Articles I'm currently working on
- None
If I need help, I'll turn to Help:Contents.
Sometimes I'll use the {{inuse}} template as follows when wikifying an article: {{inuse|a short while to [[Wikipedia:Glossary#W|wikify]] (format) this article as suggested in the [[Wikipedia:Guide to layout]] and the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style]]}}
Articles I'm going to work on
- None at present

Articles I've wikified
This section has now been moved to User:TheJC/Wikification.
All pages I've contributed to
- See contributions page which shows all major and minor edits I've made in the main namespace.
- Use Interiot's Tool2 to see a breakdown of my contributions.
My Proposals
This section is links to things I've either proposed or suggested that can make at least 2 articles better. It also contains links to discussions I've contributed to that I want to find quickly. Note: This section will undoubtedly get long, so will get archieved occaisionally.
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Malware Regarding expanded guidelines for the project.
- SpyBouncer Regarding recatagorisation from Category:Spyware removal to Category:Adware Agreed: Recatagorise.
- Template:Inuse went up for TfD, and one of my suggestions was to rephrase it to something similar to User:TheJC/Inuse (Template:Inuse's talk page) It was Rephrased to something similar.

Child pages
This section contains links (in hierarchy format) to my User sub-pages. Note: bold links identify pages that have sub-pages.
Contact details
Note: I go over what I've typed several times before hitting enter (or clicking on "Save page") and think too much when typing. Therefore, I'm not slow in responding/answering you or ignoring something, it's more of a case of me being too careful about what I type.
Social Media
- Tweet @WatfordJC.
IRC
You can usually find me on DALnet in channel #Windows95 helping people. My nick is usually JAWC, TheJC, The0ne, or MI6 - JAWC being the one I use most of the time.I'm usually on Freenode in #TheJC - I'm also sometimes in ##Windows, #wikipedia-en and #wikipedia. I usually use my regular nick TheJC or my alternative JAWC (J[a]WC when I'm busy/away).
Website
- If I'm not active on Wikipedia, you can visit John Cook UK and leave a message for me there (that is, once I stop procrastinating and getting around to setting up the contact section).
Talk page
- Obviously, you could always leave a message on my talk page - there are a few requests at the top of my talk page regarding general formatting (it's pretty basic, and is there purely so I can respond to messages/comments/discussions quicker.

- Under current rules, public posting of IRC logs is not allowed without the permission of the other parties involved. As long as I am identified to NickServ and my registered freenode nickname has not been dropped since I wrote this (27 June 2006), you may publically post anything I've said in a channel (this excludes private notices and private messages, however does include CTCP messages and CTCP replys). However, if my account has been compromised, or what I have said has been changed in the log, or something is taken out of context, or I request something I type not to be quoted, you may not publically post it without my express permission.
