Looking to be adopted

Hello

I'd like to be adopted so that I can contribute to Wikipedia constructively; I also don't want to receive messages accusing me of violence. At this point, I am mostly interested in easy edits but would like to increase to medium and perhaps hard with help. Also, I am currently using software that advises me on the correct punctuation, etc., but it comes with lots of flaws. Are you able to suggest one?

Adoption

I would like to be adopted. I have left requests on Adopters talk pages with no luck. My interests include: Nintendo, Star Wars, and internet culture. Blitzfan51 (talk) 20:38, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Blitzfan51 do you still want to be adopted? It looks like you have about the same amount of edits as me. In the rare case that the answer is yes, please let me know on my talk page. Signed, Mseingth2133444 (talk/contribs) 00:14, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question

I feel like I'm missing some grand info-page... what does adopting a user actually practically entail? Details have been somewhat vague. Edward-Woodrow :) _[talk] 22:08, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Adopt me

Can I Be Adopted? I Don't Know to edit. So can I be adopted? Interests: Cats, The Novel series Warrior Cats, Space and Animals. Anotaomo (talk2me)

@Anotaomo: Please see my reply to you at the WP:Teahouse (diff) in which I suggest to you that the adoption process is really suited to users who already have got some editing experience under their belt and are able to demonstrate through their contribution history over some weeks or months, and across various topics, that they are committed to staying the course. As of today you have still not edited one single mainspace article, and that's not likely to encourage someone to invest their time to take you under their wing at this stage. Sorry. (The Teahouse really is the best place for you to ask specific questions and to get quick responses.) Regards, Nick Moyes (talk) 14:46, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Looking for a mentor

I am a new user and I'd like to be coached on how to be alerted on where vandalism is occuring so I can stop it. Also to be apart of some WikiProjects and just be a good contributer. I have a person in mind but does anyone want to adopt me? FeistyRooster (talk) 15:25, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Long term user requesting a mentor or supervisor.

Hi I am ShakespeareFan00 (talk)

Last night I changed my status to Semi-retired, in part due to over-reaction to a some wilder claims made against the project, in the media.

I had a chance to sleep on the situation, and decided to take a 1 month break (possibly longer), accepting that in over-reacting I may have upset or shocked other project contributors. Even before this there had been periodicaly recurrent concerns, about my edits being overly bold.

I would therefore like to try and set up some kind of mentored or guided return, Please do not consider the idea of a long term using being monitored or supervised to be any indication of wrongdoing.

The idea of long standing user within an academic community, requesting 'supervision' is not without precedent in the academic world, even when any focus of edits would by good faith attempt to keep clear of contentious topics.

Pergunta

Tenho percebido que a Wikipédia está narrando a sinopse completa dos filmes. Muitos filmes sobre os quais busco saber acerca do enredo, o que antes era um resumo, agora é cheio de spoiler. Lemos e já descobrimos o final, quem morre, quem vive, tudo é revelado. Não era assim. Tínhamos apenas um resumo sobre a sinopse, o que nos dava uma ideia do que seria o filme. A Wikipédia precisa rever isso. Obrigada. Sandra Cristina de Carvalho (talk) 02:44, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
