Feel free to drop a line any time, though. | I edit on a wide range of topics and also do some small routine tasks to make it easier to find stuff in Wikipedia. I try to be positive and helpful. I try not to get into arguments, but i can try to help you if you got yourself into one. I can give advice on simple formatting and style and help you understand the secrets of all those weird words in the Wikipedian jargon, such as PROD, POV, NPOV, AFD, CFD, CSD, redirect, DAB, NOR, etc. | Leave a message on my talk page any time.

I participate with articles for deletion regularly, as well as monitoring the help desk. | Even if you don't need adoption, I can be reached on my talkpage, and if I can't help you, I can probably point you to someone who can, or to the page(s) to find answers. |
| Arknascar44 (talk · contribs · count) | No | Not adopting at this time, sorry :( | I do my best to help out wherever I can.

| Casliber (talk · contribs · count) | Yes | Adopted two - User:Aharon42 and User:Arjun G. Menon.

Chubbennaitor 21:11, 11 July 2008 (UTC) |
| Cielomobile (talk · contribs · count) | No | Adopting. | My interests in Wikipedia vary, from recent changes patrol to deletion debates. In terms of specific subject interests, I edit articles in the general spheres of music and politics, but I stray into other areas too. | I've been sporadically editing Wikipedia since early 2006 (under this account and IPs) and actively editing Wikipedia since about October 2006. |
| Climie.ca (talk · contribs · count) | No | Ready to adopt new users | I am primarily involved in the Military History Project (my area of expertise). I also involve myself in peer review, assessment drives, project logistics, and the like. | I am on wikipedia at least once every day (provided I'm not on Vacation or anything). I've been editing wikipedia under this username since March . I'm editing my main article worklist almost every day, so I'm almost always available for support & queries. |
| Cyclonenim (talk · contribs · count) | No | Currently adopting Pozilla (talk · contribs) and Ships at a Distance (talk · contribs) but willing to adopt more. | I'm a regular participator in WikiProject Medicine and other science articles.

