| Danielspencer91 (talk • contribs • count) | No | Adopting now!. | On Wikipedia, I spend a lot of time on cleanup, cleaning up articles. I'm also a bit of a joker (see my Userpage!) | I may be offline for long periods due to a busted PC but I will have a new one soon!. |

| — Deckiller | Yes | Unavailable; all booked. | I'm an 18 year old administrator who has been with the project for nearly two years. I contribute all over Wikipedia, including topics such as video games, history, sports, music, and general fiction. I work on administrator duties every now and then, but my focus is on the encyclopedia itself, including revamping our coverage of video games and fiction so that we shift from a fictional database of in-universe information to a source of professional and concise coverage of all aspects of fiction - including real-life reception and influence. I am also an avid copy-editor. Primarily, I'm looking to help users interested in fictional areas, music, or sports; I'll explain the ropes, the tips, and what you can do to become a productive and respected user. If this sounds interesting to you, please view my userpage and its subpages for more! | I am available most days, usually at random times. At most, it will take me twelve hours to respond to any questions/comments. Although my timezone is EST, I'm often nocturnal, depending on the situations at hand. |
| DeLarge (talk • contribs • count) | No | Not currently adopting. Adoptee(s): Vertilly, Awesome Truck Ramp |
I've now been here for a year, working mostly on auto-related pages (esp. Mitsubishi Motors-related material). However, I spread myself around as much as I can, and I've found that I know my way around WP's policies and guidelines quite well. I'd hope that if someone came to me for assistance I'd be helpful, approachable, and a useful voice of reason. | I watch (though I don't necessarily edit) WP most days between about 0900 and 2100 GMT (0400 to 1600 EST). Less regularly at weekends, but I'm rarely unavailable for more than 24 hours. Informal assistance is also available via my talk page if you just need one-off advice, of course. |
| Dendodge (talk • contribs • count) | No | Ready and willing to adopt! | I've been here for over a year and know how to use nearly all of Wikipedia (what I don't know I've never had to use so is probably not commonly needed) and want to help people. I try to remain polite, approachable and composed at all times. | I edit Wikipedia every day (unless I'm on holiday) but only nocturnally (until midnight) on weekdays. |
| Deryck Chan (talk • contribs • count) | Yes | Current adoptees: RanDawg, Edna H., Lauchuklam, Drahcir; willing to adopt more upon direct request by potential adoptee. | Article-writing | UTC+8, semi-active with fluctuating online patterns |
| Deskana | Yes | Open to any questions from all users, but not adopting more users. | I mainly perform administrator related tasks, such as commenting on WP:AN, WP:ANI, RC Patrolling (though not as much nowadays) and blocking vandals, protecting pages etc. I am also a bureaucrat so I promote other users to administrators, rename users and grant bot flags. I have a few users who use me as a first point of contact regarding matters that require the administrator buttons. I live in the GMT time zone, but being a university student I have no regular sleep pattern and go out frequently. I guess you can most likely find me here between 1200 UTC - 0200 UTC. | I warn you, I've been told before that I can be quite terse, and I know I can be quite strict; please be aware of that. |
| Dev920 (talk • contribs • count) | No | Currently have seven adoptees, of which six are only semi-active. I am therefore willing to take on people who want me in particular and any member of WP:LGBT, but people just looking for a random adopter I ask to give me a miss. | I write FA articles (five so far), |
I am willing to help or answer questions from anyone who contacts me, be you new or otherwise. |
| Dihydrogen Monoxide (talk • contribs • count) | No | (Almost) Always open! | This and that. Editing, using Lupin's tools to revert vandalism, helping out. I'm also on IRC a lot. | In Australia, so time zone may do some damage. But it shouldn't! |
| DiligentTerrier (and friends) |
Not yet! | Adopting now. | I am currently accepting adoptees. To learn more about me, you can visit my userpage, which I update more often than this section. I work on improving articles, and I am involved with several WikiProjects. I have a wide knowledge of Wikipedia policy, and "nerd" stuff, like templates and using ParserFunctions. I am also a recent changes patroller, and I revert vandalism whenever I can. Let me know if you would like for me to adopt you by leaving a message on my talk page. Thanks! | I live in Florida, USA which is on the Eastern Time Zone (North America). I am on Wikipedia almost every day. |
