Red River Shootout - was copied by WOAI on their website. They took it down when I contacted them about their need to properly cite Wikipedia and comply with GFDL.
^"Rating" will list if the article has made GA or FA. I may also include other rankings like "A" and "stub".
^"Major contribution" is a judgment call. Here I will state whether I think I made a major contribution to the article or not. Note that this does not mean I claim to be the major contributor. This is subjective of course. You are welcome to disagree about the impact of my contribution; and of course articles change such that it is essentially impossible to ever say how much of an article was written by whom.
^"Added image" - this means I found an image somewhere and added it to the article, following our image use guidelines of course. It could be a fair-use image that can properly be used in the article. It could be an image I found on the Commons or elsewhere in Wikipedia.
^"Free image" - this means I actually created an image (usually a photograph), released it under a free license, and added it to the article.
^"Saved" means I helped save the article from deletion. Usually by arguing in its behalf on AfD and/or improving the article to make it worthy of keeping.

Milestones in Edit Count
12 December 2004 - made my first edit
Sometime in 2005 - passed Jimbo Wales in editcount. :-)
Edit counts aren't everything, but for what it is worth, here is the current Edit count for Johntex
If that edit counter is broken for en.wiki, you can use this one instead.
Resources
Here are some of my favorite Resources for editing Wikipedia.
Useful quote:
...as a general rule, I think that almost any argument, on any topic, which has premises beginning with "Jimbo said..." is a pretty weak argument. Surely the merits of the proposal should be primary, not what I happen to think."[2] - Jimbo Wales
