User:Nick Moyes/Adoption/Clovermoss

This is the adoption page for User:Clovermoss who 'graduated' in December 2019. Discussions between us can be found on the related Talk Page.

NOTE: Automatic notification alerts for edits you make does not function on user sub-pages. So, it is important to remember to 'ping' or 'reply to' me and to sign each message before you post (publish) it. Use either one of the following methods: {{ping|Nick Moyes}} or {{reply to|Nick Moyes}}. As I currently edit from a mobile phone without email, I do not see watchlist messages to say you've replied, so I could well miss your post unless you ping me every time.
