Adoption

I would be happy to adopt you. Due to an increase in my work load recently, I may check my talk page as little as once every other day, but I will endeavor to check it more often.

First lesson, then: when leaving a message on a person's talk page, you should in general add it at the bottom of the page under a new heading. An easy way to do this is to click the "+" tab beside "edit this page", which will allow you to enter the heading in a box and your message beneath it, and will automatically place it at the bottom of the page. This placement makes it easier to see what your newest message is, rather than sifting through the entire page or the page history.

Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to leave me a message, and I will get back to you as soon as possible. If you have some particularly urgent question, you may want to use the {{helpme}} template: if you add it to your talk page followed by your query, someone should come by shortly to help you. I look forward to working with you. --Sopoforic (talk) 18:28, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
