[edit] Adoption
I believe that you will make a responsible editor and have a commitment to Wikipedia. I will adopt you. Sr13 (T|C) 17:29, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you! Right now I'm reading through the policies and will ask you for your opinion before I start editing the 'biased page(s)'. One question: I asked you to adopt me on your talk-page and you replied on my talk-page. For keeping track on questions and answers (with indents) it is probably better to keep them on one page? Do you prefer your page or my page? Or do you prefer a 'split-approach': my writings on your page and yours on your page? OldCar 03:32, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- I usually write on the other person's talk page, as to make it more convienient for the other person (the person would not have to check my talk page again for the response). Of course, there is no right way to respond to questions; some want to keep the discussion in one place, some prefer the way I respond. What is your preference? I will follow whichever solution you perfer. Sr13 (T|C) 04:56, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- Hmm, I'd say it would definitely be convenient to keep a 'discussion' in one place, so that's my preference. But since you're the one putting an effort in adopting me I think it would be fair if I put my questions on your page (and check there regularly for answers). OldCar 11:58, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Challenge-response spam filtering
Sensible changes IMHO. I made a few tweaks. Hope you like them. I'm searching for cites for the one I added ... richi 21:05, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
