Should work now. — Jake Wartenberg 14:13, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Hello,

Yes is was me who ran the adoption program. I was sad to see Drew blocked, but I can see why. I've taken a break from my adoption program now; real life has got in the way of how much time I can spend on Wikipedia, and I don't think it would be fair on my adoptees.

However, if there is anything I can assist you with or a question you would like to ask, I will do my best to help you. Also, feel free to look through the pages within my adoption program; you might find something interesting.

I would be happy to take you on as an apprentice if you like. It wouldn't be the same as an adoption, but I would guide you as best I can. Gaia Octavia Agrippa ^Talk | _Sign 18:25, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

:Apprentice? How would it be different... And do I get an adoption page? I adopted 3 people awhile ago, I used that same technique, you know, the one you and Drew R. Smith used. I feel that it is more helpful than the regular adoption program. Programmer101^Talk_{What I do} 18:40, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

::I could give you a page if you like. It would be different because I wouldn't set you specific task, unless you want me to. Gaia Octavia Agrippa ^Talk | _Sign 18:45, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

:::Could you give me a specific task? I want you to treat me like a beginner, Like I aid, after the vandalism patrol incident, I shut myself of from wikipedia until 1 year. Its been 1 year. Programmer101^Talk_{What I do} 11:38, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

:Very well I will help as much as I can. To start with, I would strongly suggest that you cease editing with any other user name you have and just keep one. Once you have done that, and made it clear by redirecting or asking for them to be deleted, then I shall make you an adoption page. We can then start talking about where you want to go with you program. Gaia Octavia Agrippa ^Talk | _Sign 19:28, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

::I have redirected Programmer13 to this account (I would use that but I don't know the password) and I currently use this account only, Programmer103 is for protection and for anything that might emerge on Programmer13. I would not like to redirect or delete Programmer103, because I always feel safer with one account open at all times. Programmer101^Talk_{What I do} 20:09, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

:::Wow. I was wondering what happened to you after, that, thing. Anyway, it's good to see you back. Cheers, Abce2 (talk) 21:54, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Sandstein&diff=372261900&oldid=372251549 your candor]. Following your admission of being the blocked sockpuppeteer {{userlinks|Rangersarecool}}, I have blocked your accounts indefinitely. This is not because of the edits you made with these accounts, but because block evasion is normally sanctioned with an automatic block, per WP:EVADE. But in recognition of your spell of apparently nonproblematic editing, I have also asked for community input whether you should be given a second chance, at WP:ANI#Sockpuppet of Rangersarecool requests a second chance. Please wait until that discussion concludes. If your block is not lifted afterwards, you may appeal it as described at WP:GAB.  Sandstein  20:41, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

: My guess is you'll probably be unblocked and allowed to edit. Please be patient for a bit. Burpelson AFB (talk) 23:33, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

:The consensus in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&oldid=372342751#Sockpuppet_of_Rangersarecool_requests_a_second_chance ANI] discussion is clear enough that I have unblocked your account. I am sure that you realise that your account is likely to attract additional attention given your admission of your previous history. Good luck and welcome back.
