| — Deckiller | Yes | Unavailable; all booked. | I'm an 18 year old administrator who has been with the project for nearly two years. I contribute all over Wikipedia, including topics such as video games, history, sports, music, and general fiction. I work on administrator duties every now and then, but my focus is on the encyclopedia itself, including revamping our coverage of video games and fiction so that we shift from a fictional database of in-universe information to a source of professional and concise coverage of all aspects of fiction - including real-life reception and influence. I am also an avid copy-editor. Primarily, I'm looking to help users interested in fictional areas, music, or sports; I'll explain the ropes, the tips, and what you can do to become a productive and respected user. If this sounds interesting to you, please view my userpage and its subpages for more! | I am available most days, usually at random times. At most, it will take me twelve hours to respond to any questions/comments. Although my timezone is EST, I'm often nocturnal, depending on the situations at hand. |
| DeLarge (talk · contribs · count) | No | Not currently adopting. Adoptee(s): Vertilly, Awesome Truck Ramp |
I've now been here for a year, working mostly on auto-related pages (esp. Mitsubishi Motors-related material). However, I spread myself around as much as I can, and I've found that I know my way around WP's policies and guidelines quite well. I'd hope that if someone came to me for assistance I'd be helpful, approachable, and a useful voice of reason. | I watch (though I don't necessarily edit) WP most days between about 0900 and 2100 GMT (0400 to 1600 EST). Less regularly at weekends, but I'm rarely unavailable for more than 24 hours. Informal assistance is also available via my talk page if you just need one-off advice, of course. |
| Dendodge (talk · contribs · count) | No | Current adoptee: User:Q5967 - I could easily handle more! | I'd be happy to adopt absolutely anybody, and doing so would hopefully rekindle my interest and increase my Wikipedia activity. | I generally edit Wikipedia from school, using my sockpuppet account, Densock. |
| Deryck Chan (talk · contribs · count) | Yes | Sorry, but we're full! Current adoptees: RanDawg, Edna H., Lauchuklam, Drahcir | Article-writing | UTC+8, semi-active with fluctuating online patterns |
| Dev920 (talk · contribs · count) | No | Currently have seven adoptees, of which six are only semi-active. I am therefore willing to take on people who want me in particular and any member of WP:LGBT, but people just looking for a random adopter I ask to give me a miss. | I write FA articles (five so far), |
I am willing to help or answer questions from anyone who contacts me, be you new or otherwise. |
| Dihydrogen Monoxide (talk · contribs · count) | No | (Almost) Always open! | This and that. Editing, using Lupin's tools to revert vandalism, helping out. I'm also on IRC a lot. | In Australia, so time zone may do some damage. But it shouldn't! |
| dgies (talk · contribs · count) | Yes | Full for now, but always available to answer questions. | I've done a lot of vandal-fighting, and I'm pretty experienced in technical matters, so if you need to know how to do something, I probably know or can find out. | Best way to get help is by leaving a message on my talk page. |
| Dister304 (talk · contribs · count) | No | I have one adoptee and 1 offer and I'm very busy. I might be able to adpot one more soon. | I mostly do the new page patrol and I sometimes fix articles. | If you need help or want to be adopted, ask me on my talk page. |

Heavily involved in copyright issues. I use rollback and a variety of scripts, including Twinkle and Friendly, but don't own a bot and I'm weak on template code. | I check my talk page and watch list several times a day. |
| download (talk · contribs · count) | No | Currently not accepting new adoptees. | On Wikipedia, I am active every day and work in a variety of areas. | If you need help, feel free to ask me to adopt you or ask a question on my talk page; chances are I have the answer. -download | sign! |
| Draeco (talk · contribs · count) | No | Now adopting! | I contribute most substantively to articles in medicine and political science, and some Spanish translations.

I'm a strong inclusionist and work mostly in the main namespace. | Message me to start. |
| Dreamafter (talk · contribs · count) | No | Cannot adopt. | Well, if you ever need to just ask a question, I am more than happy to answer it, and if you feel the undying urge to ask a whole bunch of questions, why not just ask the most important one, "Will you adopt me?". After that I can still answer all your questions. I have done a lot, and would probably be of most help to someone interested in WWII or Canada. | I do a lot of vandal hunting, with my Anti-Vandal Tool, a lot of page deletion checks, a lot of putting patent nonsense page up for deletion, and reverting vandals. |
| Drew R. Smith (talk · contribs · count) | No | Now adopting! | I mostly work with articles for creation, and as such will be able to help new users with their first articles.

