Adoption

Hi (: I just thought I would let you know that I am removing the adoption template from your userpage. The category's requirements suggest that someone deletes the userbox from the page of an inactive contributor. Your contributions page indicates that your few edits were made three months ago. The category exists to organize users seeking adoption and lists them in the order that they have been waiting to be adopted. It is more beneficial for the project to keep active users at the top of the list. Feel free to re-add the template if you choose to become active in the encyclopedia again. Thank you and happy editing! Ashley _{talkback} 20:58, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Kyle! I'm sorry if I caused you any grief in removing your name. I did a sweep of the list that day and removed any username which didn't appear to be "active" (there was no specification in the header on what qualified as such). I removed about a dozen names linked to accounts which had very few edits or hadn't edited for more than three months.

The adoption project certainly appears to be ideal for you and for me, although we are obviously at different stages of experience. I am glad to see your account is still active on some level and I'm proud of you for wanting to learn more!! I'm pretty eager to be adopted as well, but in the meantime, if you have any questions about the basics of editing, I will answer them to the best of my ability, or find an answer for you. I'm also willing to re-add your name to the list myself. (It will take a bit of tweaking of the numbers because the list is organized according to how long the userbox has been on a userpage). Let me know what you think! (: Ashley _{talkback} 18:58, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you so much for understanding :D I just want to be helpful to the site, and do something with my free time that is productive. I don't feel nearly qualified to edit large articles, but I'm most interested in doing little "clean-up" or maintenance projects that other people would find mundane. Thanks for your time Specter (talk) 17:59, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi again. I just wanted to let you know I re-added the adoption userbox to your userpage. I also tweaked the numbers so that you would regain your position on the list of adoptees. (: Hopefully, adopters will come by soon and pick you up. Don't forget, though, that I'm willing to help you in the meantime. Happy editing! [Ashleyy|osaurus] 18:11, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Adoption offer

Hello! Since you've been inactive since April 4th, I've removed you from the seeking-adoption category. If you still wish adoption, please feel free to re-add the {{subst:dated adoptme}} template to your userpage. (Or drop by my talk page if you want me to adopt you). xenocidic (talk) 21:05, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
