你好! Hello, I'm Ancient Apparition - formerly Fridae'sDoom. I've been a Wikipedian since November 2007 and an active editor since June 2010. For complete transparency I ask that all messages go on my talk page, however, for private or urgent matters please email me.
I am an adopter in the adopt-a-user program, those interested in being prospective adoptees should look here, then inquire on my talk page.
Content
I'm an active participant in the articles for creation process and when I have time, I create articles or contribute to existing ones, these are best/major contributions:
Fomitopsis quercina is a species of mushroom in the order Polyporales. Commonly known as the oak mazegill, among other names, its specific epithet refers to the oak genus Quercus, upon which it frequently grows, causing a brown rot. It is found in most of Europe, following the pattern of oak distribution, and has also been reported in northern Africa, North America, Asia and Australia. The mushroom features pores which form a maze-like appearance. Though inedible, it can be used as a natural comb and has been the subject of chemical research. This F. quercina mushroom was photographed growing on a tree branch at De Famberhorst, a nature reserve in the town of Joure in Friesland, Netherlands. The photograph was focus-stacked from 21 separate images.Photograph credit: Dominicus Johannes Bergsma
Many users like to create user subpages to store various bits of information such as welcome templates or other information. For example, if you are drafting a new page that is not ready to "go live", or proposing major changes in redrafting an existing page, a user subpage may be very useful.
To create a subpage simply visit your User page and then append the name of the subpage in your browser's URL bar. For example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:CoolDude would become http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:CoolDude/MySubpageName. When you press the ↵ Enter key you will be prompted to create the new subpage.
If you no longer need a subpage, or wish to have it deleted, you can mark the page with {{db-owner}} or {{db|reason}}.
To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{tip of the day}}

The Featured Sound Barnstar
For keeping the FS process running and going above and beyond the call of duty I award you this barnstar. --Guerillero | My Talk 17:01, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
The MOTD Barnstar
I award the MOTD Barnstar to Ancient Apparition for helping to keep our project "alive" during this difficult time. Without you and your so precious help and contributions, we all probably would have seen the end of this project. A BIG THANK YOU!!! –pjoef (talk • contribs) 19:38, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
The Excellent User Page Award
Really cool, colourful user page. Well done! Oddbodz (talk) 09:37, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
A Small Graphic Designer's Barnstar
Your redesign of the adopt-a-user page is worthy of recognition. Great job! SwarmX 05:15, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
The Featured Sound Main Page Proposal Voter Barnstar
I was truly humbled by the overwhelming community support for the recent proposal to place featured sounds on the main page. The proposal closed on Tuesday with 57 people in support and only 2 in opposition.
It should take a few weeks for everything to get coded and tested, and once that is done the community will be presented with a mock up to assess on aesthetic appeal.
Finally, I invite all of you to participate in the featured sounds process itself. Whether you're a performer, an uploader, or just come across a sound file you find top quality, and that meets the featured sound criteria, you can nominate it at Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates. Featured sounds is also looking for people to help assess candidates (also at Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates.)
For your excellent work in the October 2010 Wikification Drive, you are awarded The Wikilink Barnstar! Thanks for your work! Ⓢock 03:57, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

The motto of the AIW is Conservata veritate, which translates to, "With the preserved truth".
This motto reflects the inclusionist desire to change Wikipedia only when no knowledge would be lost as a result.
The motto of the AWWDMBJAWGCAWAIFDSPBATDMTD 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.
On 25 July, 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article DirectHit, which you recently nominated. If you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