I currently have two active adoptees: Xapis and Rkr1991. While I am not an administrator on this site, I do have the Rollbacker user right (verify). | My main interest at the moment is fighting vandalism with Huggle, though I also have experience at account creation. I also have a history of good speedy deletion work. My program has six optional courses: Vandalism fighting, HTML, communication with other editors, content building, WikiGnoming, and administrative tasks. If you would like me to adopt you, please leave a message on my talk page. Cheers! |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| ~~Eugene2x Sign here ? ~~ | No | Not enough time in a day right now to spend much time on Wikipedia. Hopefully, I could get on more in the summer... | I usually revert vandalism daily using VandalProof. Occasionally I make mistakes and revert "valid" edits, but hey, don't we all? I especially like to contribute to articles relating to Nintendo, particularly the Mario Kart series articles. I also contribute to articles relating to PCs, such as Microsoft Windows. Again, if you wish to be adopted, feel free to leave a note on my talk page. | Since I'm usually busy with other things, it may take a week before I receive a message. And I have this little habit of not replying, so if I don't send you back a message, that probably means that I probably refused your offer (no offense though.) |
| Eusebeus (talk · contribs · count) | No | Now adopting! | Wikipedian since May 05 so I know my way around pretty well and am happy to share my general familiarity with most areas of policy, practice and editing. | Leave me a note on my talk page if you wish to get in contact with me. |
| Eustress (talk · contribs · count) | No | Currently on Wikibreak | I love Wikipedia as it is a fun, enlightening, and convenient hobby.

| Evaunit666 (talk · contribs · count) | No | Now adopting! | i mostly start pages for weird video games. im probably one of the more understanding people on talk pages and never lose my head. i collect cool things on my user page that i can show you. i like to build up stubs no one knows about and make small edits. | personally, id choose me if you want someone nice and understanding. if youre cold and hate anything social, i could probably still help you out. im usually on around 8pm-12am, eastern time. |
| Excirial (talk · contribs · count) | No | One adoptee and three open offers. Still adopting, but depending on the question volume i might respond slower then usual. / Always open for questions. | Im mainly doing maintenance work, although i have some experience in creating articles.

I can also help with most cases of Wikipedia Syntax/Writing articles and questions about Rules and guidelines. | As stated, you can always ask me a question on my Talk Page, no matter if you want to be adopted or not :).

|
| Foxhunt king (talk · contribs · count) | No | Now adopting! | I'm a college senior, primarily involved in military and history articles, but I'm an expert when it comes to figuring out how to do things (as opposed to memorizing code) - in other words, I know a lot about methodology and how to use all of the resources contributors have. | I normally have Wikipedia open in at least one of my Firefox tabs, and probably average a few checks each day.

| Gimme danger (talk · contribs · count) | No | Now adopting! | I generally do gnomish things, but occasionally venture out into actual editing. I'm active in vandal patrol and the Tibet Wikiproject, with special interests in citations and referencing, assessment, and style editing. However, I've done pretty much everything there is to do at least once, so whatever you need help with I can either handle myself or point you in the right direction. As of now I've accumulated 10000+ edits. | UTC-5, if that's important to you. I'm a student and an insomniac, so time zones don't matter too much for me. |
| GreenRunner0 (talk · contribs · count) | No | One currently adopted, can handle more... | I've been around long enough to know how to get involved and what not to do. I mainly patrol for vandalism.

I don't know everything, but I'll do my best to answer the question. In case it matters, my time zone is UTC-5. |
| Hadger (talk · contribs · count) | No | Currently adopting users! Happy to adopt anyone who needs help! | I am an experienced user, and not only do I check out pages and edit them, but I really like removing vandalism on wikipedia. I am usually active whenever I can be active, which is very, very often. I'm also apart of the Wikipedia Typo Team, which I'm sure it is probably easy to tell what we do by the title (everyone probably knows this, but we correct typos, we don't purposely add them). I would be happy to adopt anyone who needs help! | I will also give advice on not doing vandalism if someone doesn't know if something they are about to do is vandalism or not. |
| Happy-melon | No | Hit me! (Not literally, please) | I tend to work on our large glut of fictional topics, but I'll copyedit anything that can't get out of the way fast enough! When fictional series spill over into AfD, PR or FAC, I'll be there too. | I'm here whenever you need me. |
| Hardtofindaname (talk · contribs · count) | Nope | I'm adopting now. :D | I work on a range of things; anti-vandalism, cleaning up stuff, and occasionally creating new articles.

