Greetings , I see you're up for adoption, and I'm in the market. If ever you need advice or answers, just ask me -- any question, any time. I'd like to help however I can. Happy editing - ~

==Welcome== Hello  and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad you've chosen to join us. This is a great project with lots of dedicated people, which might seem intimidating at times, but don't let anything discourage you. Be bold!, explore, and contribute. Try to be civil by following simple guidelines and signing your talk comments with  ~   but never forget  that one of our central tenets is to ignore all rules. If you want to learn more, Tutorial is the place to go, but eventually the following links might also come in handy: Help FAQ Glossary Manual of Style Float around until you find something that tickles your fancy. One easy way to do this is to hit the random page button in the navigation bar to the left. Additionally, the Community Portal offers a more structured way to become acquainted with the many great committees and groups that focus on specific tasks. My personal favorite stomping grounds are Translation into English as well as the cleanup, welcoming, and counter-vandalism committees. Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has several other wiki projects that you might enjoy. If you have any more questions, always feel free to ask me anything on my talk page. Again, welcome! -- ~  ==Proposed ICRC move/creation== Hello , there is a discussion here about a proposal to move User:Draeco/ICRC into the main namespace, thus creating a new separate article for the International Committee of the Red Cross. Currently, all ICRC material is integrated into the article International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. If you can, please give your opinion so we can get a firm picture of the concensus. Thanks --  ~ ~ Follow   [ this link]   and add ==AfD Explanation== First off, thank you for your contribution. Even if the community decides it doesn't belong on Wikipedia, I realize you had good intentions. We all make mistakes as beginners; I myself stumbled out of the gates by uploading 20 copyright-infringing images as you appear to have done above. Take heart and continue to be bold in contributing. Having said that, there are several reasons that your article has been nominated for deletion: The deletion process normally takes about 5 days, so if you have any new information to bring to light please try to do so within that window, because any subsequent re-creations will probably be speedily deleted much more quickly and unmercifully. Thanks again for contributing, and in the future ask me on my talk page if you have any questions. - ~ ==Spanish Translation== Greetings,, and thanks for joining the Spanish Translation of the Week! I'm glad you've joined us, but I have a sneaking suspicion that you may have used a machine translation to finish the last few Spanish passages in the current article. My suspicion is based upon the fact that these passages are obviously unnatural in English, while each individual word is an exact translation of its counterpart in the Spanish source text. If you really do have an understanding of Spanish as your userboxes suggest, be bold and put it to use, but do not machine-translate because your heart is not in it and the resulting text is unnatural. I understand the urge to push the translation to completion, but replacing source text with machined gibberish slows and complicates the process of accurate translation. Thanks again for joining, and forgive me if my suppositions are wrong. - ~ ==Image Copyrights== Your recent image contribution is appreciated. However, you need to assign some kind of license to make it compatible with the Wikipedia copyright. Please select either a public domain license or one of the Free licenses. Wikipedia uses GFDL by default and my personal favorite is PublicDomain. Thanks again, ~
