Asking For Adoption
Looking for someone to adopt me. I think that after a month or two, the below user has forgotten about me...I also have a question on my cover page. Thanks. YazzaMatazza 08:02, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, I will adopt you. Leave a note on my userpage. Real96 08:18, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Wow. That was fast. Really fast...Thanks. YazzaMatazza 08:20, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * What do you need help on? If you aren't satisfied with me, there are other adopters available. Real96 08:26, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I have a few to-do's...:
 * 1. Find out how to get user boxes.
 * 2. Make a good rule box.
 * 3. Find out how to make an established edit.
 * 4. Create a page on Wikipedia.
 * If you would help me on working on these things, it would be greatly appreciated. YazzaMatazza 08:37, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

(reduce indent) First, you can learn how to design your page via this link. Second, you can make a good edit to any article as long as the edit is attributable and not false. You can create an article on almost any topic, as long as the topic is not a copy of text. If you have any more questions, please let me know! Real96 08:44, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * How would I go on the business of citing references? YazzaMatazza 08:47, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * You can learn about citing references via WP:References which gives you a link of how articles are to be cited in Wikipedia. I have also added a welcome box to your page in order to serve as a guide. Real96 08:51, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Wow. That box pretty much helps me alot. When I get a question, and I need someone to answer it, I'll ask here. YazzaMatazza 08:53, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

(reduce indent) For a quicker response, you can ask me on my talk page for new questions. However, I will keep this page watchlisted. Real96 08:57, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Re:Userboxes
Sure, look at WP:USERBOX -- the page is a great resource. Make sure that the userbox doesn't exist on Wikipedia. If you want to experiment with the userbox, you can make a sandbox on your userpage (i.e. User:YazzaMatazza/sandbox). Hope this helps! Real96 09:55, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I have just posted on the ideas for userboxes page about it. You may find it there if you ever want to do anything on it. It's just that all the text really confuses me sometimes, and I'm (probably) too lazy. Oh, dear ol' me. Too lazy to read something. What have I done?! YazzaMatazza 09:58, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * For more info, go here. Real96 10:31, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

(reduce indent) The userbox looks nice! See you around. <b style="color:#009900; font-family:georgia;">Real96</b> 11:15, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks. First try too. Don't worry - I won't be bugging you like this. I'll only do it for things I'm doing for the first time. I know, it can get annoying. Well, see you when I'm lookin' at you. YazzaMatazza 11:17, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Adoption
Hi, YazzaMatazza, I noticed that you are semi-active with the project and know what you are doing as far as editing articles. So, I am graduating you from the adoption program. Congrats! Let me know if you have any additional questions. <b style="color:deeppink; font-family:georgia;">Real96</b> 14:00, 28 May 2007 (UTC) <div style="background-color: skyblue; border: aqua solid 2px; margin-bottom:.5em; padding: 5px; font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"> Dear , Congratulations for completing the Adopt-a-User program!!! If you have further questions concerning Wikipedia or the policies, please let me know! --  Real96 

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 some local 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 of those sessions was to gather feedback to help design an embedded application 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.)

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) 01:06, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
