Ninja Gaiden Console game 80% Start  A-class article A 2007-07-25 Massive cutdown of "gameguide" and "fancruft" materials. Rewrote following WP:VG/GL, expanded on real world information, merged Ninja Gaiden Black and Sigma, and created new screenshots. Thanks to Mika1h and Geoff B for their help.
Through our efforts, the article was judged to be of  Good article GA  and A class. However, I stopped watching and maintaining the article around September 2009 after tendentious editors began popping up to promote their preferred console against policies. Eventually, the article was delisted in June 2010 of its previous qualities.

Naomi Japanese novel 5% Stub B 2008-02-22 Copyedited according to WP:MOS and guidelines of WP:NOVELS. Touched up the lead. Did nothing to content. Credit for content should go to Hongseungill.
Karas Japanese animation 100% Start B 2008-03-17 Redid the whole entire article including images (previous state was very in-universe). Followed guidelines including those of WP:MOS-ANIME. Article style is partly inspired by Madlax.

This article would never have made FA without AnnaFrance, who selflessly improved the language of the article before and during the FAC process!
Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge Railway suspension bridge 100% Start  Featured article FA 2008-09-21 Just about everything. The only thing reused were the gauge information and Featured Picture. Many thanks to Jaxmrclean for later providing valuable corrections and suggestions off-Wiki.

Battle of Barnet English military history 98% Start  Featured article FA 2009-03-15 I have always been fascinated by wars and such, so... Which other battle can you find that involved a "Kingmaker" who was fighting for a king he had dethroned and reinstated, and against a king he had raised to the throne and deposed? This article would not have been FA, if not for the participants of its three reviews (MILHIST, peer, and A-class) and Scartol's red pen!
Battle of Bosworth Field English military history 85% Start  Featured article FA 2009-05-25 From Warwick and Ed to Henry and Dick!

Sword of Aragon Computer strategy game 99% Stub  Good article GA 2009-11-16 After identifying the previous version as a copyviolation, I rewrote it with accordance to policies and guidelines.
Barbarian: The Ultimate Warrior Computer action game 98% Start  A-class article A 2009-12-21 Massive rewrite: eliminated links to copyviolations, set structure according to policies and guidelines, and write in real-life material.
Article is also  Good article GA  class.
Barbarian II: The Dungeon of Drax Computer action game 100% Stub  Good article GA 2009-12-24 Massive rewrite: article was practically barren of real-life contents, other than review scores, at the start. You never know what you can find while searching for images of Maria Whittaker... for research purposes, to see if there are any CC-licensed images. She is not my type, anyways... Finding Brown's mention of Muybridge in a published interview was a coup for the search.
Lat Malaysian cartoonist 98% Start  Featured article FA 2010-07-02 Seriously, this is a cartoonist that break the mold in my book. He became a datuk because of his cartoons! How hardcore can you get? I love his books. Perhaps the reviewers are right, we all want something innocent and fun that we can no longer get back. The article before I touched it was practically unsourced; most of the information were from primary sources (Lat's books) or were probably original conjectures.
Article was also  A-class article A  class.

The Kampung Boy Malaysian graphic novel 90% Stub  Good article GA 2010-07-15 Lat's best known work; nothing in my opinion captures the idyllic childhood like he did. Funny enough, I knew I have read it but I never had it in my collection... possibly I had done so in one of my schools' library? Article's previous state was mostly personal conjecture or descriptive of the book. A thank you to Awadewit for tightening up the prose.
Kampung Boy (TV series) Malaysian animated series 100% Unassessed  Featured article FA 2010-07-15 A hoax about this television series was initially at Kampung Boy (the novel). An IP put in a request to create the article; the content was total bull (a story so ridiculous, it was an insult to the integrity of the work) but an administrator accepted and fulfilled the request on the basis of WP:AGF... the hoax persisted for years until someone dared to challenge it (I believe the mark of an admin in creating hoax content validates it in the eyes of others—an admin did it, so it must be okay somehow—hence no one did a thing until that challenger appeared); this incident perfectly illustrates a failing of this project.
I got involved during my research on Lat, and managed to get the insulting content deleted. Now at least there is some encyclopaedic and true content here.
Article was also  Good article GA  class.
Battle of Towton English military history 90% Start  Featured article FA 2011-01-04 Fascinated with mediaeval warfare, I was hooked onto the Wars of the Roses by this image of the Battle of Towton, the frontispiece of Philip A. Haigh's The Military Campaigns Of The Wars Of The Roses; the hunt to investigate if the image is in the public domain took years but was very worth it! The attribution of the "largest and bloodiest battle ever fought on English soil" adds mystique to it.
Article was also  A-class article A  class.

Tewkesbury Medieval Festival Mediaeval re-enactment 98% Start  Good article GA 2011-01-21 Rewrote the article after identifying some parts as copyviolations: the article is small, as reliable sources are limited.
Conan the Barbarian (1982 film) Action film 88% C  Featured article FA 2011-08-30 I actually began a rewrite for this article in 2010 (offline). At that time, it was in a terrible mess, basically a collection of unsourced information and original research. Sad to say, it only proves one thing for me. Articles in a bad shape tend to remain the same state or degrade even faster, attracting the same type of edits. Fortunately, this film is a controversial cult classic and many reliable sources are available (much time was spent to dig them out). Burn-outs and personal issues dragged the writing of this article a bit.

I really have to thank Yomangani for the selfless copy-editing of this article; it trimmed the article to a readable size.
