[edit] Vandalism
Hi Alex,
You might want to read WP:TALK before posting more comments on talk pages - you should always post at the bottom of the page rather than the top, to keep it in chronological order. Not a big deal, everyone has something to learn. You might want to look into WP:Popups if you are planning on doing a lot of vandalism reverts, makes things quicker. Also, when you are fixing vandalism, it may not be just a simple insertion of crap, often the vandal will delete useful text in the process. Make sure you go back to the last reliable contributor and revert to them so you can replace the missing text. It takes a bit longer, but much better for the articles.
You may also be interested in WP:ADOPT if you want to speed up your learning.
And welcome! Reliable contributors are always fantastic to have, and are in short supply.

- Might as well offer, since I started the ball rolling. Wanna be my adoptee? I'm happy to adopt but if you'd prefer someone else that is OK. WLU 21:54, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Adoption?
Hi Alex,
Sure, I would love to help you out! I have to say though, I've had a lot of school work lately so I can't guarantee I'll be around every day, though I do check back on Wikipedia at least once every two days.
I have noticed, however, that User:WLU above has offered you an adoption. I see no problem in having more than one adopter, of course, so if you'd still like me to participate I will gladly.
When you're ready to start, I guess you could create a user sub page, such as User:Alexhayes/Adoptee Stuff for example, so we may keep discussions separate of your user page. Please notify me of what you plan to do. :)
Looking forward to see some great contributions to Wikipedia from you! Happy editing! --RazorICE 05:50, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
- AH has not actually contacted me regards adoption, but I have no problem being a co-adopter either. However, judging by RazorICE's signature, he's probably the more experienced of the two of us - if you're going to go with just one of us, he's the cadillac to my chevy nova.

- Thanks cool, thanks for the heads-up. WLU 16:42, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
