Articles
Here is the list of the articles with my significant contribution. The articles that I created are in bold. Minor or less significant edits (many of them resulting from my persistent effort to add infoboxes with relevant information to all Slovakia's towns), redirects, and reverts of vandalism are not included. Many of my minor edits have also resulted from the maintenance of the categories International Relations, Castles, and Slovakia (including their numerous and often messy sub-categories).
