... This user may get around to being a professional procrastinator. Someday. Maybe.

If I need help, I'll turn to Help:Contents.

Sometimes I'll use the {{inuse}} template as follows when wikifying an article: {{inuse|a short while to [[Wikipedia:Glossary#W|wikify]] (format) this article as suggested in the [[Wikipedia:Guide to layout]] and the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style]]}}

[edit] Articles I'm going to work on

  • Trojan-Spy.HTML.Smitfraud.c (previously Marked as: This page has been deleted, and should not be re-created without a good reason. but has now been deleted) From the name, this is a member of the Smitfraud (Computer trojan) family. Note: SpywareStrike article acually says:

    SpywareStrike is a variant of Smitfraud trojan.

    This will need looking at for verification. (note: June 2006 Computer Shopper stated that smitfraud is zlob, and therefore SpyAxe and SpywareStrike are variants of smitfraud).
  • Smitfraud (Computer trojan) family. Having details about the family from the previous TODO, this and Trojan-Spy.HTML.Smitfraud.c may be merged into the family page (depending on how many variations there are).

[edit] Articles I've done major edits to

This section mainly contains articles I've expanded so they are no longer sub-stubs or stubs depending on the complexity.

  • Spyaxe (19 May 200623 May 2006) Note: Still needs some expansion as of 20:27, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Articles I've wikified

This section has now been moved to User:TheJC/Wikification.

[edit] All pages I've contributed to

  • See contributions page which shows all major and minor edits I've made in the main namespace.
  • Use Interiot's Tool2 to see a breakdown of my contributions.

[edit] My Proposals

This section is links to things I've either proposed or suggested that can make at least 2 articles better. It also contains links to discussions I've contributed to that I want to find quickly. Note: This section will undoubtedly get long, so will get archieved occaisionally.

  1. Wikipedia:WikiProject Malware Regarding expanded guidelines for the project. [1]
  2. SpyBouncer Regarding recatagorisation from Category:Spyware removal to Category:Adware [2] Agreed: Recatagorise.
  3. Template:Inuse went up for TfD, and one of my suggestions was to rephrase it to something similar to User:TheJC/Inuse (Template:Inuse's talk page) It was Rephrased to something similar. [3]

[edit] My VandalProof stats

Vandalism information

Level 3

Moderate to high level of vandalism. [update]

[edit] Child pages

This section contains links (in hierarchy format) to my User sub-pages. Note: bold links identify pages that have sub-pages.

[edit] Contact details

Note: I go over what I've typed several times before hitting enter (or clicking on "Save page") and think too much when typing. Therefore, I'm not slow in responding/answering you or ignoring something, it's more of a case of me being too careful about what I type.

[edit] IRC

  • You can usually find me on DALnet in channel #Windows95 helping people. My nick is usually JAWC, TheJC, The0ne, or MI6 - JAWC being the one I use most of the time.
  • I'm usually on Freenode in #TheJC - I'm also sometimes in ##Windows, #wikipedia-en and #wikipedia. I usually use my regular nick TheJC or my alternative JAWC (J[a]WC when I'm busy/away).

[edit] Website

  • If I'm not active on Wikipedia, you can visit John Cook's website and leave a message for me there (that is, once I stop procrastinating and getting around to setting up the contact section).

[edit] Talk page

  • Obviously, you could always leave a message on my talk page - there are a few requests at the top of my talk page regarding general formatting (it's pretty basic, and is there purely so I can respond to messages/comments/discussions quicker.
