Hey Badgerzilla! This will be our discussion page for your adoption. Ask any questions you want by placing a question in it's own section, by titling the section using the format ==title here==, and then putting the question right below it. Please don't erase answered sections, as I would like to keep them. If this page becomes big, I'll archive some of it. So that you know when I answer your questions, please hit the "watch" button that's to the right of the "edit this page" button at the top. Whenever the page is updated, it will appear in your watchlist. --TeckWiz^TalkContribs_@ 00:01, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Basics

I don't know if you've read it yet, but some of the basic things can be found here. Feel free to ask me about any of it or to ask me about anything else. --TeckWiz^TalkContribs_@ 00:11, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Changing Title

I was random page patrolling, and found this page. Follow the link-if it can be cleaned up (assuming it isn't speedy deleted) it needs a title change. How would you go about this, and what course of action do you recommend in general?Badgerzilla 23:45, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

To change a title, look at where it says edit this page at the top. Somewhat to the right of it, it will say "move". Click on it. Read the page. Then, where it says, "to new title" enter the title you think is right. Leave a short reason for the move (like an edit summary). Then click move at the bottom. This will move the page. As for the article, it looks like merging is the best option. But, until then, just move it for now. --TeckWiz^TalkContribs_@ 02:04, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Famous Vandals

I've been seeing the names in wiki namespace a lot, so what did, for example Willy on Wheels do? It's just been bugging me. He alone gets mentioned about as frequently as Dear Leader Jimbo.Badgerzilla 04:56, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Willy on Wheels was (or is) a famous vandal for his page move vandalism, which can't be reverted by AntiVandalBot. He would move pages to "[page name] ON WHEELS!". I believe no bot can revert this, so everything had to be done manually. He used I think over 1,000 sockpuppets in the process. Also, please try to keep these questions to a minimum. Instead, ask about things like how to use Wikipedia and its rules. --TeckWiz^TalkContribs_@ 12:24, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion Policy

I've read up on deletion policy, but I sill don't have a very good compass. So, does this article, in your opinion, merit deletion?Badgerzilla 03:31, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

The article looks almost like an ad, and it was the user's only edit. It may actually be the person herself. It doesn't seem notable, so I say it merits an AFD --TeckWiz^TalkContribs_@ 20:30, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
