Welcome
Hi JWaaker, and welcome to Wikipedia :) I'd love to adopt you, and am just wondering what you'd like to do on Wikipedia. It could be writing new articles, cleaning up and maintenance, fighting vandalism (bad edits) and spam (advertising), checking new pages. These are just a few ideas, so please give me an idea of what you'd like to do, and also, what your interests are in real life. I will try and match them to Wikipedia. Thanks, Acather96 (talk) 07:15, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Hello Acather96! I guess I am supposed to answer here :-) Fighting vandalism seems a cool point to start from. My interests in real life are quite diversified; however, to name a few, French litterature, Law and new technologies. However, I am always willing to discover new things (the "random article" hyperlink might be my best friend). How do you recommend I get started ? Do I simply go through wikipedia and restore when it seems there's been a problem ? Have a nice day ! JWaaker (talk) 11:43, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, to help with vandalism fighting, there are special tools you can use. If you want to get involved with vandal fighting, you may wish to use Lupin's vandal fighting tool. This lets you find potentially bad edits, and revert them, and then warn the vandal. Before doing so however, please read WP:VANDALISM. Category:French literature, Category:Law and Category:Technology may contain articles you are interested in, and WikiProject France, WikiProject Technology and WikiProject Law may also be useful. A WikiProject is a place where editors all interested in a certain topic come together and share ideas, and help improve certain articles together. You don't have to join them, but feel free to do so. Any questions about anything, just ask right here :) Acather96 (talk) 21:40, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you! It will keep me occupied for a bit of time :-) I'll come back to you if I need anything... Have a nice evening ! JWaaker (talk) 17:36, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Congratulations

 * Tip: When you do revert a vandal, click the uw-vand button. This then issue them a warning, and if they carry on vandalising after their fourth warning, report them to WP:AIV. Thanks, Acather96 (talk) 16:06, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
