Adoption

I noticed you had an "adoption" tag at your user page. I'd be willing to adopt you if you're interested. SwisterTwister talk 02:28, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Cliffatsea. I've removed the "request for adoption" template from your userpage, as you have had two offers of adoption. Given the number of users starting on the encyclopedia each day and the number who look for adoption, there can often be a backlog when just displaying the request. You are much more likely to find an adopter if you are pro-active about it, perhaps asking an editor or two from the list of adopters if they would consider adopting you? Good luck in finding someone to help out. Worm^TT(talk) 09:19, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Adoption

Hi! I see you are requesting adoption and so would like to offer to adopt you. Myself and my replacement/assistant, RexRowan have an adoption school, which can teach you all the basics of Wikipedia. We believe the adoption course is a great beginning to your Wikipedia life and User talk:RexRowan, who has completed the course himself, will happily tell you how useful the course was.

The adoption school contains a series of 10 lessons, each focusing on a different aspect and with a short test at the end of each. The lessons are then followed by a final exam.

Should you be interested in getting adopted, please read this Code of Honour, then return here and press the button below, filling in USERNAME with your username with out the User: prefix. This questionnaire gives me an insight into you and allows me to adjust the course should I need to, so please fill it in.

Also, please drop a line to say you are interested either below this message or on my talk page at User talk:Adam mugliston.

Thanks,

Adam Mugliston Talk