I'm on pretty much every day except for when I'm on holiday, so feel free to drop me a line. I won't bite. Much. :) |
| Danielspencer91 (talk · contribs · count) | No | Adopting now!. | On Wikipedia, I spend a lot of time on cleanup, cleaning up articles. I'm also a bit of a joker (see my Userpage!) | I may be offline for long periods due to a busted PC but I will have a new one soon!. |
| Darthgriz98 (talk · contribs · count) | No | All booked, but you can still ask me for help. | I am interested in science, music, scouting, Star Wars, and video games, but I can help you on other things too if you want me to. I also revert vandalism and am an RC Patroller and you can check out my user page to see what else I do around Wikipedia. | I'm in EST and am on Wikipedia most nights and occasionally the afternoon or morning, but I check periodically throughout the day and will get back to you as fast as I can. |
| Dcoetzee (talk · contribs · count) | Yes | Currently unavailable. | I'm an administrator on the English Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons and I'm familiar with most policies, I've added significant new content and done a lot of image work, I'm good at editing others' work, and I enjoy helping people. I have topical expertise in computer science and mathematics. | Please just leave a notice on my talk page. |
| — Deckiller | Yes | Unavailable; all booked. | I'm an 18 year old administrator who has been with the project for nearly two years. I contribute all over Wikipedia, including topics such as video games, history, sports, music, and general fiction. I work on administrator duties every now and then, but my focus is on the encyclopedia itself, including revamping our coverage of video games and fiction so that we shift from a fictional database of in-universe information to a source of professional and concise coverage of all aspects of fiction - including real-life reception and influence. I am also an avid copy-editor. Primarily, I'm looking to help users interested in fictional areas, music, or sports; I'll explain the ropes, the tips, and what you can do to become a productive and respected user. If this sounds interesting to you, please view my userpage and its subpages for more! | I am available most days, usually at random times. At most, it will take me twelve hours to respond to any questions/comments. Although my timezone is EST, I'm often nocturnal, depending on the situations at hand. |
| DeLarge (talk · contribs · count) | No | Not currently adopting. Adoptee(s): Vertilly, Awesome Truck Ramp |
I've now been here for a year, working mostly on auto-related pages (esp. Mitsubishi Motors-related material). However, I spread myself around as much as I can, and I've found that I know my way around WP's policies and guidelines quite well. I'd hope that if someone came to me for assistance I'd be helpful, approachable, and a useful voice of reason. | I watch (though I don't necessarily edit) WP most days between about 0900 and 2100 GMT (0400 to 1600 EST). Less regularly at weekends, but I'm rarely unavailable for more than 24 hours. Informal assistance is also available via my talk page if you just need one-off advice, of course. |
| Dendodge (talk · contribs · count) | No | Current adoptee: User:Q5967 - I could easily handle more! | I'd be happy to adopt absolutely anybody, and doing so would hopefully rekindle my interest and increase my Wikipedia activity. | I generally edit Wikipedia from school, using my sockpuppet account, Densock. |
| Deryck Chan (talk · contribs · count) | Yes | Current adoptees: RanDawg, Edna H., Lauchuklam, Drahcir; willing to adopt more upon direct request by potential adoptee. | Article-writing | UTC+8, semi-active with fluctuating online patterns |
| Deskana | Yes | Open to any questions from all users, but not adopting more users. | I mainly perform administrator related tasks, such as commenting on WP:AN, WP:ANI, RC Patrolling (though not as much nowadays) and blocking vandals, protecting pages etc. I am also a bureaucrat so I promote other users to administrators, rename users and grant bot flags. I have a few users who use me as a first point of contact regarding matters that require the administrator buttons. I live in the GMT time zone, but being a university student I have no regular sleep pattern and go out frequently. I guess you can most likely find me here between 1200 UTC - 0200 UTC. | I warn you, I've been told before that I can be quite terse, and I know I can be quite strict; please be aware of that. |
| Dev920 (talk · contribs · count) | No | Currently have seven adoptees, of which six are only semi-active. I am therefore willing to take on people who want me in particular and any member of WP:LGBT, but people just looking for a random adopter I ask to give me a miss. | I write FA articles (five so far), |
I am willing to help or answer questions from anyone who contacts me, be you new or otherwise. |
| Dihydrogen Monoxide (talk · contribs · count) | No | (Almost) Always open! | This and that. Editing, using Lupin's tools to revert vandalism, helping out. I'm also on IRC a lot. | In Australia, so time zone may do some damage. But it shouldn't! |
| DiligentTerrier (and friends) |
Not yet! | Adopting now. | I am currently accepting adoptees. To learn more about me, you can visit my userpage, which I update more often than this section. I work on improving articles, and I am involved with several WikiProjects. I have a wide knowledge of Wikipedia policy, and "nerd" stuff, like templates and using ParserFunctions. I am also a recent changes patroller, and I revert vandalism whenever I can. Let me know if you would like for me to adopt you by leaving a message on my talk page. Thanks! | I live in Florida, USA which is on the Eastern Time Zone (North America). I am on Wikipedia almost every day. |
| dgies (talk · contribs · count) | Yes | Full for now, but always available to answer questions. | I've done a lot of vandal-fighting, and I'm pretty experienced in technical matters, so if you need to know how to do something, I probably know or can find out. | Best way to get help is by leaving a message on my talk page. |
| Docboat (talk · contribs · count) | No | Adopted Petalglassjade. Two further open offers, no response - so ready for more | I am fairly busy in real life, but will be pleased to help if you are stuck. Leave a message on my talk page | Leave a message on my talk page |
| Dfrg.msc (talk page) | No | Available to adopt. | You can find out everything about me from my main page. | I'm on Wiki once or twice a day. |
| Doug (talk · contribs · count) | No | I have one adoptee and one voluntary probation, could take more | Informal coordinator of two projects (WikiProject Agriculture and WikiProject European history) and active in others, participate frequently in Deletion Debates and dispute resolution, work to copyedit articles and find cites and fight vandalism when I find it. Heavily involved in copyright issues. I use rollback and a variety of scripts, including Twinkle and Friendly, but don't own a bot and I'm weak on template code. | I check my talk page and watch list several times a day. |
| Dreamafter (talk · contribs · count) | No | Can adopt. 1-2 is all that I can take. | Well, if you ever need to just ask a question, I am more than happy to answer it, and if you feel the undying urge to ask a whole bunch of questions, why not just ask the most important one, "Will you adopt me?". After that I can still answer all your questions. I have done a lot, and would probably be of most help to someone interested in WWII or Canada. | I do a lot of vandal hunting, with my Anti-Vandal Tool, a lot of page deletion checks, a lot of putting patent nonsense page up for deletion, and reverting vandals. |
| Dustihowe (talk · contribs · count) | No | Willing to take more. | On Wikipedia, I mostly revert vandalism. Also vote on deletion debates. | If you need help, leave a message on my talkpage. |

