My adoption program is based off of that of Go Phightins!, who originally adopted me. Over time, I plan on implementing it into the Video Tutorial Project as well as the Education Program with interactive scripts and operating it off of Wikimedia Labs in HTML5, a long-term project.
This course is an introduction for Western Michigan University and any other students to Wikipedia and the basics of some of the many options that users have at their disposal. It primarily addresses how to communicate with other editors (of all statuses) and how to edit pages. I am thrilled to be able to incorporate the Adopt-a-user program into the Education Program, allowing users to make positive contributions to the encyclopedia itself while learning its inner workings. I plan on continuing this course with gradual developments for some time. Enrollees must be simultaneously enrolled in my adoption program and course.

- Original Authority (talk) 10:30, 16 August 2013 (UTC) I want to learn the basics of creating and expanding new articles, citing sources, and also communicating with other wikipedians...I found out about your program at the adopt page, you did leave me a message before about editing, so it felt right to ask you. didn't I answer the last question in the first question?
