Sammie-chan

Hi there:

I am an English Wikipedia user of some experience, and I see that you are looking to be adopted by an experienced user. As I live in England, we would not have the time zone problems that many mentors have, and I would be happy to adopt you. I have, for the moment, sent you our standard welcome message (below). Left-click on the blue links to get much of the basic information about wikipedia. If you would like me to adopt you - which is not binding, you can always change - send me a message on my tallkk page, and I will amend the userboxes. Therafter, of course, use me as the first line of enquiry; that is the idea and basic concept.--Anthony.bradbury 21:39, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Adoption Request

Hi. I see you have requested adoption and I am seeking to adopt. Please take a look at my userpage and see if I am a good fit to be your mentor. If you agree to be adopted by me, then let me know on my talk page by clicking the "+" symbol at the top of the page and letting me know. If not, I would still be glad to answer any questions you have at any time. Welcome to Wikipedia! --MECU≈talk 15:49, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Request for adoption

I see that were requesting adoption. Would you like me to adopt you? If you want to find out more about me, see my user page. You may also want to look at my description on the adopters' page. If you want me to adopt you, click the "edit" button to the right of the section heading of this message, and type below that you want me to adopt you. Please end your message with 4 tildes, which will sign your username and the time you replied.. (~~~~) TeckWiz^TalkContribs_@ 18:21, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Adoption

I am delighted to be asked to adopt you, which I will happily do. I will amend the userboxes on your and my pages after sending this message. I do not suppose that you will ask stupid questions, given that stupid is not the same as basic, but if you do I will be happy to answer them. I am on line every evening, except when on holiday, so leave a message any time. As we share the time time zone I will normally answer straight away, although I note on your user page that you can stay up until 4 am, which I do not guarantee to do!--Anthony.bradbury 21:39, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Getting lost

Hi there; I have not heard from you, and wondered if you had got lost, as you said you had some skill in doing. Directions follow in baby-talk; if you know this, my apologies.

To contact me, left-click on my name, which apears in blue at the bottom of this message. This will take you to my userpage. Left-click on "discussion". Left-click on the "+" which sits between "edit this page" and "history". In the little text-box which appears at the top of the text-page, type in a short title for your message - "help", "adoption", "problem", "happy new year" or anything at all that you want to use as a header. Then left-click on the "tab" key, which is the one on the left of the PC keyboard above caps-lock, with the two arows on. Then type away all you want. Do not forget to sign off with four tildes - ~~~~ - when you are finished. happy wikying.--Anthony.bradbury 23:41, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Navigation

It's a big, strange world in Wikipedia when you first start, but if you log in regularly in a week or two you'll be zooming around as if you owned it. Trust me. Meanwhile, you've now found me, so any questions, feel free.--Anthony.bradbury 23:18, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Adoption

Hi there; you have not, it appears, found the need to ask any questions, and I assume that you no longer need to be adopted. Unless I hear from you, I will remove the userboxes. Please feel free to ask me for help in the future.--Anthony.bradbury 00:33, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
