<!--:{| class="wikitable" ! colspan="2" | Adoptee information ADOPTEE INFORMATION Wow, do I need some help. I am a retired Canadian living in Thailand. I am a 'political junkie' of sorts, with a Poly. Sci. Degree. I am immersed in Thai. Politics, by virtue of #1 - being an avid reader of Domestic Thailand English Language Media and #2 - married to a Native Thai Political Leader. These two sources represent the two sides of the political divide in Thailand. The current Wikipedia article entitled "2010 Thai political protests" is a pure representation of the former (#1). Being equally familiar with the other side, I am appalled by the bias and misleading content of the entry entitled "2010 Thailand Political protests". My attempts to balance it out have come to nought. People beholden to that political perspective have merely deleted it, under the guise of not being Nuetral, and claiming nuetrality unto themselves. This is understandable, if they have not been exposed to both sides of this political divide as I have been. Anything beyond their perspective therefore, is decidedly non-nuetral in their honest perspective. I have carefully read the Wikipedia policy on "NPOV", and thoroughly concur with it. I have no problem with it, and want to adhere to it. I need a mentor badly, to asist me in projecting such a perspective, and avoid being drowned in process. My problem however, is to make sure I have a Nuetral mentor, untainted by the Thai English Language Domestic Media, and the foreign press who often quote, copy and paraphrase that propagandized media, for lack of their own resources. In a nutshell, I need someone to keep me "on the straight and narrow" while I add content to Wikipedia that will be a meaningful resource to future users, especially those researching background to the political upheavals of 2006 and 2010. I am not sure how this mentorship works, or how a particular mentor functions, but I would envision that as I seek to correct information currently on Wikipedia, and in noted subject matter, that as I do it, I receive some freedback on it, before I post it. That it is within W-NPOV requirements, etc. I want my biases checked also, but not the balanced perspective. If you see some of my communications Ferwert-Takeaway-conflict resolution section etc, you can see how I have been flailing about, and getting nowhere. SUBJECT INTEREST As described above. I am a Political Democracy Activist focussed on Electoral Democracy, in this case Democratic processes in Thailand. The above narrative on "adoptee information" gives a good overview of my 'subject matter interest' I think Replace with yes/no***....Not sure exactly what this means, but I don't think so. I am also not very conversant with most effective communication process here in Wikipedia. Preference for an adopter I reviewed some of the "Adopter Information", and two adopters stood out for me....."1 - HADGER indicated he was experienced in making articles more nuetral and encyclopedic. that is exactly the assistance I need, if my newby experience of the last week is any indication......#2 - LIHAAS also seemed to be someone who could really help me. He indicated he is interested in Political articles, especially elections across the world. This is precisely the subject matter I am all about, within the Thailand context.
