Adoption offer
Dylan620 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)
 * Alrighty, then! :D The "up for adoption" template" doens't remove itself, you have to replace it with . Meanwhile, I'll be adding   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:
 * Fighting vandalism tick Maybe.
 * Building articles tick Definitely.
 * Administrative tasks
 * Anything else tick At the moment I'm still trying to learn how to write code for the Wikipedia.

Request to participate in University of Washington survey on tool to quickly understand Wikipedians’ reputations
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)

Where did you go?
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,  Dylan 620  (contribs, logs)help us! 17:30, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Nobel Prize
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?

The 1000 Challenge (Nordic)
Hi. I was wondering if you would be interested in contributing articles to 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)
