Sea Cloud

Just so you know, I created an article on the ship that Skinner commanded now too: USCGC Sea Cloud (WPG-284). Ironically, it was the first integrated ship, and was later owned by the racist dictator Rafael Trujillo. Cheers! Scapler (talk) 01:07, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Adoption

No need to formally accept anything. I can give you a crash course on editing if you like. First one: on talk and user talk pages, sign your posts by typing ~~~~ (four tildes) after your message. かんぱい！ Scapler (talk) 19:48, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Like this? SillySwann (talk) 19:51, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Exactly. That will give a link to your user page, talk page, and add a timestamp. かんぱい！ Scapler (talk) 19:51, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Okay. And I assume the colons are for indentations. Next thing - any articles you need help with? That way, you can monitor more closely what I do. I want to learn from who I assume to be one of the best. SillySwann (talk) 19:53, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Well that's quite flattering, and yes, colons are about one indentation per. Perhaps you can pick out a math article you want to write, and we can start from there. I will see if next week I can write a basic guide for you. かんぱい！ Scapler (talk) 20:19, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

A small guide I put together for you:
