Adoption

Hi, I see you're looking for an adopter :) I'm available, have a lot of experience, and like many here, am a programmer (although I prefer writing prose). ··gracefool☺ 12:51, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

How does this adoption work? If I have questions could I leave them on my talk page or do I put them on yours? I'm happy to read things, but I often read many articles and don't find an answer, then I guess and sometimes my edit sticks and sometimes it doesn't. What other things do adopted / adopter wikipedians usually do? By the way, I'm a programmer too, so it would be nice to be adopted by one :) Ultrasaurus (talk) 05:47, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Yeah I saw that, that's why I mentioned it :) I haven't adopted anyone before, but it's like any mentoring thing... Leave questions either place, or we could have a separate page if you like. ··gracefool☺ 10:53, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
