Adoption Request

Hi. I see you have requested adoption and I am seeking to adopt. Please take a look at my userpage and see if I am a good fit to be your mentor. If you agree to be adopted by me, then let me know on my talk page by clicking the "+" symbol at the top of the page and letting me know. If not, I would still be glad to answer any questions you have at any time. Welcome to Wikipedia! --MECU≈talk 15:49, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Adoption

Here[1]is what you should read first. It has some basic stuff you should know. Also, so you do not vandalize articles without knowing it I will tell you what to not do.

• Deleting all the content on a page
• Put nonsense in pages
• Putting your POV in pages
• Advertising
• Editing other peoples user pages unless you are reverting vandalism
• Anything you think may be against wikipedia guidlines and policies don't do.

For the most part if you use common sense you will be fine. God bless.--§Sir James Paul<<--wikiholic§ 16:56, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

I am going to start off by teaching you the basics and then I will teach you more about policies and guidlines. If you ever have any questions please ask me. Have a nice day.--§Sir James Paul<<--wikiholic§ 19:09, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

• Are you asking how to start a new topic in big letters? If so press the big A at the top and put your writting in. To make a link to another wikipedia article you press the A b button. To make a external link press the globe. --§Sir James Paul<<--wikiholic§ 19:59, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

What kind of wikipedian do you want to be? A vandalism fighter, a article maker? It will help me out a lot if you tell me. Each kind of wikipedian needs to know certaint things and if I know what you want to be I can teach you better. Thanks. God bless.--§Sir James Paul<<--wikiholic§ 18:44, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

• Good, first you need to know more about the basics though. Next week is when I'll start teaching you what you need to know to fight vandalism. God bless.--§Sir James Paul<<--wikiholic§ 21:40, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

First of all read what is in the welcome. Read all the links in it please. ALL the basic things you really need to know are in there.--§Sir James Paul<<--wikiholic§ 04:55, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
