Articles I created

- Furthermore, I have also created a lot of disambiguation and redirect pages. :D
Articles that should be created
- Southern Resource Area, the rich resource area located in the Dutch East Indies, the Malay peninsula, the Philippines, etc.
- LI-2200, higher-strength version of the LI-900 material, known as LI-2200 (22 pounds per cubic foot bulk density). These tiles provided strength and insulating properties needed in stressful areas that LI-900 tiles were unable to handle. These tiles came with an undesirable weight penalty. Prompted NASA to develop FRCI-12.
- FRCI-12, fibrous refractory composite insulation (12-pound-per-cubic-foot bulk density material). Since their introduction in 1981, FRCI-12 tiles have been used to replace both LI-900 and LI-2200 tiles in many fragile areas of the Space Shuttle
- Humanity: A Moral History of the Twentieth Century, an expository and analytical book written by Jonathan Glover discussing things such as Mao's Communist rule and Stalin's Nationalist Socialism.
- Degenerate hyperbola, a conic section in mathematics
- Radiation filter, a screen that filters 94-99% of low-level radiation emitted by computers, Source
- Musée Conti, a historical-based wax museum located in New Orleans, Louisiana. The museum tells of the story behind the New Orleans area in a chronological fashion using over a 100 life-sized wax figures.
- Rainpipe/Drainpipe, a large pipe that carries away the discharge of waste pipes, soil pipes, etc.
'Articles that should be created' that were created
- War of the Rats, a novel released in May of 1999 about Russian snipers
- LI-900, Space Shuttle TPS tiles that have remarkable thermal protection properties. (An LI-900 tile exposed to a temperature of 1000 K on one side will remain merely warm to the touch on the other side.)
- Concurrent enrollment, summer enrollment in a community college or university for high school course credit
- Enrique Dupuy de Lôme, the Spanish Minister to the United States in 1892, whom wrote an evocative letter which was captured by American intelligence and revealed to the public. The letter censured McKinley, ridiculing him as being weak and incompetent.
