Welcome

I saw your post at the help desk, and just wanted to comment that Wikipedia's treatment of economic subjects is far less comprehensive than many other subjects, so I look forward to your involvement.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 15:21, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Glad that someone noticed my help desk entry! I hope to get involved in WP too. Thanks for the welcome!--Colonel House (talk) 22:46, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Dear Sphilbrick, I was going through my talk page, and remember reading your post. I am sorry I haven't been active here lately; school and other things have been killing me. But I promise to treat the economics articles to a revamp when I can. --Colonel House (talk) 22:52, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

Adoption

Hi Colonel House. I notice you've put a "request for adoption" template on your userpage. 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) 09:20, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
