When the article starts to breakdown the different components of Mergers and Acquisitions, I like the first sentence under the header "Acquisition" which also provided a reference. [[User:KentView|KentView]] ([[User talk:KentView|talk]]) 05:59, 2 October 2017 (UTC) |

Adoption.
Hi! I noticed you were looking for a user to adopt you. I guess I will be able to help you, if you want. Best regards, Cheers, FriyMan Per aspera ad astra 12:35, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
- Would love your help FriyMan Per aspera ad astra! What are the next steps? FULBERT (talk) 18:23, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
- Well, do you have something specific, that you need help, or do you just want to go over the basics? Cheers, FriyMan Per aspera ad astra 19:46, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
- @FriyMan: Thanks. I would appreciate some help learning how to determine an approach to editing. For example, just edit what I already know something about or in some other way? Wondering how to identify those areas and then wondering if there are any checklists or steps or the like for how to start. Right now I have just edited a few things I know and then watch those areas for any other changes. Not always sure how to reply or discuss if I do not agree with other changes others make (does not happen often, but it has happened. Thanks! FULBERT (talk) 19:57, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
- Ok. Let's move the discussion to my page - User:FriyMan/AAU/FULBERT. I will help you there. Cheers, FriyMan Per aspera ad astra 20:29, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Guidelines
I have received your mail: If you like the guidelines on my user page you can just copy them to your sandbox or user page as I did some years ago. I use this list very rarely because I have collected a chaotic list of guidelines in my sandbox which I believe to be useful. Alternative list: [1]. You may also ask more experienced editors at the wp:teahouse. They have specialists for every question. JimRenge (talk) 15:54, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

Adoption
I have the reason to believe, that we are done with your adoption. Do you need any more help? If not, I will change the template on your userpage. Thanks, Cheers, FriyMan Per aspera ad astra 06:05, 31 August 2017 (UTC).
- Thank you, FriyMan (talk · contribs). I have been steadily trying to learn more and appreciate your help. Can you help me with 2 other things? I want to better understand how to set up my User: page but cannot figure out how to navigate the templates. For example, I want to have some text (like here) with the couple user boxes I have stacked in a table on the right on top of each other. The three I have are next to each other. The other thing relates to shortcuts with editing and this coding. I often need to do a Google search to find a Wiki page with how to use Edit coding, and wonder if there are any shortcuts / templates that link to the commonly used links to these things. Thank you. FULBERT (talk) 12:14, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
- To stack userboxes, use a template Template:Userboxtop and Template:Userboxbottom. If you need help with setting up this table look how I did it:
*{{Userboxtop}}* {{User Wikipedian For|year=2016|month=12|day=7}} {{Adopting}} {{adopter|FULBERT}} {{User wikipedia/WikiBear}} {{user delete}} {{Journeyman Editor Userbox}} {{User:Tkgd2007/Userboxes/My time|+3}} {{User:UBX/Communist}} *{{userboxbreak|toptext=Projects}}* {{User WikiProject Spam}} *{{userboxbreak|toptext=[[Wikipedia:Babel|Babel]]}}* {{User ru-N}} {{User en-3}} *{{Userboxbottom}}*

- For help on editing, I suggest you visit Help:Editing. It is a general guide on editing. Under the section titles, it has templates like "See also" and "Further Information". Those links contain a lot of useful info and tips on editing. I suggest you read them. Cheers, FriyMan Per aspera ad astra 19:26, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks @FriyMan:. I think I was able to do that on my User page. Difficult one that was; appreciate your guidance!! FULBERT (talk) 01:11, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
- @FriyMan: While I am a lifelong learner and can always use my help, support, and guidance, I suppose it may be time to close my adoption. Hoping we can work together again in the future!! Many thanks for everything!! FULBERT (talk) 01:14, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you very much. You were a great adoptee! Thanks again. Cheers, FriyMan Per aspera ad astra 05:48, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

Message from Monica about Week 2 assignment
Hi Prof.
I chose to review the page called "Research". Here is my answer to things that distracted me:
I don't care for the phrase "stock of knowledge" in the definition of research. I think of a "stock" as something that is be used/consumed and then is depleted. I don't this of bodies of knowledge working that way, so using the word in this way doesn't fit my thinking.
I don't like the phrase "several forms of research" followed by a long (more than several!) list of inconsistently selected areas. This sentence could benefit from the using an existing system of classification like Dewey Decimal with its 10 classes. Yes, I did just look this up on Wikipedia! ;)
Thanks for listening! MMMcS--Monica 17:18, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
