This is the user page for:    WC Quidditch     my talk  |  my contribs 

Hello. You've reached the user page of another of the registered contributors to Wikipedia (that may be a high number, but trust me: every good contribution I made is just as valuable as anyone else's). The reason of this page is to tell you a little about my editing habits, and show you some interesting things relating to what appears to be the world's most popular wiki.

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.)

If you need to inform me of something, just [ drop me a line]. (I recommend [ starting a new section] to keep new discussions separate from older, unrelated discussions.)

And remember:

My history here
I've been editing Wikipedia for over 18.909423598680874 years ago now, though I had been reading it for a few months beforehand. I first started editing as an unregistered user on September 6, 2005, with my first two edits being the additions of Infobox broadcast (forerunner to today's Infobox television station) to the WBPX and WUNI-TV articles. After that, I returned on September 19 and started the article on WWDP (in those days, there was no Articles for Creation process, and unregistered users could still create articles in mainspace; just months later, the Wikipedia Seigenthaler biography incident brought that practice to an end); from there, I continued to create and edit articles on broadcast stations, especially TV stations — as well as a number of other things. A few days later (on September 25, 2005) I registered my account (the first edits simply picked up where my anon edits left off), and since then I have done many more edits to articles related to broadcasting, as well as the occasional other thing (such as roads) — though as the years have gone by the non-broadcasting-related edits have all but dried up, and a substantial amount of those that I do still make gravitate towards other media topics. (As for how many more edits have I made? Well, in the 18.857368804160327 years ago I've had this account, I've racked up well over 107,000 edits — good enough to rank 739th on the list of Wikipedians by number of edits (as of June 2, 2024). (That's just the edits that remain visible in page histories; it's over 114,000 edits when factoring in since-deleted edits.) Additionally, I've revamped several template series' into more uniform styles (for their series — this was back in the days before ambox, imbox, and cmbox), and I make the occasional comment at XfD discussions.

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 on August 22, 2006. (By the way, while there was a K07RE, it was actually a relay of the Alaska Rural Communications Service…)

How active I've been has constantly varied; sometimes I'm quite active, sometimes I'm not. Fret not, though — I'm not going away anytime soon.

(And yes, even my userpage has seen vandalism, even though I'm not one of the more high-profile editors. It's not something that happens too often, thank goodness.)

The featured picture and more
Guide to the above:
 * Monday-Saturday: The picture of the day from the list of featured pictures, and today's tip of the day for improved Wikipedia efficiency.
 * 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.

What can I do???
You can, if you want, 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 Wikisearch.

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

Fine print
I am not responsible for lost, stolen, or deleted articles, media files, categories, templates, redirects, pages of other types, prodded pages, 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 either {{subst:prod}} or one of the speedy deletion tags do not count in above. In short, I just make it clear if a page should go.) 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. 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). If you are not visiting this page from &#87;&#105;&#107;&#105; &#112;&#101;&#100;&#105;&#97; , then you are at a &#87;&#105;&#107;&#105;  &#112;&#101;&#100;&#105;&#97;  mirror, and you should be aware that you are not viewing an encyclopedia article, that the page may be outdated, and that the user to whom this page belongs may have no personal affiliation with any site other than &#87;&#105;&#107;&#105;  &#112;&#101;&#100;&#105;&#97;  itself. Please direct yourself to the real thing at https://en.wiki pedia.org/wi  ki/. 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.
