WP:ADOPT

Hi there,

As a current Adopter with the Adopt-a-User program there has been some ongoing developments that we would like to bring to your attention.

A new Adopter's Area has been created where you can find useful resources and other Adopter's experiences. Please feel free to add any resources you may have found useful as an Adopter, as well as recount any experiences that you think may help others. If you know of any useful resources for new users / Adoptees then you can add them here.

Also the way the adoption process works has changed slightly. To decrease workload at Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user, on offering adoption please change the {{Adoptme}} template to {{Adoptoffer}} on the user's user page, and this will add the user to Category:Wikipedians having been offered adoption. Users that have already been offered adoption can always have a second or third offer, but by separating out those users that have not had an adoption offer yet, it is hoped that no one will go lacking.

Furthermore numerous Adopters have been adding their details to a list of users available for adopting, to offer a more personalised service and allow new users to browse through and pick their own Adopter. The quickest way to adopt though, is still to contact users at the Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user.

Finally - thanks for all your hard work, keep it up - and if you have any general questions or suggestions about the further development of Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User please bring them to our talk page. Cheers Lethaniol 13:58, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Happy Wikipedia Day!

Happy Wikipedia Day!

On January 15, 2007, Wikipedia turned six-years-old. According to statistics, Wikipedia has around 1,500,000 articles and Wikipedians have made 104,000,000 edits. The millionth article was Jordanhill railway station, created on March 2, 2006.

Wikipedia has moved from an Alexa rank of 20 to a rank of 12 having already briefly visited rank 8 (current rank). Happy editing!

I hope I'm not too late

Hi there, I hope I'm not too late, because I don't know what time zone you are in, but Happy Birthday! And thanks for the Christmas greetings. --Kyoko 03:13, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello!

Hi Randfan! Long time no see! How are you? I happened to be in town (not that I ever wasn't in town) and was wondering if you would review me. Thanks! Ninety^{wazup?Review me} 22:00, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Wow!

Wow! I just realized it was your birthday! Sorry if it's late, for I don't know what time zone your in. Again, long time no see! Have a very Happy Birthday!!! Ninety^{wazup?Review me} 22:06, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello (again)(again)

Sorry if I'm bugging you! I also just saw that you got a blank message containing the WP:PJAA userbox. I got that same thing, and still haven't figured out what it was about. Do you know anything about it? If you do, could you let me know? Thanks!! Ninety^{wazup?Review me} 22:10, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

O.K., I think I'm almost done, but I felt I should leave one last (but maybe not last) message, and that is about that video that you have on your userpage (the one that says that it will make my computer suck). Is it from that starry night astronomy software, because I seem to recognize it. I have that software to! Ninety^{wazup?Review me} 22:18, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Novels newsletter : Issue IX - February 2007

The Novels WikiProject Newsletter Issue IX - February 2007
Project news The month has been a quiet one for the project with little obvious interaction, although editors have been very busy working on article improvement, recategorisation, and assessments. The Short story task force have been slowly adding staff and working mostly in the early stages to tag existing "short story" and "short story collection" articles. Member news The project has currently 204 members, 13 joined & 1 leavers since the last newsletter at the start of January 2007 Other news The Short story task force now has 6 participants, do join in if you have an interest. Also do let us know if other Task Forces could be established. Auto list news NovelsInCompleteInfobox worklist has been worked through, mainly due to the efforts of Jask99; it has now only the most difficult to complete. Please give it a look and if you can complete an infobox, please do. We should soon get a rerun with the latest article additions generated courtesy of user Eagle. Current debates East of Eden copyright infringements? is the latest debate that could do with input. Worklist "Projectified" List of literary works with eponymous heroes List of literary works with eponymous heroines These two lists have been culled from the main Wikipedia but others thought they would serve as a good worklist for the project to use as article hitlist, so they are here for your pleasure.	From the Members Welcome to the ninth issue of the Novels WikiProject's newsletter! Use this newsletter as a mechanism to inform yourselves about progress at the project and please be inspired to take more active roles in what we do. We would encourage all members to get more envolved and if you are wondering what with, please ask. Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk), Initiating Editor Collaboration of the Month The Collaboration of the Month is . This months Collaboration has been selected by popular vote and is Midnight's Children. Don't forget to place you votes and nominations for this process. Newsletter challenge Last months Fictional locations challenge was met by the user Loom91 (talk · contribs) with a modest start that rapidly got expanded a short stub that survived tagging for deletion and then expanding by a number of editors to something quite useful. Along the way it got (correctly!) renamed to Fictional location. The first person to start the article is mentioned in the next newsletter. This month's article is P.D. James - A Taste for Death.
