[edit] Adopt-a-User
Hello User:Eley. I see you're looking for an adopter. I would be pleased to be that adopter, if you're interested; I've been on Wikipedia more than six months and have more than three thousand edits. I have quite a bit of experience in article development, dealing with Wikiquette alerts, and categorization. I also have some experience with the Articles for deletion process and a few other internal functions of Wikipedia. I am absolutely no good at making pages look nice, and I'm only passingly acquainted with uploading photos (and the various copyright concerns that go along with doing so), so if you plan on making these your focii, you might want to choose a different adopted.

- That's no problem; we'll do this at your pace. Just let me know when you're ready to start or if you have any questions in the meantime. Also, you might want to put {{adoptee|Sarcasticidealist}} on either your user or talk page, unless it would make you feel silly. I look forward to helping you out (and hopefully learning a little about Irish history from you, a subject about which I am woefully ignorant). Sarcasticidealist 19:01, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Eley - I see you haven't been on Wikipedia for a while. With that in mind, I'm going to remove the adoption banner from your site (and the corresponding one from mine). I'll be more than happy to resume the relationship should you return, but for now the banner is just sort of cluttering up my page without meaning anything. I hope all is well, and please do contact me if you return! Sarcasticidealist (talk) 07:30, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Invitation
Hello. You may have seen that some Wikipedia articles lack sources to given dates, timelines and chronologies.
If you feel that you could like to help in making all articles more reliable and well sourced in this regard, we would like to encourage you to use, as part of your daily editing and when {{fact}} is not enough for requesting clearly and specifically a citation or source for dates, timeline or chronology, the following inline tags:
- {{Histfact}} displays {history source needed} for requesting sources for historical claims and history context. Click here for more information
- {{Timefact}} displays {chronology source needed} for requesting timelines, dates and chronology sources. Click here for more information
At WP Timeline Tracer, we thank you for using these tools and for helping to make Wikipedia articles more accurate and reliable.