I edit almost every day, if I'm away I will say on my talk page. |
| HarrisonB - Talk | No | Ready to adopt now! | I work on articles that interest me, such as automobile articles. I also occasionally partake in vandal fighting.

I specialize in background work (anti-vandal, deletion, templates, editor help, Arbitration Clerk), but certainly can do article writing as well. My lesson program is being used by several other adopters, and is available for use by others so long as you let me know beforehand. | Online most everyday, generally throughout the day. I attend college from August to December, and February to May. |
| Highfields (talk · contribs · count) | No | Got some adoptees, ready to help adopt more! | I have been on Wikipedia since December 2006 and have taken part of various aspects of Wikipedia editing, including creating and editing articles, fighting vandalism, and contributing to discussions. I will help any editor who requires assistance, however trivial, to the best of my ability, even if your not my adoptee. | If you would like me to adopt you, I would appreciate it if you would leave a message on my talk page and tell me a bit about what you plan on doing on Wikipedia but wherever possible I will seek out in the adoptee's area the adoptee's in most need of my help, nevertheless I'm always happy to help any number of people that need it, any time of the day (within reason!). |
| Hiltonhampton (talk · contribs · count) | No | Adopting now! act fast! | Hi! I am particular interested in someone interested in British/American television, modern celebrities. Also I can teach you how to source something, create a userbox, put a article for deletion. I can do loads more and I'm always learning new stuff so maybe by the time I get picked I'll have even more to add to my list of credentials! I am a Apprentice Editor. | Please contact me via my talkpage. I am online every single day, garrunteed, bar none! |
| --Hirohisat Kiwi | No | Currently not accepting any | I am a graduate of the adoption program, I sort of understand what I expect for the adoptees to ask me about.

| Intelligentsium (talk · contribs) | No | Offering adoption | I have been at Wikipedia for almost half a year now, and I feel I have gained enough experience to handle guiding one or two new users.

If I don't know the answer straight off, I will find it for you :). I can tell you what I use and what I've done to get where I am, and what I didn't do! | Active normally everyday, though some days activity will be limited. Will visit at least once a day though. Also available through e-mail and instant messengers. |
| Jade Knight (talk · contribs) | No (I am an admin on the Norman Wikipedia) | Adopting by request only | I've been around, first as an anonymous editor, and then as a registered editor, for 4+ years. I do some gnome work-interwiki links, spelling & grammar, checking citations, &c. Occasionally I'll make significant contributions and I frequently engage in discussion and consensus-building. I've been around the reference desk some, and I'm always looking for accuracy and neutrality in articles—particularly controversial ones. I contribute in various other ways from time to time, as well. | I'm active on the Norman Wikipedia, and very active at Wikiversity, but I usually stop by here at least once a day. I'd be happy to answer questions, or help wherever else I may. |

| Jayron32 (talk · contribs) | Yes | Now Adopting! | I am pretty good at negotiating the ins-and-outs of writing a good article. I am a frequent GA and FA reviewer, and have learned the ropes at Wikipedia quite well in the year I have been here. I am willing to share what I have learned with anyone who needs it. | I check in usually once a day, most days 2 or 3 times. I am quite an adict. |
| Jameson L. Tai (talk) | No | Full, but I will help anyone when needed. | I actively participate in WikiProject Robotics. I also do new page patrols, where I tag articles for speedy deletion, AfD them, prod, and other tags when and if necessary. I'm also a frequent Huggle user. I also sometimes poke my nose into articles where I understand/live around the subjects, like San Francisco, California-related articles, Melbourne, Florida-related articles, etc. I would like to help users settle into Wikipedia, understand his/her editing strengths and approach from there. No two editors on Wikipedia are alike. This creates a wonderful atmosphere for editors to grow in their own way...and I'd love to be the guiding hand. | Available almost everyday, unless I'm working/rushing on a project at school or I'm out of town. I'll generally be around at night around 8:00pm EST (U -5:00) as well as weekends.

