Re: adoption

Sure I can show you the ropes. I can be long winded sometimes, but I can answer your questions regarding Wikipedia. I assume you found me from the Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User, if that's the case, you'll probably want to add {{adoptee|Guyinblack25}} to your user page. If I may ask, is there a particular topic or type of articles you're looking to edit? (Guyinblack25 ^talk 20:21, 4 December 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Good to hear, editing something you're interested in or are connected to is good motivation to make sure it's of good quality. Any questions, whether they be about policy, writing style, formating wiki code, or whatever, feel free to ask. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 16:22, 5 December 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Inactivity

Hi, I've noticed you've been inactive for some time now. Given that amount of time, I'm putting the adoption on hold indefinitely. If you happen to resume editing, please feel free to drop me a note to continue the adoption, or if you feel confident enough in going it on your own, feel free to ask any questions you may have. Take care. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 17:16, 29 August 2008 (UTC))[reply]