| dgies (talk • contribs • count) | Yes | Full for now, but always available to answer questions. | I've done a lot of vandal-fighting, and I'm pretty experienced in technical matters, so if you need to know how to do something, I probably know or can find out. | Best way to get help is by leaving a message on my talk page. |
| Docboat (talk • contribs • count) | No | Two open offers, no response - so ready for more | I am fairly busy in real life, but will be pleased to help if you are stuck. Leave a message on my talk page | Leave a message on my talk page |
| DoomsDay349 (talk • contribs • count) | No | Ready to adopt. | I do recent changes patrolling, and Good Article reviewing, as well as heavy work in Dragonlance. I consider myself a forward thinking deletionist. | |
| Dfrg.msc (talk page) | No | Available to adopt. | You can find out everything about me from my main page. | I'm on Wiki once or twice a day. |
| Doug (talk • contribs • count) | No | I have one adoptee and one voluntary probation, could take more | Informal coordinator of two projects (WikiProject Agriculture and WikiProject European history) and active in others, participate frequently in Deletion Debates and dispute resolution, work to copyedit articles and find cites and fight vandalism when I find it. Heavily involved in copyright issues. I use rollback and a variety of scripts, including Twinkle and Friendly, but don't own a bot and I'm weak on template code. | I check my talk page and watch list several times a day. |
| Dreamafter (talk • contribs • count) | No | Can adopt. 1-2 is all that I can take. | Well, if you ever need to just ask a question, I am more than happy to answer it, and if you feel the undying urge to ask a whole bunch of questions, why not just ask the most important one, "Will you adopt me?". After that I can still answer all your questions. I have done a lot, and would probably be of most help to someone interested in WWII or Canada. | I do a lot of vandal hunting, with my Anti-Vandal Tool, a lot of page deletion checks, a lot of putting patent nonsense page up for deletion, and reverting vandals. |
| Dustihowe (talk • contribs • count) | No | Willing to take more. | On Wikipedia, I mostly revert vandalism. Also vote on deletion debates. | If you need help, leave a message on my talkpage. |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| ~~Eugene2x Sign here ? ~~ | No | Not enough time in a day right now to spend much time on Wikipedia. Hopefully, I could get on more in the summer... | I usually revert vandalism daily using VandalProof. Occasionally I make mistakes and revert "valid" edits, but hey, don't we all? I especially like to contribute to articles relating to Nintendo, particularly the Mario Kart series articles. I also contribute to articles relating to PCs, such as Microsoft Windows. Again, if you wish to be adopted, feel free to leave a note on my talk page. | Since I'm usually busy with other things, it may take a week before I receive a message. And I have this little habit of not replying, so if I don't send you back a message, that probably means that I probably refused your offer (no offense though.) |
| Eustress (talk • contribs • count) | No | Available to adopt | I love Wikipedia as it is a fun, enlightening, and convenient hobby. Check out my userpage for more info, and feel free to drop me a note on my talk page. Cheers! | I'm frequently in front of a computer, so I'm available to help an adoptee most hours of the day. |
| Evaunit666 (talk • contribs • count) | No | Available to adopt | i mostly start pages for weird video games. im probably one of the more understanding people on talk pages and never lose my head. i collect cool things on my user page that i can show you (i can do some interesting things here). i like to build up stubs no one knows about and make small edits. im no good at editing science stuff or math stuff, but i could certainly show you how to. | personally, id choose me if you want someone nice and understanding. if youre cold and hate anything social, i could probably still help you out. I really dont know what my edit count is, but its gotta be over 500. im usually on around 8pm-12am, New York time. |
| Excirial (talk • contribs • count) | No | One adoptee and three open offers. Still adopting, but depending on the question volume i might respond slower then usual. / Always open for questions. | Im mainly doing maintenance work, although i have some experience in creating articles. My main activities are Vandalism patrol, New Page Patrol and User Name Patrol. I can also help with most cases of Wikipedia Syntax/Writing articles and questions about Rules and guidelines. | As stated, you can always ask me a question on my Talk Page, no matter if you want to be adopted or not :). Im trying to check my wikipedia account at least once a day, so most times you will receive responce shortly. |
| Fattyjwoods (talk • contribs • count) | No | Available to Adopt. | I normally do work around WP:MIL (Military History) and WP:SWIM because I'm a competition swimmer.

