Your question about adoption

edit

The basic way to go about being adopted is to add the text {{Adoptme}} to your user page. Many adopters are very eager and look through that list on a regular basis; they can offer you adoption by changing the {{Adoptme}} to {{Adoptoffer}} and letting you know on your talk page.

I don't look through the list often myself, but I'm on Wikipedia daily. If you think our interests are similar (based on my user page, or maybe my contributions), I'm certainly free enough to help you get used to the workings of the site. If you'd rather find another adopter, you can still feel free to ask me questions anytime. Hope this helps. Dekimasuよ! 13:22, 8 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

I'm not really into metal, but if you can do it, I will say by all means go for it, for the love of music...looks like you've got a lot of work to do though, it is currently being considered for deletion. --Osbus 02:39, 21 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

WikiProject Sociology Newsletter: II (April 2010)

edit
Sociology ProjectNews • April 2010
Spreading the meme since August 2006

The Sociology WikiProject is conducting a roll call (or min-census, if you prefer). More then five years down the road, we have over 50 members, but we don't know how many of them are still active in the sociology area. If you are or want to become once again an active contributor to the sociology content on Wikipedia, please move your name from the inactive to the active list on our roll call (or add yourself to the list if you haven't joined yet!).

In other news, we have reactivated the newsletter :) At least, for this announcement. We also have a new, automated to do listing, an active tag and assess project (which has identified about 1,800 sociology articles on Wikipedia, and assessed about 1,3000 of them), and three new userboxes for your self-identification pleasure :) On a final note, I highly recommend watchlisting the Wikipedia:WikiProject Sociology page, so you can be aware of the ongoing discussions.

You have received this newsletter because you are listed as a recipient of WikiProject Sociology Newsletter (Opt-out). • signed

WikiProject Sociology membership

edit

You are listed in the Category:Wikipedians interested in sociology, probably due to the use of "This user is interested in sociology" userbox, but you have not added yourself to our official member list for WikiProject Sociology. This prevents you from, among other things, receiving our sociology newsletter, as that member list acts as our newsletter mailing list (you can find the latest issue of our sociology newsletter here). If you'd like to receive the newsletter and help us figure out how many members we really have, please consider joining our WikiProject and adding yourself to our official member list. Thank you, --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 13:24, 26 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
