Wikipedia pages I've created

Astronomy and the Universe

Barred spiral galaxy

• Barred spiral galaxy, a type of spiral galaxy. Our own Milky Way may be a barred spiral galaxy. This article was linked to from the front page of Slashdot on August 17, 2005, leading to a number of great improvements over my original.
• Omega Centauri, the Milky Way's most massive globular cluster
• Mu Arae, a star similar to the Sun with three orbiting planets, one of which may be rocky

Drugs and Medical

• Athlete's foot, a fungal infection of the skin
• Miconazole, a topical antifungal drug used to treat Athlete's foot

Miscellaneous Science and Natural Phenomena

• Sun Pillar, my first ever edit, now a redirect to Halo (optical phenomenon)

Pages to which I've made significant edits

Astronomy and the Universe

Sombrero Galaxy, NASA / STScI

• Canis Major (dwarf galaxy), a page into which I merged a misnamed page and added significant information.
• Hoag's object, an unusual specimen of ring galaxy. I added signficant information from a paper on its structure and evolution.
• M104, aka the Sombrero Galaxy. I replaced a nonfree image with a free one and added information. Later users subsequently uploaded better versions of the free image I had uploaded, and on January 1, 2005 it was Wikipedia:Picture of the day.

Miscellaneous Science and Natural Phenomena

• Halo (optical phenomenon). I contributed three public domain images to pages that were eventually all folded into this one. The image shown is now a featured picture. It has been Wikipedia:Picture of the day on 15 October 2004 and 28 January 2005.

Pages to which I've made minor nontrivial changes

• Spiral arm, the "arm" of a spiral galaxy
• Sun dog, a type of halo (optical phenomenon)
• All your base are belong to us, to add information about bricks-and-mortar graffiti