| Gimme danger (talk • contribs • count) | No | Adopting users | I generally do gnomish things, but occasionally venture out into actual editing. I'm active in the punk rock, Wisconsin and Buddhism Wikiprojects, with special interests in citations and referencing, assessment, and style editing. However, I've done pretty much everything there is to do at least once, so whatever you need help with I can either handle myself or point you in the right direction. As of now I've accumulated 5000+ edits. | US Central time, if that's important to you. I'm a student and an insomniac, so time zones don't matter too much for me. |

| Happy-melon | No | Hit me! (Not literally, please) | I tend to work on our large glut of fictional topics, but I'll copyedit anything that can't get out of the way fast enough! When fictional series spill over into AfD, PR or FAC, I'll be there too. | I'm here whenever you need me. |

I am a Apprentice Editor. | Please contact me via my talkpage. I am online every single day, garrunteed, bar none! |

| JamieS93 | No | Adopted Lovewikiii, but can take one more. I'd love to answer any questions, too! | I mainly contribute to a bunch of Christian music-related articles. I'm also involved in a lot of Recent Changes Patrolling with Twinkle and Rollback, NewPage Patrolling, as well as typo-fixing, categorization, welcoming users, and some other stuff.

I contribute in various other ways from time to time, as well. | I'm active on the Norman Wikipedia, but I usually stop by here at least once a day. I'd be happy to answer questions, or help wherever else I may.

| Jameson L. Tai (talk) | No | Available to Adopt. | I actively participate in WikiProject Universities, as I work on the Collaboration of the Fortnight that I started. I also do new page patrols, where I tag articles for speedy deletion, AfD them, prod, and other tags when and if necessary. I also sometimes poke my nose into articles where I understand/live around the subjects, like San Francisco, California-related articles, Melbourne, Florida-related articles, etc. I would like to help users settle into Wikipedia, understand his/her editing strengths and approach from there. No two editors on Wikipedia are alike. This creates a wonderful atmosphere for editors to grow in their own way...and I'd love to be the guiding hand. | Available almost everyday, unless I'm working/rushing on a project at school or I'm out of town. I'll generally be around at night around 8:00pm EST (U -5:00) as well as weekends. There's really no set time on when I sleep, so as long as I start on something I'll probably won't quit until I fall asleep on my keyboard around 2 or 3am EST (and then wake up with a keyboard imprint on my face...but I digress...) Feel free to send me a message on just about anything whether you're an adoptee or not. See you around! |

| John Carter (talk • contribs • count) | yes | Ready to adopt. | Don't have as much experience as a lot of others writing articles, although I tend to think I am a good copyeditor. Work primarily with WikiProjects, including creation, development, template work, etc. If you are an editor who would like to work with assessment, and possibly peer review, I might be of use to you. Primary fields of interest are biographical and religious content and related items. | E-mail or leave a message on my talk page. |
| jonny-mt (talk · contribs) | No | Available to adopt | I edit a random assortment of video game articles, Japan-related articles, and whatever shiny thing happens to catch my eye at the time. Most of my work is behind the scenes, where I work on everything from policy discussions to newpage patrol to templates and images to welcoming new users. Hopefully one of those will prove useful :) | I'm on Wikipedia almost every day. My time zone is +9 (Japan). |
| Jmlk17 (talk · contribs) | Yes | Adopting | I'm an admin, with a decent amount of experience overall. I can be a gnome at times (hey, who can't?), and am online nearly everyday. I am obsessed with NHL hockey, and have studied World War Two compulsively, both in and out of university. I deal with anti-vandalism issues as well, and have found myself interested in numerous other areas as well. | I am online nearly everyday in the Mountain Time Zone. I am always willing to help, and love to do so. |
| Jw21/PenaltyKillah(discuss•edits) | No... | 1st-time Adopter, & open to all! | Nowadays, I deal with articles related or associated to digital audio players (which is MP3 players to you non-geeks out there!) You'll find me busy at iriver clix, SanDisk Sansa, Creative ZEN, and Comparison of portable media players. Thanks to being an avid hockey fan, I had updated stats on players' articles. Although I am trying to re-start it, I used to be a RC Patroller. Oh yes, I love making userboxes! | Killed no birds, but spared no ants. I'm usually available at my talk page, but adoptees must be responsible and considerate in a world of spammers, vandals, and sock puppets. I will try my best to hand down my few polished skills, as long as one can make the best use of it. If you don't test my patience, I won't test yours. My time zone's GMT -8 (or Pacific Daylight Time), btw. So get on the WikiBandwagon! |

