A Quick Look at My Largest Wiki Contributions

With all of the contributions that I've made to the Giant Bomb wiki since the site went live, I thought now might be a good a time as any to take another look at my current top ten largest contributions to the site, based on the wikipoints earned.  I think it's interesting (to me, at least) to see where I've been putting my focus in adding to the site.
 

  1. Metroid:  Other M (908 Points) -  The game isn't even out yet and I've already written a hefty article on it.  I imagine it'll get much more detailed once the game is actually released and the speculative bits are replaced with solid fact.
  2. Tatsunoko vs. Capcom:  Ultimate All Stars (886 Points) - This is one of my favorite games of the year so far.  I've had a lot to say about it.
  3. Inventory (872 Points) - When the Task system went live, this page was one of the first tasks I took on.  Unfortunately, all the effort I put into editing it was overwritten by someone else that was editing it at the exact same time I was, so the points I earned editing it don't really mean anything.
  4. Castlevania Judgment (854 Points) - I am possibly the only person on the internet not employed by Konami that could write about this game with a straight face.
  5. Compilation of Final Fantasy VII (570 Points) - My latest large-scale contribution to the wiki, I wrote this article after spending part of the day watching Advent Children Complete and browsing the bonus features.
  6. Fire Emblem (557 Points) - This one, as I recall, was actually a rescue operation, as the contents of the page's article had been swiped from Wikipedia and required a rewrite.
  7. Ouendan (446 Points) - The Ouendan franchise is too manly to go textless.  I had to fill it in.
  8. Belmont Clan (395 Points) - I saw this page not long after it had been created and decided to give it a go.  It left me a little baffled as to how the text edit-to-points earned formula actually works.
  9. Final Fantasy X (386 Points) - I earned most of these points by completing a task to give the article a gameplay section.  Mission accomplished!
  10. Digital Devil Monogatari:  Megami Tensei (368 Points) - The first task I took on when the task feature went live.  There's really not much that I could find on the game with the amount digging around I did, but hopefully someone out there with more knowledge than I will be able to flesh it out even further at some point.

Ouendan? Manly? Unless it features this song, I'm not buying it.

You'd buy it if you too could blow up an asteroid hurtling toward Earth by sheer force of will with fire rising in the background behind you.

So it's like the ending to FF7, but with the addition of fire? By that logic, only one game is worth playing, since the others after it will invariably ruin what made the first so good. (The ending was good because it was ambiguous.)

@Video_Game_King:   Actually, the sequels just improved everything with more music, a better interface, and more batshit insanity.

A.) More music? OK, that's right, but not much of a point. You could've pointed out how One Winged Angel got a bitchin' rock remix.
B.) Better interface? A movie doesn't count, Dirge of Cerberus was crap, and I don't have anything on any of the other ones.
C.) Batshit insanity? OK, fine, I'll give you that.

Me and the wiki have had an on again off again relationship. I will say that I spent way too much time on the Danielle Berry page and my Sinistar page is so good that I've found websites plagiarizing it for their own databases.
