==Submissions==

===[[Gaze]] ===
If [[Wikipedia:Recentchanges]] counts as part of [[Wikipedia:Requested articles]] (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wikipedia:Recentchanges&diff=6466077&oldid=6464661]), I humbly throw [[Gaze]] into the ring. [[User:Dysprosia|Dysprosia]] 08:39, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)

===[[(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction]]===
This is the first non-Beatles song article I've written from scratch into something that's actually decent. Yes, this was on Requested articles (for your convenience, [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wikipedia:Requested_articles/music&diff=0&oldid=6474578 the diff where I removed it]). [[User:Johnleemk|Johnleemk]] | [[User talk:Johnleemk|Talk]] 19:12, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)

===[[Deniable encryption]]===
This was on [[Wikipedia:Requested articles]]. [[User:Decrypt3|Decrypt3]] 20:15, Oct 10, 2004 (UTC)

===[[Bob Kiley]]===
Perhaps not the richest subject for a featured article, but surely I get bonus points for writing an article that appears on [[Wikipedia:Articles requested for more than a year]]. In fact it was first requested about [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wikipedia:Requested_articles&oldid=679874 twenty months ago] - one of very few requests that old still requested today. [[User:Pcb21|Pcb21|]] [[User_talk:Pcb21|Pete]] 20:32, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

===[[Evacuations of civilians in Britain during World War II]]===
I'll add it to requested later...

===[[Chromotherapy]]===
This was on [[Wikipedia:Requested articles/science]]. [[User:Straal|Straal]] 21:06, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

===[[Economy of Africa]]===
Almost all mine, but [[User:ChrisG|ChrisG]] has made some good additions. Was listed on the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Countering systemic bias|Countering systemic bias]] requests list. - [[User:SimonP|SimonP]] 23:15, Oct 12, 2004 (UTC)

===[[Japanese toilet]]===
Not a request, but still a new article from October 8. Sort of announced my interest in the topic on October 1 when [[Bidet]] was  [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Archived nominations/Index/October 2004|nominated]] as a FAC.  The [[Japanese toilet]] is <s>going through [[WP:FAC]] right now</s> now a [[WP:FA]]. -- [[User:Chris 73|Chris 73]] [[User talk:Chris 73|Talk]] 00:31, Oct 13, 2004 (UTC)

===[[Adna Chaffee]]===
Saw it was requested, so here's my little contribution at making wiki better. [[User:GeneralPatton|GeneralPatton]] 03:28, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

===[[Orthogenesis]]===
Picked from [[Wikipedia:Requested articles/science]], and, having seen [[Economy of Africa]] and concluded that the competition was as good as over, I thought I'd try for an honorary mention.  At time of listing I may not have entirely finished, I may visit the library and make further additions, will update when I'm done! --[[User:Steinsky|Joe D]] 21:22, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

===[[Roberto Matta]] ===
I may be new here, but I'm always up for a challenge! I noticed Matta's name in [[Wikipedia:Requested articles]], and whether this is worthy enough for consideration in the contest or not, at least there's something on him in Wikipedia now! [[User:Grutness|Grutness]] 10:29, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

===[[A Hard Day's Night (song)]]===
Yay, my second entry! I worked hard on this, as sifting through search results that can be about either the movie or the album (as most of them were) is tough work. [[User:Johnleemk|Johnleemk]] | [[User talk:Johnleemk|Talk]] 15:23, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

===[[Dick Morris]]===
This was on [[Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Social_Sciences_and_Philosophy]]. I don't normally write articles from scratch, it was harder than I thought. Good luck everyone! [[User:Rhobite|Rhobite]] 19:39, Oct 14, 2004 (UTC)

===[[High speed camera]]===
Created article with some help from the german entry. Requested on [[Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Applied_Arts_and_Sciences]]
--[[User:Deelkar|Deelkar]] 15:24, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)

===[[Old Swiss Confederacy]]===
Not on requests; but since [[#I need to win, Dan! What do I do?|"cheating" is encouraged]], I guess that means that new articles in general qualify... It's the second article of a series-in-the-making on the history of [[Switzerland]], created on [[October 13]], [[2004]]. It will get a picture (a map) soon. [[User:Lupo|Lupo]] 20:45, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)

===[[RTML]]===
Not requested, and I'm not going to bother cheating and putting it there. [[User:Leif|~leif]] 04:35, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)

===[[Barry Sadler]]===
Well it seems I wrote a requested article without even knowing it. I had no notion whatsoever of entering this contest, but having accidentally fulfilled the criterion I guess there's no reason not to. So here's SSgt Sadler, who I always thought of as a sort of kitchy musician, but I guess there's more to him. Not a great article by any means, but having done the work I might as well throw myself on the old chopping block. Maybe I'll improve this before the judging begins. -[[User:R. fiend|R. fiend]] 05:46, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)

===[[Star Tours]]===
I did a whole bunch of info culling, mostly reaching back to old newspapers circa the time of the ride's development. I think it is the most informative article on the ride on the Internet. I htink this counts because I wanted to see this article up on the site and so created it myself. [[User:Indiogblu|Indigoblu]] 1:57 PM 18, Oct. 2004

===[[Ottavio Bottecchia]]===
It was not requested, but putting a page that's already written there is a bit silly.

