Consider Adoption...please.
Hello, Willscrlt. I was just wondering, I am fairly new to Wikipedia and would like to know more about it. If you would consider adopting me, once you have decided please contact me via my Talk Page.Thanks. Chameleon3322 02:29, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- I don't actually have special needs it's only when I'm editing and I don't know if what I'm doing is wrong or I don't know how to do a specific task. That's when I need someone to go to and ask, and I'm really hoping that would be you. Chameleon3322 21:00, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
Hello Willscrlt, um... Could you adopt me?
Hi! I was just wondering, would you mind adopting me? In the Wikipedia Adoption thingy obviously, not as a parent or anything. I've been with Wikipedia for a while, but I haven't really done a lot except grammar checks and some small other stuff.
This isn't something I've entered into lightly you know. I've been looking round, and you seem to be the most suitible. I was so freaked out when I read you have Scottish and Irish descent. I have too! And you're in California as well. My dad has an uncle that lives there, and is of Scottish and Irish descent. Okay, I know, it's probably not you... but still, it is pretty cool. Oh, I'm a book-lover too. :D
Um, the first thing I need help with is how to unprotect a page. I was reading somewhere that you can protect pages, and I protected my userpage a while ago, just to practise... and now I can't find the page that had information on how to unprotect it so it's kinda stuck.

Yay!
Hey, Thanks for adopting! I'm so honoured... really, I am. I never knew you could email people, that's weird. Okay, from this point on, no posting potentially sensitive information on Wikipedia talk pages.
Oh, and I worked out the Protected thingy a different way, or at least I think I did. It was kinda a mistake really, I was trying to show you off to the world by adding a userbox saying you adpoted me and I came across this Template:Sp... something or other at the top of my userpage and deleted it. After saving, I checked and my page was unprotected. I think it is anyway, the padlock's gone. Is it unprotected now? Or do I still need to do those steps you sent me?

By the way, I have long periods where I'm online, and equally as long periods where I'll just randomly disappear for what seems like eternity. Please don't be upset or offended if I don't reply to anything, I'm not ignoring you :D
And one last thing, Happy Belated Christmas and Happy Belated New Year.
Sounds tasty...
Thanks, but I probably can't get involved in a WikiProject for a while yet. I'm about to embark on some "hardcore revision" before my final exams. Oh, I'll be off to uni next. Can't wait. :D
Anyway, let's keep to topic of the Wikipedianess. User pages are not personal profiles, you know. I see you're already in the Ice Cream WikiProject anyway, lol. I'm going to put one of those boxes on my page too, mainly because I do just love ice-cream (there's this chocolate stuff in Sainsbury's, omg, it's lovely, seriously. You have to try it. It's like Hagan-daaz[sp], but at a much cheaper price).
Anyway, I'll be offline till Thursday I think. Sorry. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by O2mcgovem (talk • contribs) 23:07, 29 January 2007 (UTC).
- Yeah, I signed up with the Ice Cream WikiProject (and created the userbox for the project, too) after mentioning it on your talk page. Good luck on your exams. I'm sure I'll be around here still when you return later this week. Have a good one! --Willscrlt (Talk·Cntrb) 23:39, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Forgetful me
I completely forgot to report the vandalism done to the St. Ignatius of Loyola article, and to add the template on their talk page. Hopefully I'll remember that for my next (I hope it's not too soon) encounter with vandalism. On the other hand, I made my first revert (I think)! I understand the whole reverting thing. Wow, I'm not exactly a low-maintainence adoptee am I? Aside from that, Thank you so much for helping me!. You've been a great mentor, teacher, adopter, whatever you want to call it, you have been awesome.3322 17:49, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
- Your revert was perfect. No problem about the forgetting it. It's a process, and there are several steps. No worries. That's why this is a community. We help each other out and we work together to resolve problems. --Willscrlt (Talk) 10:51, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
I saw you were adopting
I just joined Wikipedia today, but ive been looking at it for a long time. If you still have some spots open, Can you adopt me? :D
