Adoption Process

Hi Animalgaura,

I have removed the adoption templates from you userpage as these are to be used for WP:ADOPT use only i.e. used when a mentor takes on a new user for tutoring not to show any social connection with a user (in Wiki world or the Real world). As a new user you may want to add '''{{Adoptme}} if you yourself want to be Adopted. If you have any questions or issues please leave a message on my talk page.

Adoption Complete

Hi Animalgaura,

Okay on your brother's request I have adopted both you and him, but I do so on the following provisos - do not put the adoptee/adopter templates back on you userpages.

About Adoption - okay you can ask me any question you like whether about a technical or procedural feature of Wikipedia. When you want to ask a question leave a message on my talk page and I will answer on yours. Okay look forward to hearing from you. Cheers Lethaniol 23:51, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Survey

Hi Animalgaura!

I have put together a survey for female editors of Wikipedia (and related projects) in order to explore, in greater detail, women's experiences and roles within the Wikimedia movement. It'd be wonderful if you could participate!

It's an independent survey, done by me, as a fellow volunteer Wikimedian. It is not being done on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation. I hope you'll participate!

Just click this link to participate in this survey, via Google!

Any questions or concerns, feel free to email me or stop by my user talk page. Also, feel free to share this any other female Wikimedians you may know. It is in English, but any language Wikimedia participants are encouraged to participate. I appreciate your contributions - to the survey and to Wikipedia! Thank you!
