User:Derild4921/Adoption

I'm guessing you've come here as an adoptee. If you aren't feel free to read through anyways. This my adoption center where adoptees learn what hey need to progress through Wikipedia successfully. Derild 49  21  ☼  17:13, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

First set up a subpage for yourself titled User:Derild4921/Adoption/YOURUSERNAMEHERE

Part 1
Part 1 consists of a set of question so I can identify what you already know, interests and other such things. Derild 49  21  ☼  17:13, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

1. What have you done so far on Wikipedia? What is your proudest work so far (if any).

2. What policies or guidelines have you read through and understand? Summarize each one you have. (If more that 3, just pick the three you find most important and list the others).

3. What are your interests on Wikipedia? (Article writing, vandal-whacking etc.)

4. What do you hope to learn out of this adoption program?

5. What is the timeframe you will usually be on (so I can time things well)? No need for specifics, just in general.

Part 2
Part two will introduce you to article writing and building along with some other important polices. Different adoptees will have different experiences so there are no set assignments to do. Derild 49  21  ☼  17:13, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Part 3
Part three will introduce the more technical side of Wikipedia including deletion polices, speedy deletion, images copyright and vandalism fighting. As with Part two, different adoptees will start at different places. Derild 49  21  ☼  17:13, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Part 4
Part 4 will serve as a transition period between me teaching and you asking. At this time feel free to ask any questions you want that is confusing or hard to understand. Feel free to ask questions any other time though. Here I will also address any specific problems I see. Derild 49  21  ☼  02:53, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Part 5
Part 5 will serve as a review and a small test on what has been learned. After the test is passed one final assignment based on what was learned in part 2 and 3 will be given. When passed, you have graduated. Congrats! Derild 49  21  ☼  17:13, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
