Comment Hello! Welcome to my user page! I believe it looks as good as I could make it to be. You can tell I am a Wikipedian, right?

You'll notice some of the following on this page:

  • How I contribute
  • Any useless information I want to give
  • Any fine print I have to give
  • And much, much more.

I hope you like what you see! Oh, and by the way, I will NOT welcome vandalism. If I find out about it, it will be removed! (Then again, for that matter, when I find out about it, it may have been reverted beforehand!)
Note!
Vandal alerts for this userpage:
  • A NON COMPLAINING WOW (talk • contribs • logs • block user • block log) -- blanked userpage and replaced it with redirect (do not want to say where, but despite that username, it was not "on wheels") (Vandalized this page: January 3, 2006)

Vandal alerts for the userpage only apply to vandalism on this userpage. Such vandalism and/or reversions will appear on my watchlist and will become known to me as I see it. I am strongly against vandalism and have userboxes that support this statement. Thank you.

Comments?
Do you have anything to say about what I have done, in an article or right here? Perhaps you do! If so, drop me a line on my talk page today. (Click here to start a new talk section.) The wiki will alert me to the comment's existence, so I should be able to see it as soon as it arrives (that is, if I'm not on another website like other Wikimedia projects). Thank you!

[edit] My history here

I've been editing Wikipedia for over a year now, though I've been reading it for quite a while beforehand. I first started editing as an anon in September 2005, with my first two edits being the additions of {{Infobox broadcast}} to the WBPX and WUNI-TV articles. This was on September 6, 2005. After that, I returned on about the 23rd or so and started creating (yes, creating. This was, after all, before the John Seigenthaler Sr. Wikipedia biography controversy that resulted with the end of anons creating articles.) and editing articles on broadcast stations, especially TV stations (the first article I created was WWDP) -- as well as a number of other things. Not too long later (on September 25, 2005) I registered my account, and since then I have done many more edits to articles related to broadcasting, as well as the occasional other thing (such as roads). (How many more? Well, over my 12 months here, I've racked up over 5,500 edits with an account. Including anon edits, my count exceeds 6,000!) Additionally, I've revamped several template series' into more uniform styles.

Of course, when I'm aware of vandalism that hasn't been reverted, that's exactly what I do — I revert it. I have been also known to discover when an article is about something that isn't really true. In fact, debunking a K07RE that was affiliated with five networks at once (and predated LPTV, the type of station it was purported to be, by some 20-25 years) as a hoax led to the first barnstar I received, which was a Barnstar of Diligence that was given to me by Firsfron (talk • contribs) on August 22, 2006.

[edit] Current misc. information

The contributions notes have been moved to the infobox. (Yes, I gave my self an infobox. Yes, it just contains userboxes. No, I do not like The Bad Ones™ (the political ones that constantly get TfD'd (the results of which usually have their deletion reviewed) and are rejected by Jimbo), and never will. Now that I have stated this, let's move on -- and note that yes, I have now decided to pull the original version of {{Wdefcon}} in favor of a userbox variant.)

Picture of the day
Petrified wood

Petrified wood, such as this sample found in Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona, United States, is a fossil wood where all the organic materials have been replaced with minerals, while retaining the original structure of the wood. The petrifaction process occurs underground, when wood becomes buried under sediment. Mineral-rich water flowing through the sediment deposits minerals in the plant's cells and as the lignin and cellulose decay, a stone cast forms in its place.

Sign your messages with ~~~~

To prevent readers from getting your posts on talk pages mixed up with those of other users, be sure to sign your posts! When you edit a message, there is a row of square buttons at the top of the edit box. One of them looks like a signature: Image:Signature_icon.png. Click on it, and four tildes (~~~~) are inserted where the blinking cursor is. When you save the page, those are automatically converted into a link to your user page followed by a date stamp. You can also type in the 4 tildes manually. To sign without a date stamp, type in three tildes (~~~) instead.

Bonus tip: you can customize your signature in your preferences menu.

[edit] The fine print

Subject to change without notice...

I am not responsible for lost, stolen, or deleted articles, images, categories, templates, stub types, or even speedied pages, though all of that is because I have no powers to delete under the deletion system. (I also take no responsibility for any deletion debate result questioning unless I otherwise feel differently. Also, deletion debates that I start or pages that I place one of the speedy deletion tags do not count in above.) If for some reason I decide to leave Wikipedia, anything that appears above this fine print is effectively null and void, and likely will be removed anyway. Any comments regarding anything I do on Wikipedia should not be left on this page, it should instead be directed to my talk page through that link. Any dual-licensing has not been decided and will not be mentioned until then. I do not have any control over Wikidefcon levels unless I otherwise decide to be bold and actually edit that template, which is at my discretion. Features are generated either by dates or by any editing of the templates, either anyone or admins (but, barring some exceptions, not by any bot). Attention mirror site viewers: This page is from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. It is a page for a user, and is not encyclopedic. If you are viewing it elsewhere, you may be visiting an outdated mirror. Please direct yourself to the real thing at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Wcquidditch . This fine print will exist on this page until I decide to remove it, which could be if I depart or if I don't like it anymore. This concludes my user page. Thank you. Oh, and did I mention that I don't like political userboxes, or The Bad Ones™? I must have somewhere...
