I'm usually around every day, so feel free to drop me a message. I haven't been active on Wikipedia for a while now. I may be accepting more adoptees in the future, but don't place any bets on it.

Currently accepting adoptees Current Adoptees: godofthewiki (talk) I mainly focus on Anti-vandalism and RCP here on Wikipedia, so if you'd like to be a admin or something someday, choose me. I've never written an article as writings not my thing, so if you're going to be a WikiJournalist, don't choose me! Not currently available Current Adoptees: Uncletomwood File:Phanatic head.jpg Go Phightins! (talk) I have been around for about two years and have experience in a variety of areas including the Teahouse, Articles for Deletion, and vandalism reversion as well as numerous other Wiki-Projects, mostly related to sports, but in other areas as well. I graduated an adoption course a while back and it was beneficial to me, so I thought I'd give back and adopt someone (or many people) myself. I've completed my my adoption school; a few past adoptees help me out with administrative work allowing me to take on additional adoptees. If you'd like to be adopted, you can either email me or contact me at my talk page. Thus far, I've had two adoptees graduate, about five disappear, two quit, and three in progress. I am currently taking one new adoptee...I have experience with users coming off blocks, brand new users, and users who have been around for a while but just want to further their skills.--Go Phightins! Not currently available Current Adoptees: GorillaWarfare (talk) I have been editing Wikipedia since 2006, and have been an administrator here on the English Wikipedia since 2010. I consider myself to be pretty knowledgeable about Wikipedia's policies, and am happy to help new users.

Sometimes, I participate in deletion discussions. I would be happy to adopt anyone who needs help, including but certainly not limited to those who are subject to topic bans and other sanctions, those who have been blocked, and those who are involved in dispute resolution.

Not currently available Current Adoptees: TattØØdẄaitre§ Avinendra Jackson Peebles (talk) On Wikipedia, I focus on Counter-Vandalism and adoption as well as on greeting new users, encouraging civility, and obsessively reviewing recent changes and new pages, though ClueBot NG is better than I am. I'm a major proponent for using Wikipedia on campus via the Education Program, in which I am a instructor, reviewer, and rollbacker. In an effort to encourage transparency, I have had my true identity confirmed by Wikimedia, as demonstrated at this Wikimedia diff. I am also leading the Video Tutorials Project and view my adoption program, which is based off of that of Go Phightins! and Worm That Turned as the most rigorous standardized program on Wikipedia.

Not currently available Current Adoptees: File:Tiggerjay.jpg Tiggerjay (talk) I have been a contributor on Wikipedia since 2006 and spend the majority of my time combating vandalism, helping out new users, working through dispute resolution and conflict of interests. My approach is to understand where you are coming from and where you want to go with your wiki-authorship/experience. I will ask a lot of open ended questions, and help direct you to the best resources available. I have been around a long time, but still don't know everything. I will periodically review your edits (if that is what you're looking for) to help direct you towards your goals.
