Kwekubo (a contraction of Kweku Obu; more often referred to as Gabriel Beecham) is a Wikipedian since the 9th of April 2003, first contributing to the Esperanto wiki, but now also active in the English and Irish projects, and to a lesser extent in the French and Latin wikis.

He claims credit for coining the name Wikinews, translating the first version of LanguageGa.php, creating the Wikipedia, finding the Loch Ness monster and perfecting cold fusion.

Kwekubo does not usually refer to himself in the third person.

This user is a member of the Association of Wikipedians Who Dislike Making Broad Judgments About the Worthiness of a General Category of Article, and Who Are in Favor of the Deletion of Some Particularly Bad Articles, but That Doesn't Mean They Are Deletionists The motto of the AWWDMBJAWGCAWAIFDSPBATDMTD is Est omnino difficile iudicare inclusionis meritum cuiusdam rei in encyclopædia cum ratio sciendi quid populi referat incerta sit, sed nihilominus aliquid encyclopædiam dedecet, which translates to, "it is generally difficult to judge the worthiness of a particular topic for inclusion in an encyclopedia considering that there is no certain way to know what interests people, but some topics nevertheless are not fit for an encyclopedia." This motto reflects the desire of these Wikipedians to be reluctant, but not entirely unwilling, to remove articles from Wikipedia.

Today's motto...
On to the Reichstag! Bring the tanks!

[edit] Anti-vandalism templates

The template {{TestTemplates}} is deprecated. Please use {{WP:UTM}} instead.

These templates should always be used with the subst: keyword, as suggested on Wikipedia:Template substitution. They are shown without subst: here to reduce the space occupied by this large table. For example, type {{subst:test}}, not {{test}}, to warn common first-time vandals.

To coordinate numbers, the previous blanking 2, 3, and 4 templates have been moved because they were out of sync with the numbering usage with other templates. The old templates, though not listed, can still be used as they redirect to the new name and number.

The numbering system being used across the templates is simple:

0. Good faith edit

1. General note

2. Could be seen as vandalism

3. Warning to stop

4. Final warning

5. Blocked

6. Blocked plus severe warning

If you are creating new templates, please follow the numbers above, even if you are not creating templates using all the numbers. That way, by using the right number, users will be able to know automatically what category of message the template refers to.
