;Adoption offer

I've had a look over your adoption page and I see that you've been making some solid gains. I would like to offer to take up the torch - though I should warn that I am typically only quite active during "business hours" in the Eastern time zone (this message being an exception - I can't sleep ;>) - though I do poke my head in here and there in the evenings. If you would prefer an adopter who is more active during your editing times, simply let me know and re-add the adoption request to your userpage, otherwise, if you'd like to go ahead with it we can get started. xenocidic (talk) 07:23, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

: Thank you very much for your offer and I very happily accept. Just leave messages when youre on and I will complete them when I am on. --FGWQPR (talk) 15:04, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

::Excellent. Would you prefer to keep the exchanges in User:FGWQPR/adoption or here? And do you want me to provide tasks the way Dusti was doing, or do you just want me to answer questions and such? xenocidic (talk) 15:18, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

:::Yes and I would like it to be the same as before with tasks and I will ask questions if I need help. Many thanks. --FGWQPR (talk) 17:04, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

::::I've updated your adoption page. xenocidic (talk) 18:50, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

==Adoption: Take Two==

----

FGWQPR, thank you for accepting me as your new adopter. I've archived your old adoption page to /Archive 1, to give us a fresh start - and also because I've transcluded this page at my adoption subpage. So, let's get started. First, some introductory questions:

  • What is the meaning/history of your username?

: Well, fristly the suffix, QPR, that is the football team I support. Here: Queens Park Rangers.

Then the prefix FGW, well they are my local Train Operating Company and trains are waht I am interested in. First Great Western is also the page I edit most. --FGWQPR (talk) 19:13, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Have you done much of your old "Task 3", that is, participating in the AFDs?

: No, that is what I aim to do this weekend. --FGWQPR (talk) 19:13, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

  • If so, what have you learned about Wikipedia's deletion process?
  • Would you consider yourself a deletionist, inclusionist, or somewhere in between?
  • Please move your adopted userbox somewhere onto your main page - for proper categorization.

: Done. --FGWQPR (talk) 19:13, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

  • One important (though sometimes mundane) Wikipedia task is fixing links to disambiguation pages. Take a look at Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links and see if you can lend a hand. If you like, you can start by disambiguating the links that have "mushroomed" at [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AWhatLinksHere&target=PC&namespace=0 PC], which is a disambiguation page that I have 'adopted'. Feel free to ask any questions about this task here, or at my talk page. xenocidic (talk) 18:47, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

: Will take a look. --FGWQPR (talk) 19:13, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
