Re:Adoption
Thank you for your kind message :) Indeed, I have already adopted 05kinjac. Were you interested in being adopted? Tiddly  -  Tom  19:45, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Indeed I have not, however that is not a requirement. I would however be happy to adopt you :) What sort of subjects are you interested in? Tiddly  -  Tom  20:03, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, Cool. Wikipedia has a wide range of WikiProjects where by groups of editors work together to improve article of a particular topic. If you have a look at the list of WikiProjects - pick one that takes your fancy, and join it! We can then look into some basic editing of articles... that is what Wikipedia is all about... articles. At the moment, you don't have too many edits to articles, but that does not matter, we'll work on it. The Cheat sheet is very useful to learn the wiki markup - over time you will know it like second nature. To practice, I give you a task, if you chose to accept it. I want you to edit this page. I would like you to introduce some internal links, remove and  from the article and add  at the end. Good luck! Drop me a note when your done and I'll take a look :)  Tiddly  -  Tom  20:24, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, They were great. I have added a few more. One thing I forgot to tell you about is that you should bold the first appearence of the title of the article in the article. Take a look at the article here to understand what I am talking about. Ok, This time I will not tell you what to do so much... the article is this. Good luck! Tiddly  -  Tom  21:09, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * A few pointer on the last article - The stub notice should go right at the end of the article. If you look at the page you will see that it says it does not have any categories or many links to other articles. You may now remove these two tags, as you have added links, and that stub notice added a category. Other that that it was good. I got both of those articles from the list here feel free to pick a few more and do them. If you need any help, just drop me a note. Good luck! Tiddly  -  Tom  21:39, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * here - Sorry, My mistake :S :P Tiddly  -  Tom  22:41, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * This is looking good, just a few points I failed to mention before:
 * Don't remove orphan tags, unless lots of articles link to the article (Click on What Links Here in the left hand toolbox). Don't be fooled by lots of links, we are only interested in links from articles, so nothing with Talk: User: User Talk: or anything else like that before it.
 * In one of those articles you added two stub notices, one which was US-School and the other Arizona-Stub - as the Arizona one is more specific, just use that one.
 * In short articles like these, we only link words once, so if the same word appeared in an article twice, only link the first.
 * Last thing for the moment; it is worth going into preview mode and checking out where the links go to, as inparticularly you can have many people with the same name; most principles will not have their own page. In one of the articles you said this person was the principle ;) Not to worry; I sorted it.
 * It's great to see an improvement, so keep up the good work! Do you use FireFox or Internet explorer (this is for a future challenge)? Tiddly  -  Tom  08:57, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok. With regards to you edit to this page - the article title is right at the top of the page and therefore you can remove it from the article (remove

Grandview Park Baptist School
). Also, as you have added links to other articles, you can remove the dead end tag. Would you be willing to install FireFox - as this will allow you to use some tools to speed up some processes? Tiddly  -  Tom  17:53, 6 February 2008 (UTC) Ok, Do you prefer picture one or two?  Tiddly  -  Tom  18:06, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, No problem. When you come across them, you should read guidelines and policys, and over time you will know everything!! (Well, not everything... but lots). Make sure you have read all five of the Five pillars. I'll get on and add that to your nav bar then. Tiddly  -  Tom  18:18, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, Navbar done, its now bigger than mine! Wikipedia has a wide range of policiys and guidelines for editors, you can read about them here. Tiddly  -  Tom  18:24, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Copy and paste the code of it into the signature box in your preferences, making sure you also click raw signature. I like the look of the signature! Tiddly  -  Tom  19:45, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * You can find out about the welcoming committee, and indeed how to welcome a user here. You can find a list of new users here. There are many more things to do on wikipedia than just adding links, one thing is, while you are reading online newspapers, if you see something that should in in an article, add it! But don't forget to provide at least one citation for your addition. When you have found something you want to add, and have added it, drop me a line and I'll check it over. If you have not already, I suggest you read the five pillars of wikipedia. Good luck! Tiddly  -  Tom  07:00, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I personally have not been involved with user name problems much. Yes, it is longer then most user names, but if I came across it, I would personally leave it to someone more experienced to find. If they are very new, you could, polity, ask they if they would like to create an account with a shorter name, but as I said, if I came across it, I would probably leave it. The username policy does say that confusing user names are not allowed, but that is debatable in this case. Tiddly  -  Tom  06:53, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I do not know if it was a mistake or not, but you combined two words to create 'Gatheringin' :P The link to American Gathering just links to that page, you have added links so it no longer needs the dead end tag, Also, the Month and Year links you did just link to the year, so you probably should do them separately, bolding it good, stub notice is good. Keep up the good work! If you feel like it, you could also add citations into articles you come across while looking through those dead end pages. Good luck! Tiddly  -  Tom  00:28, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * How about joining a WikiProject? See what tasks they have that need doing, and see if you can do them? If you want to anything that I don't mention, do it! :) Tiddly  -  Tom  00:18, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi...
I'm just dropping by to say hi. I make it a point to look at everybodies pages that come to Tom's. -- Cherry Blossom  93  17:41, 12 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Yea he is... I really like it..;D. Well a cyber-highschool is basically like any other school just no physical interaction with other teens. So it minimizes fights and stuff like that LOL. I get calls for my teachers twice a month or I can call them. They have Live-Lessons where the teacher talks to the students and explains what we are going over in the chapter at hand. Then one of my teachers has set up a live thing called the Coffee Table something. I haven't gone tho. And I actually run by my own schedule. But being highschool I don't have all the freedom my siblings have so when I go overdue I have to hurry and make up otherwise I will get a 0 after 2 weeks. I think it's really cool and much better than public school. Are u in highschool?-- Cherry Blossom  93  04:01, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Adoption Continued
I don't really converse with users that much, except for when we come across each other when editing. I have made thousands of edits to the usertalk name space, but most of them are warning users for vandalism. You'll find that almost all non-vandal user you speak to are nice people :) Second point is about that article you linked to, Casting Crowns. I notice it is missing lots of possible references, so I would like you to try to dig up some citations and then add them into the article. Good luck, once you have given it a go, drop me a note and I will take a look. Tiddly  -  Tom  23:06, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