| ~~Eugene2x Sign here ? ~~ | No | Not enough time in a day right now to spend much time on Wikipedia. Hopefully, I could get on more in the summer... | I usually revert vandalism daily using VandalProof. Occasionally I make mistakes and revert "valid" edits, but hey, don't we all? I especially like to contribute to articles relating to Nintendo, particularly the Mario Kart series articles. I also contribute to articles relating to PCs, such as Microsoft Windows. Again, if you wish to be adopted, feel free to leave a note on my talk page. | Since I'm usually busy with other things, it may take a week before I receive a message. And I have this little habit of not replying, so if I don't send you back a message, that probably means that I probably refused your offer (no offense though.) |
| --eric (mailbox) | No | Currently has adoptee | Registered with Wikipedia in May of 2006. I help keep Wikipedia non-sense free by dealing primarily in removing vandalism, patrolling new pages including WP:AfD and WP:IfD, updating articles, citing sources and creating new accounts for people.

Feel free to visit me at my user page to find out more about me and my contributions, if you're interested! | Mostly available weekdays, not so much on the weekends but leave me a message so we can plan! :-) |
| Eusebeus (talk · contribs · count) | No | Available to adopt | Wikipedian since May 05 so I know my way around pretty well and am happy to share my general familiarity with most areas of policy, practice and editing. | Leave me a note on my talk page if you wish to get in contact with me. |

| Evaunit666 (talk · contribs · count) | No | Available to adopt | i mostly start pages for weird video games. im probably one of the more understanding people on talk pages and never lose my head. i collect cool things on my user page that i can show you (i can do some interesting things here). i like to build up stubs no one knows about and make small edits. im no good at editing science stuff or math stuff, but i could certainly show you how to. | personally, id choose me if you want someone nice and understanding. if youre cold and hate anything social, i could probably still help you out. I really dont know what my edit count is, but its gotta be over 500. im usually on around 8pm-12am, New York time. |
| Excirial (talk · contribs · count) | No | One adoptee and three open offers. Still adopting, but depending on the question volume i might respond slower then usual. / Always open for questions. | Im mainly doing maintenance work, although i have some experience in creating articles. My main activities are Vandalism patrol, New Page Patrol and User Name Patrol. I can also help with most cases of Wikipedia Syntax/Writing articles and questions about Rules and guidelines. | As stated, you can always ask me a question on my Talk Page, no matter if you want to be adopted or not :). Im trying to check my wikipedia account at least once a day, so most times you will receive responce shortly. |
| Fang Aili (talk · contribs · count) | Yes | Full up; have 2 adoptees, other obligations. Always open to questions though. | I've done a lot in many areas. Currently coordinator of Admin coaching.

