Hi

Hi Chris G, I registered today to help edit WP pages. I saw your name on the Adopters page and wondered if you'd adopt me?

I am hoping to continue this great resource that I use at home and in my classroom as a middle-level computer teacher.

I found a list of pages that needed to be wikified and ended up on the apple candy red page. I did some editing but didn't know what I should do about the notice that the page needed wikifying. There was also a notice about the page being a stub. How much information needs to be added and who removes this statement?

Thanks in advance, --Busyreading (talk) 22:25, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Of course I'll adopt you. As for the Wikifing and stub templates these can be removed by anyone once the article is Wikified or is no longer a Stub --Chris 09:21, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you have an questions or need any help just ask on my talk page. You might want to add {{adoptee|Chris G}} to your Userpage. It will displays this: just to let everyone know that I've adopted you. --Chris 09:35, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
