User:wwwwolf

	You can leave me a new message via my user talk page. This is the preferred form of contacting me over Wikipedia-related matters, because it allows other people to see what's going on.
	Contributions log - More or less fascinating stuff that's hopefully helpful in some sense, I guess
	Deletion log - If I delete something in error, please contact me and I'll see what I can do (or explain my deletion better).

Hello! Welcome to the pointless user page of yet another Wikipedia editor. I am Urpo Lankinen, often going in the 'net by the username WWWWolf or Weyfour WWWWolf. I'm a student, computer geek, writer and often an artistic person. I'm also a gigantic wikihead, and I also luckily blended in the landscape long enough that I was given a random mop to clean mess with. I don't edit in en.wikipedia much, but I do my best anyway!

There used to be a great deal much about random Wikipedia stuff here, but some of the stuff might be outdated and theoretical and needed some chainsaw treatment. I used to follow Wikipedia community development closely, but I have to say I don't really follow it that much, because the community was pretty damn divided and scattered. These days, I just do what's necessary, but not what's obviously harmful. Has worked before, will work in the future.

I award this Barnstar to Wwwwolf for helping me with St. Gummarus and saving me a lot of aggravation. --evrik 22:05, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

		The Minor Barnstar
		I went looking for your contribs for some unknown reason, and found that you do a lot of edits which are small in quanity, but high in quality. I award you the Minor Barnstar for all the little things you do around Wikipedia to help improve it, but not in the name of seeking recognition - akin to Wikignomes :D —Killfest2—Daniel.Bryant 10:59, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

		The Tasty Baked Goods Award
		Wwwwolf is granted this award in recognition of their efforts battling silly arguements and perservering in the face of lunacy. --Brian (How am I doing?) 14:52, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Admin stuff

I think the deletion processes in WP are broken and outdated, and the deletionists are doing more harm than good. Hence, these days, I've vowed to only delete blatantly deletable material – in other words, I'm only doing CSD deletions on spam and other newly written content that's unlikely to get off the ground in that state. I will not delete articles that have been around for a while, or content that might look like it would work by all community criteria (articles that are properly formatted and have at least some sources).

I also do the deletion recovery thing too. As the usual disclaimer these days goes:

If you need access to a Wikipedia article that has been deleted, ask me. If it's not a copyright violation, libel, or personal information, and has not been deleted as a suspected biographies of living persons violation, I will userfy the article for you.

Note that using the text to recreate any deleted article may automatically qualify them for speedy deletion, and copies of previously deleted content that are being used solely for long-term archival purposes may be subject to deletion as Wikipedia is not a free web host. The MediaWiki website has a list of wiki sites which may be used to host your content.

Spam me a message through my user talk page (link above), and I can do this. I need the original article title (note: I preferrably need the exact capitalisation and spelling; if unsure, you can provide me a with a link to the smoking crater where the article - until recently - used to be, or the article's log), and preferrably also the name where you want it copied to (if you don't provide this, I'll usually put it around User:YourUserName/OriginalTitle.)