If you need to talk to me you can email me or contact me on my talk page. |
| Fr33kman (talk · contribs · count) | No | Adopting users | Registered in Dec of 2006; I do a lot of dispute resolution via WP:3 and WP:MEDCAB. I also edit simple: Wikipedia a lot. In mainspace here my efforts are varied and I have no particular subject area in which I edit, preferring instead to work on backlogs, wikignoming. I also am willing to adopt users who have had problems here, ex-vandals, blocked, previous edit war'ers etc. | Available fairly regularly, but can't get too deeply bogged down. |
| Gimme danger (talk · contribs · count) | No | Adopting users | I generally do gnomish things, but occasionally venture out into actual editing. I'm active in vandal patrol and the Tibet Wikiproject, with special interests in citations and referencing, assessment, and style editing. However, I've done pretty much everything there is to do at least once, so whatever you need help with I can either handle myself or point you in the right direction. As of now I've accumulated 10000+ edits. | UTC-5, if that's important to you. I'm a student and an insomniac, so time zones don't matter too much for me. |
| GreenRunner0 (talk · contribs · count) | No | I've been around long enough to know how to get involved and what not to do. I mainly patrol for vandalism. I can show the basics on how to write musical group articles. | Usually on every day. I'm at UTC−6. | |
| Greeves (talk · contribs · count) | Yes | I'm quite metapedianist so I'm not an expert on article writing though I can show you the basics of it. I feel comfortable around the inner-workings of Wikipedia. | I'm UTC-5 currently. I am sometimes available on weekday evenings, though I'm mostly active on weekends. | |
| Guyinblack25 (talk · contribs · count) | No | Open for new adoptees. Currently have three Adoptees, but two seem to be inactive. | I generally hover around the topics that I'm knowledgeable about/interested in, which has been video games lately. If I see some articles in disarray I try to do some clean up. I have a good handle on wiki markup and have experience with FAC, GAN, creating templates, mergers, and splitting articles up. | I'm normally on Wikipedia frequently, and am available for questions. I don't know everything, but I'll do my best to answer the question. In case it matters, my time zone is UTC-5. |
| Haemo (talk · contribs · count) | Yes | Willing to help out new editors. | I'm a kind of general purpose editor, who can usually advice you on a number of issues with respect to Wikipedia. | Contact me via my talk page, or email. |
| Happy-melon | No | Hit me! (Not literally, please) | I tend to work on our large glut of fictional topics, but I'll copyedit anything that can't get out of the way fast enough! When fictional series spill over into AfD, PR or FAC, I'll be there too. | I'm here whenever you need me. |
| Harland1 (talk · contribs · count) | No | Ready to adopt now! | Work in all areas really: vandal fighting, article writing (generally WWII/WWI and other military history articles) are the main ones, I hope I can answer your questions and help you out, with around 4000 edits I think I'm fairly experienced. | GMT if that makes a difference. I edit almost every day, if I'm away I will say on my talk page. |
| HarrisonB - Talk | No | Currently adopting | I work on articles that interest me, such as automobile articles. I also occasionally partake in vandal fighting. With over 2,200 edits which include one article being promoted to Good Article status and a couple of Did you Know facts being displayed on the Main Page, I am experienced. | I am normally here everyday, just go by my talk page to see if I am on a break. |
| Hersfold (talk · contribs · count) | Yes | Currently have an adoptee, and don't have time to start another just now. Sorry. | All-around editor.

| Highfields (talk · contribs · count) | No | Got some adoptees, ready to help adopt more! | I have been on Wikipedia since December 2006 and have taken part of various aspects of Wikipedia editing, including creating and editing articles, fighting vandalism, and contributing to discussions. I will help any editor who requires assistance, however trivial, to the best of my ability, even if your not my adoptee. | If you would like me to adopt you, I would appreciate it if you would leave a message on my talk page and tell me a bit about what you plan on doing on Wikipedia but wherever possible I will seek out in the adoptee's area the adoptee's in most need of my help, nevertheless I'm always happy to help any number of people that need it, any time of the day (within reason!). |
| Hiltonhampton (talk · contribs · count) | No | Adopting now! act fast! | Hi! I am particular interested in someone interested in British/American television, modern celebrities.

I am a Apprentice Editor. | Please contact me via my talkpage. I am online every single day, garrunteed, bar none! |
| --Hirohisat Kiwi | No | Currently not accepting any | I am a graduate of the adoption program, I sort of understand what I expect for the adoptees to ask me about.

Currently in a hectic state with school, and once I get over it I will start adopting once more. |

Terrible spelling (but I keep it under control with firefox), poor grammar. |
| Ilyushka88 (talk · contribs) | No | Full, but I will help anyone when needed. | I mostly ry to prevent vandalism, but I often try to create/clean articles too. Pretty much experience from all kind of editing. | I usually am signed in every day for a few (2-6) hours. |
| IMatthew (talk · contribs) | No | Yes, I'm adopting. Feel free to ask! | I am active in many areas of Wikipedia. I'm sure I can help out with anything. | I can help teach you the ropes of Wikipedia, from Wiki-markup to writing an article. |

| Jack (talk · contribs) | No | Not currently adopting, inactive over Christmas | I have a knowledge of how to get new users started, and I'm good at answering questions.

