Of all the work I have done here, I am most proud of the Sopranos episode guides I wrote. Many have changed a bit since I wrote them, but that's the nature of wikipedia.

In June of 2007, Wikipedia was mentioned by nearly every major news outlet (Yahoo, CNN, MSNBC, ESPN, etc) because of the Chris Benoit story and because of my research. In what turned out to be a remarkably prophetic and tragic prank, someone vandalized Chris Benoit's page the day before the world learned the wrestler killed his family in a murder-suicide. The vandal posted the now somewhat famous update to the page stating that Benoit had missed an event because of the death of his wife, in what turned out to be very close to the truth. A hobby of mine is to review archives of pages involved in a news event, seeing how the pages changed during the story. So, as I reviewed the archives of Benoit's page the night if his death, I spotted the post. I then posted on Benoit's talk page what is the first mention of the eerie post anywhere on the internet or in the media. See it here. Fox took it from Wikinews and then the other major outlets followed. Wikinews gave me the trophy accommodation below for my efforts and an editor here at Wikipedia gave me The Surreal Barnster. A few days later, I heard from Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales. He said: You did a good job. It was excellent that you did the first research to find the now famous 12:01AM (eastern time) edit to the Chris Benoit entry, and I am really glad that you posted to the discussion page of the article about it. I am also glad for those who followed up by researching the location of the ip number. Jimbo Wales 13:16, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
