 * I'll try, but I'm busy off-wiki and elsewhere on the Internet so I unfortunately can't make any promises. I will try to review that DYK and GAN tomorrow, though. -- Dylan 620  (contribs, logs) 02:45, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Really sorry buddy, but now I'm deep in work IRL. I'll have to see to your request at a later date. -- Dylan 620  (contribs, logs) 23:39, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Hello
Thanks for the welcome... I've actually been a registered user for some time, but unfortunately, I don't have a great deal of time to contribute (at least not as much as I would like to.)  Furthermore, I have been learning the ropes pretty much on my own and if you don't mind, it would be nice to have someone to address Wikipedia related questions to every now and again. Thanks again!

 * Sure, whatever you need. :) Like you, I'm pretty busy myself, but I should be online often enough. -- Dylan 620  (contribs, logs) 03:35, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

You have an adoption request
Hey Dylan. I don't know if you're aware, but User:SaaHc2B requested that you adopt him after a message you left on his talk page (on December 6). So far, he has been received offers from six other editors, but hasn't accepted any; he specifically indicates on his userpage that he is waiting for an adoption request from you. Anyway, since it seems he's been holding out for you for awhile, I thought I'd let you know. Even if you can't take on a new adoptee right now, it's probably best that you tell him that.--  Swarm  Talk 06:34, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you for letting me know. I have decided to take him under my wing as my adoptee. -- Dylan 620  (contribs, logs) 07:02, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Glad to hear it, and thanks.  Swarm  Talk 20:57, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

SaaHc2B
Hi Dylan, and thanks for that, Swarm. Maybe there should be an "adoption request" box like there's an "adoption offer" box. And learning how the notifications work is one of the things I wanted to get adopted for! Until then, anyways, here is my response that I've copied off of my talk page:--SaaHc2B (talk) 04:05, 14 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi! That's great. Thanks. I totally understand your delay, as I am also very busy and will probably only be visiting Wikipedia on an on and off basis. Though please don't give up on me, even if I am absent for a long period of time, as I plan on becoming a dedicated user.


 * I'm not quite sure where to begin, although I do have far too many questions to ask all at once. I guess for one thing I'd like you to help me to help myself; Can you explain to me some of the structure of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia sites in general, especially the help pages? I have become very confused by all the categories and wikiprojects and stubs and templates and such, so I don't really know where to go to get the best overall "big picture" of wikipedia.


 * Also, should I make a page linked to my talk/ user page for adoption conversations like this? I also don't know if I need to post this on your talk page for you to get notified, so I will do that, although it might then notify you twice. :P Sorry. And another thing- I'd like to fix that Yersinia Pestis redirect page thing X ).


 * Again, these are just a few of my questions, and again, Thanks! SaaHc2B (talk) 04:05, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 01:17, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

No...
not another wikibreak!-- Coldplay Expért Let's talk  15:24, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Don't worry, I won't be gone long. :) I've been having dreams about Wikipedia lately, so I decided it was time to take a break. I'll be gone a week tops. Think of it this way; at least I'm not retiring! :) -- Dylan 620  (contribs, logs) 17:28, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