Also available through e-mail and instant messengers. |
| Jade Knight (talk · contribs) | No (I am an admin on the Norman Wikipedia) | Adopting by request only | I've been around, first as an anonymous editor, and then as a registered editor, for 4+ years. I do some gnome work-interwiki links, spelling & grammar, checking citations, &c. Occasionally I'll make significant contributions and I frequently engage in discussion and consensus-building. I've been around the reference desk some, and I'm always looking for accuracy and neutrality in articles—particularly controversial ones. I contribute in various other ways from time to time, as well. | I'm active on the Norman Wikipedia, and very active at Wikiversity, but I usually stop by here at least once a day. I'd be happy to answer questions, or help wherever else I may. |
| Jake the Editor Man (talk · contribs) | Regrettably not | Adopting | I have a good knowledge of most syntax. I have recently made myself a new page patroller. I mostly copyedit as opposed to contributing content. | I am with UTC and am usually available around UTC 1630-2100 weekdays. |

(8 am—10 pm EST) |
| Jayron32 (talk · contribs) | Yes | Adopting | I am pretty good at negotiating the ins-and-outs of writing a good article. I am a frequent GA and FA reviewer, and have learned the ropes at Wikipedia quite well in the year I have been here. I am willing to share what I have learned with anyone who needs it. | I check in usually once a day, most days 2 or 3 times. I am quite an adict. |
| Jameson L. Tai (talk) | No | Full, but I will help anyone when needed. | I actively participate in WikiProject Robotics. I also do new page patrols, where I tag articles for speedy deletion, AfD them, prod, and other tags when and if necessary. I'm also a frequent Huggle user. I also sometimes poke my nose into articles where I understand/live around the subjects, like San Francisco, California-related articles, Melbourne, Florida-related articles, etc. I would like to help users settle into Wikipedia, understand his/her editing strengths and approach from there. No two editors on Wikipedia are alike. This creates a wonderful atmosphere for editors to grow in their own way...and I'd love to be the guiding hand. | Available almost everyday, unless I'm working/rushing on a project at school or I'm out of town. I'll generally be around at night around 8:00pm EST (U -5:00) as well as weekends. There's really no set time on when I sleep, so as long as I start on something I'll probably won't quit until I fall asleep on my keyboard around 2 or 3am EST (and then wake up with a keyboard imprint on my face...but I digress...) Feel free to send me a message on just about anything whether you're an adoptee or not. You may also contact via ##wikipedia connect. See you around! |
| jj137 (talk · contribs) | Yes | Adopting. | I'm a sysop, and I work mostly with sports-related articles (but I will edit anywhere). I like to new page patrol, revert vandalism, along with many other tasks.

