Adoption

Yes, I can take on another adoptee - I've got two at present but one's away for the summer and the other hasn't edited since I adopted her... Feel free to add the appropriate userbox (see WP:AAU) to your userpage, then let me know what I can do to help. Regards, Bencherlite ^Talk 09:57, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, what do you help with, I know how to edit,link, cite references etc do I really need to waste your time?--GOD 12:40, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

With one previous adoptee, CA387, he used to pose me questions and I used to try and answer them. Some adopters have a series of "tasks" that they set their adoptees such as reverting vandalism, or participating in deletion discussions (e.g. articles, categories). With another adoptee (still nominally "under my wing", I started off with a review of his edits to date, but mainly because he seemed to be on the silly side and needed a "talking to" to calm down. Whatever you want, really: if you want to use me as a reference desk for questions about Wikipedia, or to look over edits you make, fine; if you want "tasks", I'll find some. I suggest you find yourself a WikiProject or two in your areas of interest and see whether they have tasks that you can help with. Generally, WikiProjects will tag the talk pages of articles within their scope, making it easy to find who looks after which articles. Not sure how active I'll be over the next few days, but I'll check in when I can. Yours, Bencherlite ^Talk 12:55, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good --GOD 07:49, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, is there a way to change my links to say orange instead of blue so that they stand out more?--GOD 12:49, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You mean the general links to e.g. the main page? I think the choice is limited to blue or a "?" (see "My preferences") but choosing one of the other "skins" may change it. I haven't heard anyone talk about anything other than blue links and red links, though. Bencherlite ^Talk 12:55, 7 July 2007

When can we start? Your choice on whether (a) you want me to set you some tasks or (b) you want to do things, whether as part of a WikiProject or not, and then ask me to review what you've done or ask me questions as they arise. I think (b) is a good way, as you get to do what you want. I don't think that adoption should be "childminding" or "spoonfeeding" as everyone will have different approaches / interests and what works for one person may not work for another. If you don't feel like creating a new article, which is often difficult, then trying improving what's already there. Suggestions would include fixing disambiguation links Wikipedia:WikiProject Disambiguation or joining in the WP:BIOGRAPHY summer drive to assess the quality of unassessed biographical articles. I'm afraid that real life means I'll be on WP very little this week, but do what you can and I'll try and look in briefly every day. Regards, Bencherlite ^Talk 15:53, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I would like to partcipate with WikiProjects, do I just find one which I am interested in and then see what I can do with the articles? --GOD 09:33, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes - some Wikiprojects have a "to do" list, or a current collaboration project, or a list of articles that need to be created / improved... you get the idea. If not, then browse around until you find an article that needs improving or expanding! And don't be afraid to ask for help or suggestions at the WikiProject's talk page - new members for projects are always welcome! Bencherlite ^Talk 07:40, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Help the Environment and save the ozone layer!

You're right — the article is rather silly. However, it's generally preferred that, if a page is marked for speedy deletion, you don't remove content. When an administrator comes to deal with the page, they can more easily see the context of the tag (in this case, the CSD for nonsense was the justification) rather than having to dig through the page history.

OK I have also done this to Badasser I shall just add a tag or leave them as they are in future. --GOD 09:18, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and I should probably point out that the exception is with {{db-copyvio}}, where you should replace all copyrighted content with the tag. Angus Lepper^{(T, C, D)} 10:20, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks --GOD 10:21, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fluence

Hi. As I've been working for a time on the small community Nahuatl Wikipedia I maybe have forgotten also to place the summary here; there is irrelevant as so few changed per hour are made. Sometimes, I mark minor edits without a sum, such a error from myself but I'll hope be more careful now onwards. Thanks for worrying and happy editing!--Fluence 16:22, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

STFU and stop trying to be funny

I am you You are me our suckpuppetry will not escape the eyes of wikipedia

GOD bless

Your signature

Hi, I couldn't help noticing that although your username is FM07GOD, you sign as "GOD", which is a probably a little inappropriate per Wikipedia:Username#Inappropriate_usernames. There was a relevent discussion when another user chose that as his/her username (see User talk:GOD). Therefore, I might suggest changing it back to your full username, or perhaps asking to have your account renamed. Thanks. Bob talk 15:18, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Bob, nice to meet you. I do not see any reason to as many people have user names which are the names of famous people, I do not need to look at Wikipedia:Username#Inappropriate_usernames, it is a complete waste of my time. Next time please take a look at users like, for example David Underdown--David Underdown, you see? --GOD 15:34, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
