Adoption

I would be happy to put you into my adoption program if you are interested. reply here or simply write under this message to reply yes or no! Thanks & Happy Editing! Marx01 ^{Tell me about it} 02:30, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

I apologize for posting twice on your page, I don't know what happened. Anyway I'd be happy to adopt you! I'm going to set you up with your own program immediately since you seem relatively new. this is the link to your program page! I'll post tasks you'll need to complete to "graduate" and some you can do if you want just to bulk up experience! Please add that page to your watchlist. Thanks!

Just a few notes! (Nothing bad!)

I looked over your test, which I am happy you completed, and will personalize any articles I specify in tasks to fit your interests. Also about what you mentioned about this might be a phase, I went through the same thing a year ago and just didn't edit for a long time. Although people might try and coax you back on if your decide to leave, it's cool. I personally am addicted to Wikipedia now, but it might pass within the next month. Just want to put that out there. Nice job on the links! Marx01 ^{Tell me about it} 22:40, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

I did the optional task on good article structure as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Marx01/Adoption/Good_articles

Coolio! As a reward, I can make you a personalized userbox! Please tell me wht you want it to be about and I'll make it for you!Marx01 ^{Tell me about it} 23:45, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

What's a userbox? I suppose I would want it to include my screen name, quotes, pets, location, last place traveled?

Next Task

What do you want to learn next? Marx01 ^{Tell me about it} 04:03, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Good question. I guess the next thing I'd like to know about is procedure. I hesitate to edit existing pages, because I don't know how long they'll go without being looked at. Also, I haven't done anything with pictures yet; not really sure what the rules are with that, especially concerning copyright and stuff. I'd like to put the Nabholz logo on the page I made, but am not sure how to go about doing it.

Barnstar!

		The Business and Economics Barnstar
		I awards this barnstar to Wedgiey1 for their contributions to Nabholz Construction, and raising it to a B-class from scratch. Good job! Marx01 Tell me about it 18:39, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Tasks

I apologize for the unfortunately brief explanation of the answers. I wanted a link the the article, not the site being referenced. However since all of your edits were to one article you're cool. Just remember that in case I forget later =D. Marx01 Tell me about it 02:38, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

A userbox is put on you page to show your personal opinions, religious causes, favorite foods, ETC. Go here to learn more about them. And just tell me what you would like your personal one to look like. Marx01 ^{Tell me about it} 02:41, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, how about 'Wedgiey1 loves beer and adventure' With a beer mug icon on the left and something adventurous on the right? Like a sword maybe; lol! Do you have a personal userbox?

Coolio I'll have that to your today. Actually, I have somewhere around fifty or so, two of which are mine completely (the Poly high school one and the Bassoon one) You need to scroll down to the end of my colored userpage to see them, and click the [show] to show them all. I don't organize them particularly but I like to have them there. If you want one not by me at any time, go to the userbox gallery at the bottom of this page. I'll make that one though because I've never seen it. Also I'll be starting you on your next task soon. Marx01 ^{Tell me about it} 22:40, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

If you want anything changed do not hesitate to ask. Without further adieu, YOUR USERBOX:

To put it on your userpage copy and paste {{User:Marx01/Beer and Adventure}} onto your userpage where you'd like it. Hope you like it and don't hesitate to ask for a revision! Marx01 ^{Tell me about it} 23:18, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

I like it! Can the background color be different though? Maybe a goldish or light blue? Not sure what would look best; goldish might blend with the beer.Wedgiey1 (talk) 13:16, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Whoops! Just noticed my username is misspelled! Wedgiey1 not Wedgey1Wedgiey1 (talk) 13:17, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Alright I'll try the blue first. If you would like any color, you can pick from the List of Colors article. I can't believe I misspelled your username! I am setting a bad example for my adoptees! Marx01 ^{Tell me about it} 21:21, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

How's that? Marx01 ^{Tell me about it} 21:25, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

I like it! Is there a way to make the color behind the mug blue too, or no? Also, I'm gone for the long week-end, so don't expect any updates from me until Tuesday.Wedgiey1 (talk) 14:31, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I cannot turn the backround for the mug blue because the person who uploaded the photo made it so it was cropped horizontally. So when I attempt to color the backround blue, it shows a black box which does not look very good. You can click on the image to see what I'm talking about. Sorry! BTW left you a message on the References task. Marx01 ^{Tell me about it} 02:29, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Essay and your Extra credit prize!!!!!

Thank you very very much for the wonderful essay! The reward I was alluding to was a userpage update! Please look over this and this and give me specs on:

• Color
• Type
• Style
• And either your title changed (like mine) to fit your liking or a Personalized Banner ACross you top screen!!!!!

Happy Editing!

Marx01 ^{Tell me about it} 23:54, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Wow, this is a tough one. I like the way yours is bordered.

• Color - #00CCFF
• Type - Just the Standard Article type I guess
• Style - Is Video Game Fantasy a style? lol
• I like the font of your name, but I'd like to see what Engravers MT looks like w/ my name.

Thanks! Can we do images next? Wedgiey1 (talk) 14:59, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Alright! Your userpage should be constructed within the next few days! Also: By type I meant Like would you want yours like my main area (the colored part) or something else you see. I'd give it 2-3 days, since I'm really busy this week! Also remember that if you ever want to learn about something (in this case images) feel free to wander but directly ask me so I can create a task for you! :D Happy Editing! Marx01 ^{Tell me about it} 22:33, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Hey Wedgiey!

It's still there. It also already has an open task, but I will get you started on images as soon as possible after you complete the task. I will look through your article right after I finish some issues I am having with Cpiral. I skimmed it and it looks very nice. Happy editing! Marx01 ^{Tell me about it} 23:51, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Saw the new task. You say to look at this very extensive list of stubs, but I see no link. Tried searching wikipedia for a full list of stubs, but haven't found anything yet. I can find them for various wiki projects though, so I may do that... Wedgiey1 (talk) 16:20, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
