User:Sticky Parkin/Adoptees

This is the status of my adoptees, some respectful notes about them and plans for their development, for my own use and perhaps of interest to other adopters and adoptees.

My main method of adoption is to answer any questions adoptees ask and give my opinion, and to remind/make them aware of the rules and customs of wiki when I see them having problems.

active adoptees
User:Editor510-Livey young editor. Had some problems with what older editors saw as WP:MYSPACE and his friendliness was viewed as a lack of seriousness. Is nice, very extrovert. Adds his own descriptions of videos and music to music articles.

User:Unforgiven24- editor doing well, especially with use of WP:TWINKLE and other semi-automated tools (not something I'd have a knack for.) Created some articles.

User:903M- Has her own opinions when she sees things she thinks are wrong in articles. Usually is right IMHO, but at first found it hard to get on with other editors, and those who may WP:OWN articles. Uses actions some see as WP:POINT. Had some problems with perceived edit warring but over a possibly copyrighted image, which I think is exempt from 3rr. Her reasoning powers and civility have begun to be appreciated by others. Edits at a very different time to me, so we need someone else who's awake at that time to hep her out too, really.

Currently less active adoptees
User:Chimchar monferno- was interested in userpage code and also made some good WP:Wikignome-like edits. I couldn't really help with userpages etc, I'll have to accept that it's not my strong point:) Currently she's focusing more on real life rather than wiki, I think.

User:Bradenkeith-Was learning a lot about the notability requirements for article. He moved a page and I worried he might be reverted, but it stuck:) Has been busy creating a website.

User:Andy2159-wanted to upload some pics but didn't seem able to do it. I tried my best to explain the process to him. If I ever have a similar problem with an adoptee of his not being helped by my way of putting things, I'll ask someone else to try to explain it to them.

User:Presumptive- had various problems due to very much having her own opinions, and being unique. Felt (rightly at times) that some people on wiki had it in for her.

User:M1lawlor- Made two articles about companies he was interested in. Was working well with others involved with the pages, but was daunted I think by the thought of trying to WP:NPOV one of them.
