To get adopted by a more experienced Wikipedian, you could add the words {{Adoptme}} to your user page. To read more about it, go here.

You should sign your name on talk pages, discussions and votes by typing ~~~~; our software automatically converts it to your username and the date. Also, if you don't want to jump right into editing articles right now, why not check out the sandbox? Feel free to make test edits there.

I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian - I definitely do. Although we all make mistakes, please keep in mind what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or problems, leave me a message on my talk page, and I'll try my best to help. Otherwise, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

We hope you stick around, and make sure you enjoy yourself! Cheers, lov e laughterlife♥^talk? 22:38, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

And also, if you would like, I could adopt you too. Just reply and let me know. --lov e laughterlife♥^talk? 22:38, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