| John Carter (talk · contribs · count) | yes | Ready to adopt. | Don't have as much experience as a lot of others writing articles, although I tend to think I am a good copyeditor. Work primarily with WikiProjects, including creation, development, template work, etc. If you are an editor who would like to work with assessment, and possibly peer review, I might be of use to you. Primary fields of interest are biographical and religious content and related items. | E-mail or leave a message on my talk page. |
| jonny-mt (talk · contribs) | No | Available to adopt | I edit a random assortment of video game articles, Japan-related articles, and whatever shiny thing happens to catch my eye at the time. Most of my work is behind the scenes, where I work on everything from policy discussions to newpage patrol to templates and images to welcoming new users. Hopefully one of those will prove useful :) | I'm on Wikipedia almost every day. My time zone is +9 (Japan). |
| Jw21/PenaltyKillah(discuss•edits) | No... | 1st-time Adopter, & open to all! | Nowadays, I deal with articles related or associated to digital audio players (which is MP3 players to you non-geeks out there!) You'll find me busy at iriver clix, SanDisk Sansa, Creative ZEN, and Comparison of portable media players. Thanks to being an avid hockey fan, I had updated stats on players' articles. Although I am trying to re-start it, I used to be a RC Patroller. Oh yes, I love making userboxes! | Killed no birds, but spared no ants. I'm usually available at my talk page, but adoptees must be responsible and considerate in a world of spammers, vandals, and sock puppets. I will try my best to hand down my few polished skills, as long as one can make the best use of it. If you don't test my patience, I won't test yours. My time zone's GMT -8 (or Pacific Daylight Time), btw. So get on the WikiBandwagon! |
| Jonathan (talk · contribs) | No | Full, but I will help anyone when needed. | I am pretty varied in my work. Mostly, I do vandal reverts, but I do have many encyclopedic contributions. I'm good with meteorology- and Nickelodeon-related articles. If you need any help in these areas, please do ask. | Email is enabled, and I'm on usually from 10 AM to 9 PM CDT (-5 UTC) |
| Jza84 (talk · contribs) | No | Adopting and available! (pick me!) | I have been editing the English version of Wikipedia since around December 2005. I am interested in (and thus concentrate on editing) the Geography of Greater Manchester, ethnic groups, map-making, and increasingly the United Kingdom and Britishness. | I am online nearly everyday (and more often than not, everynight!) in the Greenwich Mean Time zone. I believe I am a great mediator, have a sound knowledge of policy and think I could bring the best out of any adoptee! |
| Kerotan (talk) | No | Available to adopt 3 users. | I spend lots of time at the helpdesk, making gnomish style edits (and some larger ones too) to random pages, and I have a general interest in most topics, including but not limited to, history, video games and geography and geology. I am on line most days, around evening sort of time UTC, some days longer than others. If a message on my talk page goes unanswered for 24 hours (which is unlikely), the chances are that I am not near a PC. I have already adopted one user, but in fairness, he not asked much of me. I do from time to time do the occasional vandal whack, which is mixed in with my other edits, as well as tagging pages and participating in disscusions. It fair to say that my field of experience of wikipedia is general. | |
| Karrmann | No | Free to adopt | I have been editing for about two years, mostly on automobile articles. WHile my niche is in automobile articles, I am able to help any editor learn the ropes of how Wikipedia works no matter what their niche, as I am also flexiable and generally also add info to biographical and many other articles that I have information that I can contribute to. I am on Wikipedia every day, and will easilly be able to be there when my adoptee needs me. | |

(Disregard the top message). |

| Lex94 | No | I'll adopt anyone who is in need of help, or just wants to have fun on wiki! | Hey, I am Lex! I am a member of various WikiProjects, but mostly participate in the Professional Wrestling WikiProject, as it's my favorite hobby. I'm more of an Organizer and Editor than a vandal-fighter. Well, if you want to be my adoptee, or just need some help: Check my Talk Page! | I am on WikiPedia every single day every afternoon, and in cases like today (a weekend), I am during the mornings too.

| RichardΩ612 Ɣ ɸ | No | No current adoptees, willing to adopt | I am involved in multiple areas of Wikipedia including XfDs, anti-vandalism, Changing Username requests and Account Creation.

| Rockpocket | Yes | I have 3 adoptees currently, so will only adopt again if absolutely required. | My editing interests are eclectic, my userpage gives a flavour of the articles I work on.

I work on Pacific time, if real-time interaction is important to you, but will always reply to messages or emails promptly. Drop me a line if I can be of assistance! |
| RyRy (talk) | No | Willing to adopt one, maybe two users at the time. Please ask on my talk page. You can click here to do so. I won't adopt just anyone though; I do a small review before I decide to adopt. | Hi, my name is RyRy (talk · contribs · count). I mentor using my adoption page I created. The page is generally just to help my adoptees gain more experience, rather than just asking questions on my talk page. I'll be available to answer any questions you may have and will be able to mentor you in the adoption page. In fact, I'm pretty much available around the clock (except when I'm asleep or on wikibreak). However, I will not take responsibility for your edits. I will guide you, make suggestions, etc., so you can improve as a Wikipedian. However, the final call on the edits you make will always be yours. I will happily graduate you when I think you have learned as much as I can teach you. Then, you may be free to do whatever you would like to improve Wikipedia yourself with the knowledge I have taught you. | For more information about myself, visit my user page. For more information on my adoption program, visit my adoption page. Thanks! |

I am primarily active with the Anime and manga WikiProject, the Video games WikiProject, and the Films WikiProject. My accomplishments on Wikipedia and userboxes detailing greater information about myself are free for your review.

I won't follow you around or check-up on your edits unless you ask me about something that's going on. I will be available to discuss Wikipedia with you whenever you want; my goal is not to teach you a set of rules, but to teach you to think -- I will try to show you the whys of things instead of the hows.
