Adoption

Would you like to be adopted? Let me know which areas interest you here on WP and I might be able to help! A message on my Talk page is the best way to contact me. I am on UK time (GMT+0), if that is an issue. (aeropagitica) 16:03, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Looks like you contacted me around Dec. 31st. I've been busy with the Holidays and work. Yes I would like to be adopted. Not sure what that means yet. There is a lot to read here about this stuff. My main interests is portable video gaming systems. I own 22 different ones. I do have a general interest in video game systems, retro stuff being my first love.

OK, thanks for getting in to contact with me! I would recommend looking to see if there is a Wikiproject about your interests. There are a lot of videogame articles here, so there are probably other editors out there with similar interests and experiences to your own. Let me know if you have any questions or encounter problems and I will do my best to help you. Don't be afraid to ask questions, part of my job is to help you out so that you can help Wikipedia!

Adoption Request Template Removed

Hi there Retro machine

I have removed the Adoptme template from your user page, as you have been contacted by an adopter and have not been active on Wikipedia since. This has been done to help to decrease the load at Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user.

If you feel that none of the users that have contacted you so far meet your needs, then please add back the Adoptme template. Also feel free to contact me - Cheers Lethaniol 15:05, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