| Kerotan (talk) | No | Available to adopt 3 users. | I spend lots of time at the helpdesk, making gnomish style edits (and some larger ones too) to random pages, and I have a general interest in most topics, including but not limited to, history, video games and geography and geology. I am on line most days, around evening sort of time UTC, some days longer than others. If a message on my talk page goes unanswered for 24 hours (which is unlikely), the chances are that I am not near a PC. I have already adopted one user, but in fairness, he not asked much of me. I do from time to time do the occasional vandal whack, which is mixed in with my other edits, as well as tagging pages and participating in disscusions. It fair to say that my field of experience of wikipedia is general. | |
| Karrmann | No | Free to adopt | I have been editing for about two years, mostly on automobile articles. WHile my niche is in automobile articles, I am able to help any editor learn the ropes of how Wikipedia works no matter what their niche, as I am also flexiable and generally also add info to biographical and many other articles that I have information that I can contribute to.

I have over 15,000 edits across namespaces, so I have some experience here. No question is too simple, no question is too trivial - better that you ask than not know, yes? Leave a note on my talk page. |
| Kim Dent-Brown (Talk) | No | Open for business! | I contribute articles on military history and the occult, as well as getting seduced by odd subjects that come out of left field. I patrol new pages looking for spam and vandalism, and tag for speedy deletion although I'm just as likely to be less hasty these days. I contribute to discussions on articles for deletion and potential administrators as well. | I live in the UK (and am male, despite my first name!) Log on several times every day. |
| Kodster (talk · contribs) | No | Adopting | I usually work on improving articles to Good Article status, meaning that the articles are classified by Wikipedia as "decent". I like to help people any way I can, and am also good at copyediting (meaning, checking for grammar and English). | If you want to talk to me, please feel free to do so on my talk page. (Disregard the top message). |
| L'Aquatique[talk] | No | Sorry, I'm crazy busy right now... | I participate in most parts of Wikipedia- vandal patrol, new page patrol, writing, copy-editing, graphic design, etc. I'm very active with WikiProject Accessibility and I have experience dealing with autistic/mood/personality disordered people.

| Lara❤Love | Yes | Retired | I'm a graduate of the program. My contributions include WikiGnome activities and content improvement, although I've participated in many different areas, as shown on my user page. I'm open to adopt users with over 100 edits that are serious about contributing to the encyclopedia and learning about how WP works. | I'm available practically every day at varying hours. My goal as an adopter is to help new editors understand Wikipedia and how to use and improve it. |
| Lex94 | No | I'll adopt anyone who is in need of help, or just wants to have fun on wiki! | Hey, I am Lex! I am a member of various WikiProjects, but mostly participate in the Professional Wrestling WikiProject, as it's my favorite hobby. I'm more of an Organizer and Editor than a vandal-fighter.

I am not as active lately, but I will still answer questions if I have time. | If I'm available, feel free to request adoption here. If not, you can still ask me a question at the same page. I'm learning as much as I can about the Wikipedia community, but if I don't know the answer to your question, I'll refer you to someone who should.

I am very easy to talk to. | Drop me a line on my talk page. |
| Wildthing61476 (talk • contribs • count) | No | Now searching for new adoptees | I'm mostly a recent change patroller and a vandal fighter. I tend to be well-versed in a lot of the policies here on Wikipedia, and while I'm not a prolific editor, I tend to add bits and pieces to articles as I go. | I'm pretty open to anyone who needs help, just please make sure you can speak and comprehend English, as it's the only language I know. Drop me a like if you need any help! |

I check my watchlist several times per day, though my actual time on wikipedia varies considerably depending on the day. |
| Xenocidic (talk • contribs • count) | Yes | Have several adoptees (see adoption subpage), but willing to take on more | As an avid video gamer, I'm an active member of several WikiProjects including the Video games WikiProject and WikiProject Xbox. I also love to create userboxes. I'm an agent of the Counter-Vandalism Unit (again, mostly watching over video game articles). I've recently started using AutoWikiBrowser for various tasks including disambiguating links. I'm always happy to help! | As the only adopter with a username beginning with X, I feel I bring something truly unique to the table. As you're nearing the bottom of the page, you're obviously an adoptee with distinguishing tastes. So what are ya waiting for? Head on over to my talk page and get adopted already! (I'm typically active during business hours in the Eastern time zone) |
| Zacharycrimsonwolf | No | Open for two. | I'm always ready for questions and if you want me to help you with something, feel free to ask. I've added some useful links to my User page, take a look if you're free! | My current adoptee (Well, sorta.), Polarwolf has now graduated! |
