Hi! I noticed that you are seeking Adoption. Are you still seeking someone to adopt you? Dusti^*poke* 18:33, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Yes i am, would you be interested? Birdstothewind (talk) 07:20, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For some reason, I forgot to watchlist your page!! In any sense, yes!! I will be setting up an adoption page in your userspace here. It's a red link now, but later on today it should turn blue. Add that page to your Watchlist and we'll communicate on there. Dusti^*poke* 16:37, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay then, I will add it to my watchlist, thanks :) Birdstothewind (talk) 09:19, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Adoption offer

Hey, sorry to break the news to you, but the offer that offered you adoption has vanished and is no longer available on Wikipedia. If you would still like to be adopted, it's best to request adoption again. If you have any questions or need any help, feel free to message me on my talk page.

Hi, thanks for letting me know! I havent been around for awhile so I actually didnt notice. I'm just about to put up the adoption request again now, thanks! :) Birdstothewind (talk) 05:01, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Adoption offer

Hey, sorry to here about what happened with your previous adoption. I noticed you were interested in designs so I assume you would like help designing your user page? I would be more that happy to help with that. But apart from that if your interested in a certain topic, would like to help with infoboxes or photography I am willing to adopt you! :) User:Aviation.expert 22:35, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, that sounds great. I like those areas and I pretty much know basic editing so it will be good! Birdstothewind (talk) 07:49, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So do you know the basics of info boxes and wiki commons? Aviation^Expert · (talk) 08:49, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I know about info boxes, like where to find them and how to put them onto a user page, but I dont really know much about wiki commons. Birdstothewind (talk) 07:47, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, well commons is where you upload your images. Obviously they cant be copyright and if its not your work must complete with information. Ok in my opinion flikr is the best place to find non copyright images as you can select in the advanced search section that you want creative commons images they must have one of these logos to be allowed on wikipedia http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&uselang=fromflickr <--- look there for logos. Ok so when your putting the images on wikipedia you can eathier put them in an info box, on the page or in a gallery.


When your putting them in an infobox (remember to put thumb or sizepx
| logo                   = [[File:filenameeg.jpggg|thumb]]
When putting them in a page (
[[File:Example.jpg|thumb|right/left]]
And in a gallery (no need for sizes)
<gallery>
File:Example.jpg|Caption1
File:Example.jpg|Caption2
</gallery>

And by the way do you have twinkle on your wikipedia? Aviation^Expert ✈ (talk) 11:01, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay then, that makes more sense than I thought it would! The only thing I don't get is how to get the pictures from Flickr to the commons, its probably really simple but I cant use the right click save way on Flickr. I don't think I have twinkle either, I have no idea what it is actually to be honest.Birdstothewind (talk) 11:50, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, lets start by putting an image into a gallery, try this flikr image and put it into the eddie stobart ltd gallery http://www.flickr.com/photos/darren_hall/5622059805/ just right click it click large then right click and download. If your stuck on uploading just comment back Aviation^Expert ✈ (talk) 12:24, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay I get it now! I just uploaded the picture which is located at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Eddiestobarttruck.jpg if you wanted to check it or anything. I put it in the gallery at the bottom of the Stobart Group page as well. Birdstothewind (talk) 07:31, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent! Whats your favourite wiki subject? (This will help to set next task Aviation^Expert ✈ (talk) 09:18, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I like music related subjects the most. I was wondering too with copyright, if a picture on Flickr is okay to be uploaded here without infringing copyright but it has people in the picture, would it still be okay to upload or would you need permission from the people in the picture? birdstothewind 09:20, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Great, I will find a task for you shortly. And as for Flikr is it your own picture that you uploaded on to flikr? Sorry couldn't reply earlier my broadband went off. Aviation^Expert ✈ (talk) 12:32, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Its not my own, its one I found using the search method you told me about, the author of the image has placed the some rights reserved tag on it. birdstothewind 12:36, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I see no reason why not if it has a tick on this http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&uselang=fromflickr its fine :) Oh and im just looking at creating some userpages for you ;) Aviation^Expert ✈ (talk) 12:54, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome Page

Hello, It dosnt matter if you dont want it but I made you a welcome page - User:Birdstothewind/welcomepage. It could replace the current userpage then the page youre creating now could be the about page? Let me know if youre interested Aviation^Expert ✈ (talk) 13:25, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here is a user page I have design using your user boxes if you decide to use it you should change to latin gibberish to an about you section http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Birdstothewind/about also I have seen some of your contributions and have decided that the next lesson I was planning is not needed. If you like I will tell you how to make a userbox? Also I have set up archiving so thinks posted on your user page over 7 days old will be moved to an archive (please dont remove top code, feel free to remove the userbox though.) It may take a while for it top begin working though Aviation^Expert ✈ (talk) 14:47, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thats awesome! It looks so much more co-ordinated than anything I have ever been able to do! I will have a better look at it later tonight when I'm home, but thanks so much! birdstothewind 01:38, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I just looked through it all properly, its really good! Thank you so so so much for doing this, I've always found it so confusing. I will probably move the design over to the main user page as I want it to be the first thing thats seen, and I cant get my signature to redirect to the about page. And as for the next project I would like to learn how to make a userbox :D birdstothewind 07:18, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