 [[nl:Wikipedia:Schrijfwedstrijd]]

===[[Game programming]]===

I don't know what the official start date for this contest was, but I wrote this one, though it was requested from [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates|Featured Article Candidates]].  I think its interesting, given how popular [[video game]]s are these days. [[User:Frecklefoot|<nowiki></nowiki>]]&mdash; [[User:Frecklefoot|Frecklefoot]] | [[User talk:Frecklefoot|Talk]] 17:38, Oct 20, 2004 (UTC)

===[[Pepsi can stove]]===
Short and sweet. 

[[User:Duk|Duk]] 18:38, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)

=== [[Frobenius normal form]] ===
Since I don't think there's any restriction on the number of articles one can submit, here's [[Frobenius normal form]]. (I requested yesterday, I thought I might as well fill it ;) [[User:Dysprosia|Dysprosia]] 00:23, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)

===[[Ethanol fermentation]]===
I notised there was no article on it when researching [[cellular respiration]], so I figured I'd write it and submit it.  [[User:Ingoolemo|<span style="color:blue;">&bull;</span>]][[User_talk:Ingoolemo|<span style="color:blue;">&rarr;</span>]][[User:Ingoolemo|<span style="color:blue;">I&ntilde;g&oacute;lemo</span>]][[User_talk:Ingoolemo|<span style="color:blue;">&larr;&bull;</span>]] 03:28, 2004 Oct 21 (UTC)

===[[Stourbridge Lion]]===
Most of my writing here so far is about historical railroad topics in the [[United States]] (you can monitor [[User:Slambo/Trains]] to see the articles that I create and/or substantially update).  I didn't see any requests for railroad history in the list, so I made a request to myself to write an article on an early named steam locomotive.  What better candidate than the first locomotive to be operated in the US? [[User:Slambo|slambo]] 00:56, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)

===[[Okot p'Bitek]]===

A long-standing requested article on the Ugandan poet, one of the major names in African post-colonial literature. [[User:Charles Matthews|Charles Matthews]] 09:52, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)

===[[The Rape of the Sabines]]===

Article from the "most wanted" list about paintg by Jacques-louis David.
However David never painted "The rape of the Sabines".
[[User:Satanovski|Satanovski]] 16:26, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)

:What part of Rule 2 did you find confusing? -- [[User:Cyrius|Cyrius]]|[[User talk:Cyrius|&#9998;]] 20:53, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)

*After two days of discussions I can see that from the Rule 2 you, Cyrius, can recognize expression "copyright violations" without slightest idea what are you talking about. [[User:Satanovski|Satanovski]] 07:47, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

===[[Communication Moon Relay]]===
I submit this article on the U.S. Navy program of the same name. It was listed on Requested articles as [[Moon bounce]]. --[[User:Slowking Man|Slowking Man]] 03:17, Oct 24, 2004 (UTC)

=== [[Jill Ker Conway]] ===
I've seen some great entries in this competition already, I think we 2nd and 3rd prizes ;). Only my second written-from-scratch article, as requested by the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Countering systemic bias]] project. -- [[User:Solitude|[[User:Solitude|Solitude]]\<sup>[[User_talk:Solitude|talk]]</sup>]] 10:24, Oct 25, 2004 (UTC)

===[[Genoa 1893]]===
There's one about the football team Genoa 1893 by me. Maybe not too good, but it took ages!!--[[User:Ben davison|Ben davison]] 17:41, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)

===[[2-8-0]]===
Okay, since there isn't a rule against multiple entries, here's another that I requested myself to do.  A '''2-8-0''' is a type of [[steam locomotive]]. [[User:Slambo|slambo]] 01:08, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)

===[[EMD BL2]]===
Do I dare enter a third article that I've written?  Yes, I dare myself to do so.  Here's another railroad locomotive page, this one describes the locomotive model that formed the basis of EMD's wildly successful GP series of locomotives.  [[User:Slambo|slambo]] 02:02, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)

===[[Ximelagatran]]===
Well, as non-requested (or just self-requested) articles seem to be allowed, I'm renominating this recent pearl of Wikipedia. This substance is a new [[anticoagulant]] that is likely to replace the much-maligned [[warfarin]] as the principal oral prophylaxis for [[thrombosis]]. It also shows the strides that the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Drugs|pharmaceutical Wikiproject]] has been making in systematically categorising medications. [[User:Jfdwolff|JFW]]&nbsp;|&nbsp;[[User_talk:Jfdwolff|<small>T@lk</small>]] 19:40, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)

===[[The Randi Rhodes Show]]===
Thowing [[The Randi Rhodes Show]] into the mix, 99.995% mine.
[[User:AdamJacobMuller|AdamJacobMuller]]

===[[Cozad Singers]]===
I requested this at [[Wikipedia:Requested articles/music]], then wrote it.  It is pretty short, but is a start at an area in music that the 'pedia has so far missed. [[User:Gentgeen|Gentgeen]]

===[[Liberal Party (Utah)]]===
This has been a red link for some time, but was not on any requested article list. Had I known about the contest before I made it, I would have "cheated." [[User:Cool Hand Luke|Cool Hand]] [[User talk:Cool Hand Luke|<span style="color:purple;">Luke</span>]] 21:06, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
