Adoption/ Help

Hey, a fellow Bernard Cornwell reader – what did you think of Sword Song? Any help you could give me with my adoptees would be great, it’s really hard to tell what to do next. And the userbox code – the basic structure that I use is:
{{Userbox |id = [[image|pixel size]] |id-c = colour |info = message |info-c = colour |info-fc = colour }}
Hope that helps!
You also indicated that there were other items of wikipedia in which you were a little rusty – so I have a suggestion. I need help with adoptees, you need help with wiki code… why don’t we set up a double adoption? It might make things easier – and it helps boost my adoptee numbers! All the best, TheMoridian 08:00, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Could You Adopt Me?

Hi, I have contributed to Wikipedia before as an anonymous editor, I have user accounts with some other wikia sites, and I recently created a user account on wikipedia. I would like to be adopted by an experienced user, and I saw on your page that you are quite experienced – would you be able to adopt me? Thanks for your help – Helikaon 09:02, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, I’ve adopted him. Thanks (my adoptees are increasing now!!). I entirely agree with you regarding Sword Song, but there is so much that needs to be covered, I don’t think it will all fit in a set of 6. And I’ve noticed the annoying habit as well – surely Bernard Cornwell would know that devoted fans read his books, so we don’t need an update with every new instalment?! I also notice, rereading the first 3 books, that he never repeated anything in any of them! Once again, thanks for the adoptee – all the best, TheMoridian 09:22, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Adminship

Hi! I have a question for you: what do you think about me and adminship? Thanks, TheMoridian 08:01, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help; the points you made were some of my fears, and I can see that they are well founded. I’m going to take your advice and try to increase my activity in the mainspace. All the best, TheMoridian 10:41, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have a second question: how do admins lose power? Namely, can they be demoted again, and, if so, how? TheMoridian 10:55, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Inactive

Just to let you know, I removed the user box indicating that you wish to be an admin because you haven't been active in a while. If you return and want t oreadd it please feel free to do so. I removed it because some people do look at the list to see if there are any qualified admin candidates.---Balloonman ^PoppaBalloon 22:31, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some of my userboxes on your userpage...

Heya, I have taken the (maybe unwanted) liberty of removing my uesrbox code from your userpage. This isn't vandalism or possessiveness; I tagged the userboxes for deletion recently, causing your userpage to be listed as a candidate for speedy deletion. Sorry, I'll give you the code if you want it. TheMoridian 10:25, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You maybe interested in the Article Rescue Squadron

I notice some of your templates on your user page, and I would like you to consider joining the Article Rescue Squadron. Rescue Squadron members are focused on rescuing articles for deletion, that might otherwise be lost forever to Wikipedia, you may find our project matches your vision of Wikipedia.
