This is a list of articles I created or significantly expanded that were nominated for Did you know..., either as a self-nomination or by other editors. I maintain this primarily to track the quid pro quo requirement.

DYK views listed with an asterisk are at least partially affected from offsite referrals, such as from reddit.

For the previous 100 articles, see User:Mindmatrix/Did you know/100.
