a reception section (or in some cases, no sources at all!) or even needed to be rescued after deletion. Here are some of the notable articles that had no reception section before I added one (although I am not claiming credit for building them beyond that first edit), and a link to show what they looked like right before my first edit.
