Adopting me

Am I doing this right? I want to contribute but obviously need to learn the ropes- you said you were interested in adopting me, sorry I didnt see it sooner. Oodleday (talk) 20:55, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

I am too busy at the moment-sorry! You may be better asking someone to help you who is on the current adoptors list. Sorry again!sillybillypiggy 17:02, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Logo

A fresh logo is waiting for you at the logo shop. Yum! Fresh logo! BTW, do you still want the sig, as I see that you've now got a green one (shamelessly stolen from Nerdyscience dude lol)? If you do, you mught be better off asking someone else like Wyatt915. Thanks, Rock drum _Ba-dum^Crash (Review me) 18:48, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

PS, As before, if you want any changes made to the logo, I can do that. Rock drum _Ba-dum^Crash (Review me)

"New messages" banner

Please remove the practical joke banner. Simulating the MediaWiki interface is strongly discouraged. —mono 04:19, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Additionally, I see many elements in your userpage (like your sig) that you've copied from other editors. See Copying within Wikipedia for info on properly attributing this content. —mono 04:25, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

I hate to be a party pooper Mono but you're not so good when it comes to copying other stuff too. For instance the navigation banner and your userpage. Rock drum _Ba-dum^Crash (Review me) 12:40, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Scuse me, but I've fixed that. —mono 20:02, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Geocaching WikiProject Newsletter - September 2010

WikiProject Geocaching Newsletter Issue 2 - September 2010
Project news The project has been going for many months now, and it's time to get it going again. Come on; encourage people to join, start editing articles again, please do what you can. The project is still being built up, and the infrastructure is still being worked on. But despite this, we are now ready to work on Geocaching-related and other, related articles .	Some project tips Use the {{WP GEOCACHING INVITE}} template to invite users. It has the chain letter effect and is very powerful for recruiting members. Pass it on. A few moments checking other editors contributions is always appreciated. Don't be shy on using the talk pages. It's where a lot of stuff gets decided. A good point being made can change the content of an encyclopedia depended on by many people. From the Editor Welcome to the second issue of The Geocaching WikiProject's newsletter! We hope that this newsletter will help members to find new things to do within the project that they may wish to participate in. Don't be afraid to suggest ideas through the main newsletter page, or even contribute yourself. It's people's ideas and assistance that make things like this possible. Thanks for being a member of the project and please make sure it continues by being active. This issue's contributors: Rock drum (talk · contribs) - Editor
Goals of the Month (Prioritized) The Project hasn't been really active of late, but to get it back, running again, please feel free to do one of the following: Inviting Users. Our most important task to complete right now is inviting users. Use this template. Create Templates. Create any templates you may find useful such as a userbox, etc. Discuss! PLEASE... discuss things about this project. Socializing is good! And, as always, Create Articles as listed at the Requested articles page! Complete Todo List: Open tasks for WikiProject Geocaching. Edit or discuss these tasks. You may also add a subject if it doesn't appear already. As the project is currently quite small, our more experienced editors are working on the project infrastructure and classifying articles. Your assistance is welcome. If you would prefer to just edit - and why wouldn't you? - we have a large selection of tasks below. Improve to GA: Geocaching. Project: invite members. If you complete one of these tasks, please remove it from the list and add your achievement to the project log.

Want to help on the next newsletter? Don't want to receive these in future? Other questions or complaints? - It's all here

Adopt-a-user reminder

Hello, I have completed a general cleanup of the adopter information page for the adopt-a-user project, located here. During my cleanup, I have removed several inactive and retired users. In order to provide interested adoptees with an easy location to find adopters, it is essential that the page be up-to-date with the latest information possible. Thus:

• If you are no longer interested in being an adopter, please remove yourself from the list.
• If you are still interested, please check the list to see if any information needs to be updated or added - especially your availability. Thank you.

• You are receiving this message because you are listed as an adopter here.
