Adoption

Hi,

I'd be interested in adopting you, I'm seeking a very ENTHUSIASTIC new Wikipedian who wants to learn about all areas of Wikipedia. My specialist areas are all aspects of Anti-Vandalism, Mediation Cabel and Abuse Reports. I'm a 17 Yr old australian bloke so if your interested drop me a line and come along for the ride :) I am currently developing a program for Adoptees so that you can walk out of your adoption with all the knowlege to survive on Wikipedia if you would like further information please feel free to contact me   «l| Ψrom3th3ăn ™ |l»  11:15, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

• Alright mate? I would be honoured to be adopted by someone such as you. I feel somewhat nerdy mentioning this, but do you play WoW? If you can think of something I can do, edit etc. to get me started, please tell me. Thanks. WillIreland (talk) 23:10, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

• Hi Willreland, I am pleased that you have accepted my offer. I do not play WoW, and i do not consider it nerdy you asking as for your adoption will revolve around things you either like (hobbies) or are good at (strengths). I however do play CS:S, Halflife 2 and many other FPS and squad shooters. I do play some RPGs (NWN, Diablo 2, Warcraft 3) when i get bored. So, what are your hobbies and what are you good at?   «l| Ψrom3th3ăn ™ |l»  01:20, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

• Thanks for your hasty reply. My hobbies? Whatever really, I just started driving and Four Wheel Driving is great, we just bought an old Nissan Patrol, 1990, I am going camping tomorrow actually, we have a place near Braidwood and esat of Canberra. I used to play counter-strike, but I was really crap compared to everyone else on the servers, so I either stuck to bots or didn't play, and I got a new computer and didn't install it, so it's been a while. I like to play computer games. During the holidays (when I am not breaking my balls on my prelim HSC course work) I probably spend like 100 bucks on computer games. Most of them don't work on Vista, and I reasoned that the more I buy, the more likely I am to find one that works. WoW works on my machine, so I will probably spend a few hours each week playing, not a major die hard fan, but I like it and have no plans to stop as it hasn't got boring yet. I like first person shooters like the Godfather the game and The GTA games, three and onwards. I don't have a console as it got stolen, and o I haven't got the fourth one yet, but I hope to buy one. I love to play guitar and I have been doing so for about five years, in fact, I just bought a new guitar today, a twelve string acoustic, which takes my total guitars up to three, I have a Gibson Les Paul standard, and a Yamaha acoustic. Thanks for your interest. WillIreland (talk) 03:58, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

• There are two un-offical kind of wikipedians, those who are here to contribute and those who are here to maintain. Contributors write articles etc. Whilst maintainers hunt vandals, do abuse reports, mark pages for deletion etc. Which one fancies you more?   «l| Ψrom3th3ăn ™ |l»  04:47, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

• Perhaps, and I assume it is, it is possible to do both. I think at this stage it would be good to be as well rounded as possible. WillIreland (talk) 09:09, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

• Of cource you can :) Im thinking of where to start you off......   «l| Ψrom3th3ăn ™ |l»  09:52, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

• I think that at this stage I would like to maintain. Although I have a vast knowledge of essentially everything (bar chemistry) I think it would be better to leave creating articles to those who want to at the moment. But I am still going to edit articles as I see fit. WillIreland (talk) 12:14, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

• You can do what you want, when i said two types I was trying to say I can usually fit an editor into one of two categorys. Ok, Lets get you on the raod to learning.
