Adoption

Hello, Sgt SalsaMan! I'm Chris the Paleontologist, and am currently looking to adopt. I've been here for almost a year may be able to help you find your footing in Wikipedia. If you're interested, just reply on my talk page. Thanks! Chris the Paleontologist (talk • contribs) 19:23, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for replying. The links above are probably a bit overwhelming, so here are the most important ones (taken from a much simpler welcome template):

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Manual of Style

I'd take a look at these first. Please ask me if you need any help, or if you have any specific questions. I'll be able to guide you along with editing and creating articles, etc. Cheers! Chris the Paleontologist (talk • contribs) 20:05, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
