[edit] Our Future
Should this page include the Future of Adopt-a-User thing (see talk page?) for more details. —¡Randfan! 22:22, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Adopter template
Can the adopter template handle multiple adoptees, or should I have a separate template for each adoptee? The Jade Knight 07:23, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- Really late reply here, but I'm pretty sure you have to have a separate template for each adoptee. That's what I've done- CattleGirl talk | sign! 08:19, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Adoption
I've just cleaned up the adoptee's section. i have been to EVERY users talk page on that list. removed some who have been infinitely banned, left messages for those that have never received a message, asked other who have already been adopted to remove their adoptee userbox and ensured every person had someone to contact. one thing i'm not too happy about was some of the posts from the adopters! User talk:TruthApplies you can see what i mean.
- I'm offering to adopt you. I Know some stuff that can help you. Don't expect to learn to much if you accept me to Adopt you. Bloddyfriday 20:19, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Are you serious ?! Anyways I think we should get some conversation going... I'm curious to know who has specialties in what areas. For example if a user wants to be adopted purely to gain knowledge about pictures and making images and whatnot. Just a thought so that we know where we can redirect users too. if you have any comments i would love to hear them! Matthew Yeager 04:03, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
- First, that was a BIG undertaking by Truth, good job. Second, I like that idea, Matthew. I don't know how we would facilitate it, but it's a good idea. Maybe we could make specialized adoption userboxes (like saying: "this user is looking for an adoptee who can teach them to picture edit". But a lot more catchy) as well as the general ones. Same for adopter user boxes ("this user is looking for an adoptee interested in creating portals", exempli gratia). Or maybe we can just have the normal one and have a link on the AAU's main page to users interested in different areas. Tell me what you think.

We can have a separate page that displays all the adopters and their respective fields. For example,
Images
- Example user 1
- Example user 2

PS: Fig, your formatting has somehow affected my edits. I had to remove the small thing in your signature, its causing my edits to go really puny as well. Hope you don't mind!! (Do you have any way of cancelling its effect?)
- Yes, it would be nice if we could specifically request what we wanted in an adopter. You know how the adopters have a page for detailing what they can teach? Maybe we (well, they, as I'm not requesting anymore) could have a page just like that. Best regards.--Song 19:14, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Question?
Who do i report an adopter to who does not meet the adopter requirements/has recently vandalized and introduced many inappropriate pages? Tiptoety 23:35, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] New to project
From lurking on others' talk pages (a bit creepy, I know), I see there is a backlog of folks who want to be adopted. I'm completely unfamiliar with this WP, but if there are new users who are interested in researching and expanding articles, that's what I do best. I suck pretty bad at anti-vandal work, policy discussion, and graphics, but anyone who wants to try to bring bad articles to GA or FA - I can help. Please let me know what needs to happen. You can contact me on my talk page. --Moni3 (talk) 20:36, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
