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)Reply

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)Reply

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)Reply
