Hello, I noticed you were seeking to be adopted, I am a ser here and I will be happy to adopt you and "show you the ways" of Wikipedia, and hopefully by the end you'll know almost everything their is about Wikipedia, please leave a note on my user talk page when you are ready to start and I'll begin teaching you! Happy editing. The Sunshine Man 17:04, 11 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Great, you can now removed adoptme from your userpage and add . You can ask me questions on my User talk page about Wikipedia, I'll be happy to help. So.... would you like to learn about user warnings and how to warn users for vandalism or other bbad behaviour on Wikipedia? Thanks - The Sunshine Man 17:39, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, before we start with user warnings, I would like to ask you if you could write your messages in correct English when on Wikipedia, instead of saying words like "dude", I should also tell you that you dont have to create a new section for every comment you make to the same user within a small period of time, just indent it in the same section by using: : then :: and more so as other comments are made. Please remember to sign your username by inserting ~ after your comments on article talk pages and user talk pages. Please be very careful when updating the Template:Vandalism information, you recently moved it to level 1, which is reserved only for extreme or vandalbot levels of vandalism, 2 is normally the maximum it reaches - I noticed you had not been reverting vandalism so I dont think you had any idea what was going on, so please be careful in the future - this is just a friendly message so please dont take it the wrong way. OK, are you ready to start learning? The Sunshine Man 18:36, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Its fine their is no need to be sorry about it - its fine! If I had vandalised a Wikipedia article and you wanted to warn me for this, do you know what you would do or where you could find templates for this? I will tell you - just wondering. Please reply under the original section of my user talk page by using the : to indent the lines. Cheers! The Sunshine Man 19:16, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Great work with indenting the lines, however remember to add ~ on the end if your comment, please also try to use an edit summary when editing pages on Wikipedia. For the warnings see WP:WARN, so say for example I had vandalised a Wikipedia article for the first time, see if you can find the appropriate template to warn me with (remember to sign using ~ at the end), do that at my Sandbox and I'll check it out and give you some feedback, if you cannot do it just tell me and I'll help you even further with warnings.The Sunshine Man 19:28, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Great work with the template, however you left a message on my user talk page and you forgot to sign, please remember because some users choose to ingore unsigned message, I dont but do find it a little frustrating. Anyway, again - the template was good but what you can do is add Title of vandalised article here ~ and that will gain full credit or the warning - its not a requirement but its better to do so that way. So this time, say for example I had for the third time removed the afd tag from Google (in the event of that being taken through WP:AFD), I'll clean my sandbox and you give a pretend warning there, I'll give some feedback.The Sunshine Man 19:46, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Again, very good, however you didnt put the article title in it, but I'll help you some more on that. So, say I had been deleting content from pages and this was the fourth time I had done this on the Blue article, try giving me a warning at my sandbox aboout blanking the article, try to rememember to add the article title in by doing: Blue ~ but that is not just for the vandalism templates, it can be done on all warning templates. Remember to keep indenting the line under the same section as you make comments on my user talk page so two different comments are not in the same indent, give it a try.The Sunshine Man 10:11, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Great, you are doing really well, do you feel confident you could do it on a real life vandal case? The Sunshine Man 11:55, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, should we move onto learning how to add references to articles, if we're going to fast just say and I can slow down, I'll have to start this tomorrow though if you would not mind.The Sunshine Man 19:17, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
