Article stripped of "unsourced" content by sockpuppet of banned user JoshuSasori, who had taken pride in having written a bunch of unsourced film articles
Article (successfully!) speedied by sockpuppet of banned user JoshuSasori; not recreated until I returned to active production more than two years later
Article stripped of "unsourced" content by sockpuppet of banned user JoshuSasori; earlier unsuccessfully speedied by a reckless edit-warrior who was apparently banned soon thereafter for unrelated reasons
Living proof that I was editing Japanese cinema articles before JoshuSasori even had an account -- users who wrongly accuse me of trolling and edit-warring have a nasty habit of getting banned, don't they?
While I am not and never have been a specialist in Anglo-Saxon literature, it was a hobby of mine in junior high school. However, as the other articles on this list should demonstrate, I'm not very good at coming up with good articles off the bat, and at the time I started this article I didn't really understand WP:WEIGHT. My source for the statements in the early versions of the article was Brian Branston, who is anything but "fringe" or "non-mainstream" in the field of early Anglo-Saxon literature. Indeed, even now the article Anglo-Saxon paganism cites him 12 times. However, when I read him I was only 16, and the exact implications of what he was saying apparently went over my head. I have never been an expert on Cædmon's Hymn, and at the time I created the page I was working with only two independent sources (Branston and the 4th and 7th editions of the Norton Anthology of English Literature). I merely thought that as one of the earliest extant pieces of English-language writing, the Hymn definitely deserved its own article, and created an initial draft based on what I knew. It was wrong to assume bad faith and say that I "created the page to highlight a non-mainstream view"[1]. The page quickly got redirected to the article on Cædmon. I hadn't known that I should have taken all the information out of that article and added it to the new one, but I assumed the poem was more famous than the poet, and since the poem didn't have an independent article it probably hadn't been discussed anywhere on Wikipedia. I had never seriously argued the POV that the Hymn contains pagan themes, and would have accepted that this was fringe and should not be in the article if the other users had accepted that the article should exist. However, four years later (during my wikiretirement) my view that the topic should have its own independent article prevailed. I was still the one who started it, though.
Created page on the father of the Okura Immigrant Theory as part of my ongoing campaign of trolling against users of such diverse interests and editing patterns as JZ, CN, TH, ND and SG. Or something. Yeah, that's the ticket. I'm just trolling everyone. That totally explains my actions on the Yamanoue no Okura page over the past three years. And all my other Japanese poetry edits summarized on this page, for that matter. Yeah...

Removing one of the red-links I added to the Ariwara no Narihira article (as well as my other baby Ōe no Chisato) -- I wonder if I can get that one to FA-standard...

Originally meant to be part of Wikipedia Asian Month, but not finished by the deadline. Technically, since the page was started in November (see User:Hijiri88/Zhu Qingyu) it could have just about squeezed through, but that would have been questionable. I had already passed the four-article bar anyway. Hopefully in 2017, I will be able to write articles on English Wikipedia on topics I know more about; bear in mind that on August 2 of 2015, I created twelve articles in the space of a day. Topics in my principal area of expertise are excluded from WAM on Japanese Wikipedia, and my French ability isn't what it used to be.

Ogura Hyakunin Isshu 31; total rewrite from scratch (drafted in user space based on independent sources; unaware that article already existed because of a misspelling in another article — Wikipedia is funny sometimes)
Total rewrite and massive expansion, originally taking place in user space, later on talk sub-page, before being overlaid onto mainspace on date cited left (but project still ongoing)
