Adoption offer[edit]

{{adoptoffer}} I've been looking through Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user, looking for someone to adopt. I look forward to helping you around Wikipedia! Drop me a note regarding if you accept or decline my offer. Cheers, Dylan (chat, work, ping, sign) 21:30, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alrighty, then! :D The "up for adoption" template" doens't remove itself, you have to replace it with {{adoptee|Dylan620}}. Meanwhile, I'll be adding {{adopter|JohnTheSupercargo}} to my userpage. An adoption page, located at User:Dylan620/Adoption/JohnTheSupercargo, will be up as soon as you answer the following questions:

Q1: Do you wish to be an administrator here on Wikipedia? (Place {{tick}} below to say "yes," and place {{cross}} below to say "no.")

A: {{cross}} Not yet - though I can already see I might want to become one in the future.

Q2: Place {{tick}} next to the areas in which you wish to receive training:

  1. Fighting vandalism {{tick}} Maybe.
  2. Building articles {{tick}} Definitely.
  3. Administrative tasks
  4. Anything else {{tick}} At the moment I'm still trying to learn how to write code for the Wikipedia.

Alrighty then, I'll have the adoption page up and running momentarily. First lesson will be a review of behavioral expectations (mandatory lesson). --Dylan (chat, work, ping, sign) 18:59, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request to participate in University of Washington survey on tool to quickly understand Wikipedians’ reputations[edit]

Hello. I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington. In April, we met with Wikipedians to learn what they would like to know about other editors’ history and activities (within Wikipedia) when interacting with them on talk pages. The goal was to gather feedback to help design a tool that could quickly communicate useful information about other Wikipedians. We have now created a few images that we feel represent some of what our participants thought was important. We would appreciate it if you took a few minutes of your time to complete an online survey that investigates whether or not these images would be useful to you. Your quick contribution would be very valuable to our research group and ultimately to Wikipedia. (When finished, the code for this application will be given over to the Wikipedia community to use and/or adjust as they see fit.)

We are particularly interested in feedback from new editors! We want to make sure this tool meets your needs.

Willing to spend a few minutes taking our survey? Click this link.

Please feel free to share the link with other Wikipedians. The more feedback, the better! The survey is completely anonymous and takes less than 10 minutes to complete. All data is used for university research purposes only.

Thank you for your time! If you have any questions about our research or research group, please visit our user page. Commprac01 (talk) 23:29, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to WP:Sweden![edit]

Hi,

a belated welcome to WP:SWEDEN. It's always nice to have some professional writers

Just dive in and write about any topics or article that interest you.

If you have any questions feel free to ask me and I'll try to get back to you as soon as I can.

Where did you go?[edit]

What the heck happened, John? You haven't edited in 3 months! Well, in any event, good luck IRL, and I'm looking forward to your return to active Wikipedia editing. :) Best, Dylan620 (contribs, logs)help us! 17:30, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I am currently working on the "Swedish Project" and "Award and Prizes"'s article Nobel Prize. Since it is a top importance article and not even GA class I am trying to make it a GA article and perhaps further after that. However, I'm in a state now where I could use some help. I need a new pair (several pairs in fact) of eyes to look at the article and the talk page for improving prose, debation of different things and some sourcing. Do you got any possibility to help out?

Hi. I was wondering if you would be interested in contributing articles to Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic)? It needs contributors to increase diversity of content from different countries and bring about large scale improvements. The idea at some point will be to host a National Contest related to your country of interest. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:15, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
