I'm a 18-year-old from [[Norway]] who has a strange affection for the game of [[cricket]]. As such, my major contributions have been to this cause, including:
* [[The Ashes]]
* [[2005 English cricket season]], [[2005-06 Australian cricket season]], [[2005-06 West Indian cricket season]]
* [[Pakistanis in West Indies in 2005]], [[Indian Oil Cup 2005]], [[South African cricket team in Australia in 2005-06]]
* [[Irish cricket team]], [[Norwegian cricket team]]
* [[Barbadian cricket team]], [[Combined Islands cricket team]], [[Leeward Islands cricket team]], [[Windward Islands cricket team]], [[Trinidad and Tobago cricket team]], [[Jamaican cricket team]], [[Guyanese cricket team]]
* [[Dhaka Division cricket team]]
* [[International cricket in 2005]], [[International cricket in 2005-06]]
* Overview pages on English cricket seasons from [[1890 English cricket season|1890]] to [[1899 English cricket season|1899]]
* Many stubs on New Zealand cricket captains, including [[Bevan Congdon]], [[John Reid (cricketer)|John Reid]] and [[Geoff Howarth]]
* Lists of Test, ODI and Twenty20 cricketers - e.g. [[List of Pakistani Test cricketers|Pakistan]], [[List of South African Test cricketers|South Africa]]
* Sri Lankan cricketers (private pet project): [[Ashantha De Mel]], [[Somachandra de Silva]], [[Ajit de Silva]], [[Roy Dias]], [[Mahes Goonatileke]], [[Lalith Kaluperuma]], [[Ranjan Madugalle]] (major rewrite), [[Duleep Mendis]], [[Bandula Warnapura]], [[Sidath Wettimuny]].
I've also contributed to articles on [[motorcycle speedway]], and I have an aim to improve at least some of the speedway articles to FA status. However, the main page still needs some serious cleanup and explanation.
* [[Tony Rickardsson]]
* [[Speedway World Championship]]
Other sports (contributions - haven't started all of these):
* [[1993 FINA Short Course World Championships]], [[2002 FINA Short Course World Championships]]
* [[Nordic skiing World Championships]]
* [[2005 World Women's Handball Championship]], [[2006 European Men's Handball Championship]], [[2007 World Men's Handball Championship]]
* Started [[Lars Bystøl]] as stub
* [[European Speed Skating Championships]], [[Clas Thunberg]]
* 2006 Winter Olympics: [[Alpine skiing at the 2006 Winter Olympics|Alpine skiing]], [[Biathlon at the 2006 Winter Olympics|Biathlon]], [[Bobsleigh at the 2006 Winter Olympics|Bobsleigh]], [[Cross country skiing at the 2006 Winter Olympics|XC skiing]], nations: {{flagicon|DEN}} [[Denmark at the 2006 Winter Olympics|DEN]], {{flagicon|EST}} [[Estonia at the 2006 Winter Olympics|EST]] {{flagicon|FIN}} [[Finland at the 2006 Winter Olympics|FIN]], {{flagicon|DEU}} [[Germany at the 2006 Winter Olympics|GER]], {{flagicon|JPN}} [[Japan at the 2006 Winter Olympics|JPN]] {{flagicon|NED}} [[Netherlands at the 2006 Winter Olympics|NED]], {{flagicon|NOR}} [[Norway at the 2006 Winter Olympics|NOR]], {{flagicon|SWE}} [[Sweden at the 2006 Winter Olympics|SWE]], {{flagicon|SUI}} [[Switzerland at the 2006 Winter Olympics|SUI]]
Away from sports:
* [[Heggedal]]; was a rather nasty hoax, thanks to [[User:Punkmorten|Punkmorten]] we got rid of that and now there's a fairly decent article in its place
Inspired by [[User:Ambi|Ambi]] and others, I have started a [[User:Sam Vimes/The 10 Random Pages Test|/10 Random Pages Test]].
I keep getting called Sam Vines, for some infathomable reason. I suppose it must have something to do with Wikipedia's font. So just to clarify - it's Vi'''m'''es.
