Adoption

edit

Hi Dragongal. I notice you've put a "request for adoption" template on your userpage. Given the number of users starting on the encyclopedia each day and the number who look for adoption, there can often be a backlog when just displaying the request. You are much more likely to find an adopter if you are pro-active about it, perhaps asking an editor or two from the list of adopters if they would consider adopting you? Good luck in finding someone to help out. WormTT(talk) 09:32, 19 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Adoption?

edit

Hi Dragongal. I see you are looking for an adopter and I would be pleased to adopt if you are interested. As my name is derived from dragon it seemed somehow appropriate. I am not a technical specialist but I have considerable experience in general editing and article writing.--Charles (talk) 23:34, 21 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Yes Please

edit

Hello, sorry for the late reply I feel a little lost trying to work in Wikipedia - its seems so different from other things I have programed in.

Issues I am having right now (1) I created an article a couple months ago and it was denied. I asked why it was denied, was answered, but didn't have time to go over it then. Now I do have time to re-work it, but I cannot find the reply I got before. is it too late? (2) I put an image in wikicommons that shouldn't be open to the public, and have requested speedydelete. is there anything else I can do? (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Yrea250.JPG) (3) For the page I will be creating, I need that image uploaded, but am not sure the best why to do it.
