Massive spelling corrections, doing WP:TYPO work, from June 28th to 30th, using the list at common misspellings with the internal search engine. Over these three days, I have fixed about 1,250 spelling errors, not to mention doing lots of other cleanup work on the pages along the way. No, I'm not a bot, just insane.
Earth Girl Arjuna has recieved a complete rewrite, my largest edit yet. Took about 4 hours, including doing outside research (not original research!) Longer if you wanna count watching the show as working on it :P. It sorely needed it, and I think it's a pretty decent article now.
Extensive work on MoS:DAB compliance. Been doing this for a while, I've done enough now that combined, they are a noteworthy contribution. See section below (on /work page) for a list of individual pages fixed.
Trouble Chocolate (rewrote all information, added cast list)
The Unvanquished (created, as well as the succession box that appears on that and the other books' pages)
Work on dab link repair - moved to section below
Beauregard (My first move (the old article to Beauregard (song)), and created this new disambig. page, after searching down all the possible meanings, including non-existant ones I found in the French Wikipedia)
Data Drain diff and
Skeith diff (My first major edits, way back in the day. Pretty much rewrote the pages - of course, they've been entirely rewritten again since. Such is the glory of Wikipedia.)

Why?

Very simple rules to follow - even pages needing entire rewrites only take 15 minutes or so
Makes dab pages much nicer looking, and so much easier to use
When pages are written in this style, new links are then added in the correct style, especially with new users, because they are more likely to emulate what they see than actually go and read all the guidelines. Similarly, when dab pages are left messy, new links are often added just as messily, leading to pages needing major revision later.

Work: (pages which I have made significant changes to in order to comply with the MoS)

Work: (Dab pages which I have directed a significant number of links away from, to the correct target.)
