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! (Assuming it had not been reverted anyway.)

[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.

I have been far less active recently than I was when I registered, but I have not actually left the site, and do not intend to at this time.

Tip of the day

Tip of the day... Think outside the box Just as Google can be used to supplement Wikipedia's searchbox, your browser's toolbar can be used to supplement Wikipedia's navigation aids and the Main Page. Use it to create alternate access points to Wikipedia, and as your own customized navigation bar. To do this, bookmark the pages in Wikipedia you wish fast access to, saving each bookmark in the toolbar folder. Each one will immediately be available on the toolbar.

• Sunday: Same as above, but I also give my weekly Sunday StatChart. I have had it since October 7, 2005, when I made my first major revamp of my userpage.

You can, alternatively, use my little Page Create Tool to create the article you are interested in writing. Please use search first, whether on Special:Search, in your skin, or my new Wikisearch.

If you're too bored, you can stare at these compare and contrasts.

If you want to know about my interests, take a peek at my userboxes. (They used to be on this userpage, but there are so many now that I figured it was time to split them off.)

If none of all that is helping, maybe this will:

[edit] Vandalism of my userpage

In my time at Wikipedia, I have had to deal with two vandals that happened by my userpage (which you are looking at) and (gasp) edited it.

The first was A NON COMPLAINING WOW (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log), who blanked the page and replaced it with a redirect (do not want to say where, but despite that username, it was not "on wheels") This occured on January 3, 2006, and within seconds was reverted by administrator Antandrus (talk • contribs • blocks • protects • deletions • moves).

The second, and most recent, was done by an anonymous user, 172.130.242.99 (talk • contribs • WHOIS • RDNS • RBLs • block user • block log), who tried to circumvent semi-protection on the article for the Futurama television series by doing the vandalism (claiming that it would be revived on The CW instead of Comedy Central) on this page -- but it's not nice to do that. This occurred on January 10, 2007, and the edits in question were reverted by me several hours later.

[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.
