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
AWWDMBJAWGCAWAIFDSPBATDMTAD

The motto of the AWWDMBJAWGCAWAIFDSPBATDMTAD 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...
I think I think too much. That's why I drink!
