| User-multi error: "Deckill" is not a valid project or language code (help). | 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've now been here for a year, working mostly on auto-related pages (esp. Mitsubishi Motors-related material).

| Dev920 (talk · contribs · count) | No | Currently have seven adoptees, of which six are only semi-active.

I am willing to help or answer questions from anyone who contacts me, be you new or otherwise. |
| 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. |

| Figureskatingfan (talk · contribs · count) | No | Currently have one adoptee. | I've been on WP for almost 2 years, and am totally addicted.

| 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. |
| GorillaWarfare (talk · contribs · count) | No | Now adopting! | I'm a vandal fighter, for the most part. I use Lupin's anti-vandal tool and Twinkle to revert vandalism. I also can be found patrolling the new pages or welcoming new users. I don't usually contribute content, but rather prefer to stick to maintenence-type things. See my user page for more info about me. | UTC-5, if you care, but I'm generally on Wikipedia every day. Being a student, I tend to be up late, especially on weekends. |
| 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.

| Guyinblack25 (talk · contribs · count) | No | Open for new adoptees. Currently have three Adoptees, but two seem to be inactive. | I generally hover around the topics that I'm knowledgeable about/interested in, which has been video games lately.

I have a good handle on wiki markup and have experience with FAC, GAN, creating templates, mergers, and splitting articles up. | I'm normally on Wikipedia frequently, and am available for questions. 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 (talk · contribs · count) | 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. |
| Harland1 (talk · contribs · count) | No | Now adopting! | Work in all areas really: vandal fighting, article writing (generally WWII/WWI and other military history articles) are the main ones, I hope I can answer your questions and help you out, with around 4000 edits I think I'm fairly experienced. | GMT if that makes a difference. I edit almost every day, if I'm away I will say on my talk page. |
| Hersfold (talk · contribs · count) | Yes | Not at this time, I'm currently mentoring another user. | All-around editor. 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!). |

| Intelligentsium (talk · contribs · count) | 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.

There is rarely a day that I don't come on at least for an hour or so, and typically I am on for 3-4 hours a day. |
| Twinzor (talk · contribs · count) | No | I have one adoptee, but I could take on another one as well. | I'm a WikiGnome. I spend most of my time in Wikipedia on WP:NPP and WP:RCP, but I'm also part of the Welcoming committee, and a member of the Wikiproject Geographical coordinates. I've also helped out with Disambiguation pages with links. | I'm around pretty much everyday, and even if I'm not editing there's a good chance I'm lurking, and will reply quickly to questions posted on my talk page. I can offer help both in English and Finnish. |
| Useight (talk · contribs · count) | Yes | Now Adopting! | I'm a member of WikiProjects Nintendo, National Football League, and Latter-Day Saint Movement. I work at UAA, AIV, speedy deletions, and I am an avid New Pages monitor. Also do lots of Wikignoming. | I edit Wikipedia every day, so I'll always be available to answer your questions. Feel free to contact me on my talk page. |
| Willscrlt (talk · contribs · count) | No | Now Adopting! | I am most interested in helping people who are struggling with templates, variables, and magic words or are interested in cross-wiki sharing of information. I have over 4,300 edits here and more than 6,000 edits across all the various wiki projects (Commons, Meta, and Wikibooks primarily). I am very calm, friendly, open minded, and work well with people of all ages and cultures. | I'm always happy to help people if they run into any problems (it doesn't have to be related to templates), so if you need help please leave me message on my Talk Page or send me an e-mail. |
| Wisdom89 (talk · contribs · count) | No | Now Adopting! | I am a highly active user who concentrates on the improvement, monitoring, and maintenance of music and science related articles. I have modest to high experience in speedy deletion, WP:AFD, patrolling and anti-vandalism. | I am available almost all week, highly on the weekends during the afternoon. But feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. |
| WLU (talk · contribs · count) | No | Various casual adoptees, willing to take more | I'm a wikigrazer, lately doing citation templates and vandalism reverts. I've been involved in arbitration and mediation. I'm sometimes guilty of biting and this is my penance. Interests are pretty broad and I'm a good copyeditor. | I am very happy to help to the limits of my knowledge. I check my watchlist several times per day, though my actual time on wikipedia varies considerably depending on the day. |
| wyatt915 (talk · contribs · count) | No | Now Adopting! | I mostly revert vandalism and correct spelling and grammatical errors, but if an article spikes my interest, I will work to make it better. | |
| xeno (talk · contribs · count) | Yes | Though I am a fairly hands off adopter, I'm available most days to answer questions. | A perennially lazy admin who tries to pass the buck as often as possible. To my credit, I do run two bots and am familiar with AutoWikiBrowser and somewhat with python/the pywikipedia framework. Fairly gnomish - not the best person to ask for help with substantive article editing. In conclusion: probably not your best choice. | As you're nearing the bottom of the page, you're obviously an adoptee with distinguishing tastes. As the only adopter with a username beginning with X, I feel I bring something truly unique to the table. |
