FAQ

[edit]
  • When did you join Wikipedia?
I joined February,15,2015.
  • Were you ever adopted?
Yes, I was adopted by User:Missionedit.She is very good mentor.
  • How will I know if you go on holiday?
If I take a break from editing (longer than a few days), I will place a big notice on this page in addition to notifying all of my active adoptees personally. I hope that if you go on a break, you will notify me as well.
  • What if I want to take a break from lessons?
If you need to take a break from editing Wikipedia, whether for personal reasons, or you just want to try to recover from Wikipediholism :), that's fine with me! Everyone needs a break once in a while. However, please leave me a message on my talk page and/or in your adoption classroom to let me know if you're leaving for a long period of time.
  • What happens if I forget about lessons?
If you forget your lessons [which sometimes happens, real life can be distracting :) ], after a week, I will send you a reminder. If you still don't respond, I'll continue to send you gentle reminders. If you don't respond within 2 weeks to my reminders, you'll be listed as inactive on this page. However, you are still welcome to start up your lessons again anytime.
  • What do you do on Wikipedia?
Rather than being a writer of articles, I work more in the area of maintenance tasks, such as cleaning up spelling and grammar, reviewing new and changed articles for problems, and fixing poor reference formatting. I also enjoy helping newer editors at places like the Teahouse and Articles for Creation, and encouraging more experienced editors by giving them barnstars and thanking them for their hard work. I usually don't edit articles of a specific topic, like some editors do, instead, I usually just hack away at backlogs, which are lists of articles with the same problem. I have a decent education in computer coding, so I can get around Wikipedia fairly easily.
  • Is there a specific adoption course plan?
Not really. There are some necessary subjects that should be covered in an adoption course, just like colleges have to teach some necessary subjects, like math and science. However, in college, you do get to choose whatever you want to major in. Similarly, instead of using a strictly laid out course, I try to play to the interests and strong suits of my adoptees. When I feel you have learned everything you need to know, you will graduate.
  • When will I graduate?
You will graduate when I feel that you have learned all you need to know to justify graduation :) An adoption course usually takes between 6 and 12 months to complete, depending on how much time we put into it. Don't be afraid to graduate earlier or later than originally estimated--everyone learns at a different pace. Your exact graduation date is up in the air, again depending on how much time both you and I commit to your lessons.
  • What if I'm graduated and still have questions?
My door is always open to adoptees, current or graduated. If you have questions about anything, I'll do my best to answer. And if I don't know the answer, I'll try to direct you to someone who does.
