[edit] Mentoring

Sure, how can I help?Just H 22:37, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] JustH

Just be a person I can go to when I need advice?

• Sure, no problem. As to your question, it varies on how long it takes before you can become an admin. You can go to WP:RFA to see some of the requirements. Generally it's things like edit counts(2 or 3 thousand), writing a featured article, or being known for having a coolhead. Just H 02:37, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

P.S, you should put four tildes after your comments like this ~~~~ . That way people can come to this page quickly.

Thank you. I will do that. Horsemen4life 09:16, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Adoption

I got your request for adoption, I'm going to be very erratic in my editing during the next couple of weeks, but I'm willing to adopt you anyway, I'll respond to any request the next time I'm on, you may also get responses from other experienced editors who also watch my page.

[edit] review of edits

Your most recent edits to Massachusetts Institute of Technology diff, the language used was fine you'll notice that two others editors made some modifications. One editor added a citation/reference for the information and the other wikified the text you added. Other edits you've made are similar but with time you'll learn to do that at the time, see WP:MOS and WP:EDIT for more tips.

The article Dark 'N' Stormy needs some more work especially focusing on establishing notability, looking at the history you'll notice it was {{prod}} but removed yet if someone chooses to send it to WP:AfD this will be the issue that is raised. Over all you contribs have been positive I didn't see any reverts to your edits so well done. Gnangarra 01:55, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm in the learning process so thank you!. Horsemen4life 01:57, 27 April 2007 (UTC)Horsemen4life

[edit] Vandal reverts

To revert vandalism edits just go to the edit history compar then edit the last version that was ok this'll remove the problem. Be careful that if theres a new edit thats fine then thes best option is to edit the section and remove the problem remeber to add an edit summary so others what/why. Also warn the editor who did the vandalism, instructions for that are at WP:AIV Gnangarra 00:54, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Metavante edit

Greetings. Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed an edit you made to this page got reverted... and also noticed your comment (which can just go on the talk page directly). It may be possible to salvage some of what you posted, but you'll have to verify it through an appropriate external citation... sometimes hard to do for this kind of thing. Lots of company articles have "derogatory" sections... This might belong in that kind of section. For less encyclopedic content that you want to post on financial services companies, fisolutionswiki might be a better fit. --Pearrari (talk) 05:36, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
