Christian Brethren Church of New Zealand
Christianity in Korea
David Yonggi Cho
Pitcairn rape trial of 2004
Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara
Reconciliaiton and Unity Commission of Fiji
Yoido Full Gospel Church

Everything I write is about something that interests me, so in one sense every article is special. There are, however, a few articles I've worked on that I am particularly proud of.

The article about Ratu Mara appeared on the Main Page, at the time of his death in April 2004. This was the first time one of my articles appeared there.

I first wrote the Christianity in Korea article as a university assignment back in 1988. It was one of the few things that I ever got Grade A for. Only a minor update was required to turn it into a Wikipedia article.
