I would be happy to adopt you. Let me tell you a little bit about myself and how I see the adoption process working then you can let me know if you want to proceed. First off I have been editing here for about seven months and even though I have done a fair bit of editing in different areas there are aspects of wikipedia that I have not been involved with so I may not always have the answer to your questions but I will do my best to help you with all of the basics. I do have a few basic tasks that I think are important for new editors to learn so they can get a feel for some of the various aspects of wikipedia. You can see them here: User:Captain-tucker/Adoption Center in the adoptee tasks section, there are four recommended tasks that I would like to you perform successfully as part of this process in addition being the first place you go for answers to your questions. Let me know if you would like to proceed. --Captain-tucker (talk) 20:17, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
