From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is your adoption subpage, where I will teach and test you about Wikipedia. It is split into 4 parts - and I will add a short summary upon completion of each. The parts are as follows:

1. Editing
2. Policies and editing patterns
3. Miscellany - a lesson on whatever I think you need to learn.
4. User rights
