[edit] Adoption

Hello, thak you very much for your message. I was just wondering how I would go about being adopted by a more experienced user. I am very interested in helping Wikipedia greatly in its development and integrity.

I'd be grateful for any response and/or advise.

Hmmm. If you go to Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User there's information there. However - if you'd like me to give you some pointers, and to answer your questions, I would be willing to do that. SilkTork *^YES! 19:06, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Projects

A good way to get involved is to join a WikiProject. Projects are made up of individual editors and do vary in quality - but the better ones are very useful in giving guidance on how to edit articles in your area of interest. I note you like sports, so it would be worth having a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Sports. There are also Projects for individual sports: Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory/Culture/Sports - so you could join a few of those. Wikipedia:WikiProject Football for example, which has guidelines on how to write articles on club teams, players, competitions, etc. Take a look. SilkTork *^YES! 19:15, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