| jj137 (talk · contribs) | Yes | Now Adopting! | I'm a sysop, and I work mostly with sports-related articles (but I will edit anywhere). I like to new page patrol, revert vandalism, along with many other tasks. I'm a very friendly user; even if things get heated I'm not going to start to yell or do anything inappropriate. | I am in the Eastern Time Zone, and online just about every day. |
| John Carter (talk · contribs · count) | yes | Now Adopting! | Don't have as much experience as a lot of others writing articles, although I tend to think I am a good copyeditor. Work primarily with WikiProjects, including creation, development, template work, etc. If you are an editor who would like to work with assessment, and possibly peer review, I might be of use to you. Primary fields of interest are biographical and religious content and related items. | E-mail or leave a message on my talk page. |
| jonny-mt (talk · contribs) | No | Now Adopting! | I edit a random assortment of video game articles, Japan-related articles, and whatever shiny thing happens to catch my eye at the time. Most of my work is behind the scenes, where I work on everything from policy discussions to newpage patrol to templates and images to welcoming new users. Hopefully one of those will prove useful :) | I'm on Wikipedia almost every day. My time zone is +9 (Japan). |
| Jw21/PenaltyKillah(discuss•edits) | No... | 1st-time Adopter, & open to all! | Nowadays, I deal with articles related or associated to digital audio players (which is MP3 players to you non-geeks out there!) You'll find me busy at iriver clix, SanDisk Sansa, Creative ZEN, and Comparison of portable media players. Thanks to being an avid hockey fan, I had updated stats on players' articles. Although I am trying to re-start it, I used to be a RC Patroller. Oh yes, I love making userboxes! | Killed no birds, but spared no ants. I'm usually available at my talk page, but adoptees must be responsible and considerate in a world of spammers, vandals, and sock puppets. I will try my best to hand down my few polished skills, as long as one can make the best use of it. If you don't test my patience, I won't test yours. My time zone's GMT -8 (or Pacific Daylight Time), btw. So get on the WikiBandwagon! |
| Jonathan (talk · contribs) | No | Full, but I will help anyone when needed. | I am pretty varied in my work. Mostly, I do vandal reverts, but I do have many encyclopedic contributions. I'm good with meteorology- and Nickelodeon-related articles. If you need any help in these areas, please do ask. | Email is enabled, and I'm on usually from 10 AM to 9 PM CDT (-5 UTC) |
| Jza84 (talk · contribs) | No | Adopting and available! (pick me!) | I have been editing the English version of Wikipedia since around December 2005. I am interested in (and thus concentrate on editing) the Geography of Greater Manchester, ethnic groups, map-making, and increasingly the United Kingdom and Britishness. | I am online nearly everyday (and more often than not, everynight!) in the Greenwich Mean Time zone. I believe I am a great mediator, have a sound knowledge of policy and think I could bring the best out of any adoptee! |
| Kayau | No | Now Adopting! | I think I've gained enought experience in these three months (Apr, May and Jun 2009) | I think I'm OK. |
| Kerotan (talk) | No | Available to adopt 3 users. | I spend lots of time at the helpdesk, making gnomish style edits (and some larger ones too) to random pages, and I have a general interest in most topics, including but not limited to, history, video games and geography and geology. I am on line most days, around evening sort of time UTC, some days longer than others. If a message on my talk page goes unanswered for 24 hours (which is unlikely), the chances are that I am not near a PC. I have already adopted one user, but in fairness, he not asked much of me. I do from time to time do the occasional vandal whack, which is mixed in with my other edits, as well as tagging pages and participating in disscusions. It fair to say that my field of experience of wikipedia is general. | |
| Karrmann | No | Now Adopting! | I have been editing for about two years, mostly on automobile articles. WHile my niche is in automobile articles, I am able to help any editor learn the ropes of how Wikipedia works no matter what their niche, as I am also flexiable and generally also add info to biographical and many other articles that I have information that I can contribute to. I am on Wikipedia every day, and will easilly be able to be there when my adoptee needs me. | |

Currently doing Durance and some battle in France that needs translation (not a particularly big one only Skinny up there would care.) I've about 4,000 edits but that's usually because it takes me at least three attempts to get it right. | Just leave a comment at User talk:SimonTrew. Alternatively just put "its" when it should be "it's", or the other way around, and I will hunt you down. SimonTrew (talk) |
