User:Ynhockey/Contributions
These are articles I've contributed to in a major way. Nothing to be bragging about, but I saw another user do this and thought it would be nice to as well. Please note that a major contribution doesn't have a set size of words/edits/whatever, but (at least, on this page), is measured in how important it is to the article. However, I try to list only those articles, the size of which I've increased by at least 150%, or heavily copyedited. Obviously, a major contribution is not every non-minor edit.
This page was made for the following purposes:
- For my own record
- For anyone who is interested in my contributions
- For a case such as RfA (I hope to be nominated someday), where many users need to quickly find out what I've done on Wikipedia

Municipality stubs
I have created a number of articles on Israeli towns, since I thought it was fairly sad that Wikipedia didn't already have an article on them. However, since I don't know much about these towns (and have not visited most of them), the articles are mostly stubs, listing population, jurisdiction, and possibly a few small facts I found. I have not done in-depth research about these localities though. Keep in mind that when I wrote each of these articles, they were stubs.

Templates (Userboxes)
Note: I've created a bunch of other userboxes but they were deleted. For instance, the User Likud template was deleted following the decision that support for political parties should not be shown with userboxes. None of my userboxes were derrogatory however.
Redirects created - about 90-100

* - I actually created these articles, but much of the content was cut from (an)other article(s).
Added tabular data
There are some ice hockey-related articles where I've added statistics for players. While I consider it a major contribution (took a long time for each player), it is not the same kind of content-based contribution as others, therefore I made a special section for it. So far I've added the statistics for the following players:
In addition, there are Israeli transportation-related articles where I've added the bus routes related to the article's subject, in the form of a table. The articles are:
Assisted translations
Other things I do
While I pride quality over quantity, most of my edits are minor and probably not very significant. However, a certain type of edit, if done a lot, constitutes a major contribution. Examples of such edits in my case:
- Monitoring new articles and tagging them for Speedy Deletion, Copyvio, Notability, etc. or if they're good then wikifying and categorizing them when I can. I do this usually when I have time to edit Wikipedia but don't have anything specific I can do at the moment.
- Updating information on Israeli towns and cities, such as population, spelling of cities (there were a ton of redirects because no one could agree on transliteration), and more.

Images
I've uploaded a bunch of images to Wikipedia, but don't consider them special since most were screenshots and other 'fair use' material (or resized fair use material at best). However, I have actually created some images from scratch, and will list them here (most will be simple):
- Gotei 13 insignia - insignia of the divisions of Gotei 13 in Bleach.
- Arad, Israel - municipality logo of Arad, Israel.
- Israeli districts (link points to central) - the districts of Israel in SVG format.
- Israel-geo-stub icon - new icon for Israeli geography stubs that was not used (see Template talk:Israel-geo-stub for POV accusations in action).
- Israeli Military Police symbol - the symbol of the Israeli Military Police - used fair use image at first, but created this one for the template {{User IMP}}.
- Map of Arad - a generic map of Arad, Israel, showing its neighbourhoods. The map is very generic, don't expect street names and such.
- Map of Arad - full street map of Arad, Israel. Also on Wikimedia Commons.
