Archaeologist exhumed: Martin Rundkvist from double-deletion to FA

From sickbed to GA: Tuberculosis in human culture

Here are a few of the articles I rescued, including some of the first things I ever did here, mainly those that ended up with a star of some kind. It's a particular pleasure when something saved from the trash ends up as a Good Article, and basically astonishing to all of us when one such gets from double-deletion to Featured Article.

Resurrected in various ways

• Martin Rundkvist (assisted with exhumation from double-deletion, all the way to FA)
• "The Man in the Moon Stayed Up Too Late" (extra 63%, straight after GA)
• "The Scouring of the Shire" (rewritten to GA)
• "The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen" * (resurrected to GA, with expert help on sources by Carcaroth)
• Patrick Curry * (resurrected to GA, I found out afterwards, had been double-deleted)
• Finwë and Míriel * (resurrected to GA)
• Kaivalyadhama (dePRODded, all the book sources)
• Plant defense against herbivory (rescued, pre-GAR)
