From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to Adam Mugliston's Adopt-a-User program! As that I don't know much about you, I would like you to fill out a questionnaire that I made.

But before that; About Me.

Me[edit]

I have been on Wikipedia for almost 4 years, although I did sometimes have long breaks. So far, I have made over 5,300 edits. I mainly create and edit articles to do with buses, as that is my hobby. I also do some anti-vandalism work, I'm a member of the Welcoming Committee and I also potter around with other bits and bobs. My other interests include various other forms of public transport, cats and music. I am usually on for a very short while in the mornings, about 7.30am - 8.30am and then I am on from 4pm - 10.30pm (all times in GMT). On weekends I am usually on from 8.30am - 11pm.

You[edit]

Now tell me about you.

About Yourself[edit]

Age: (I am asking, so I can know who I will be mentoring. Below I have listed a few age ranges, so you don't have to disclose your real age. If you don't feel comfortable telling me this, that's fine.)

  • My 37th birthday is next week. I would like to have this project done as a gift for myself for my birthday.
  • Under 18
  • 18-24
  • 25-34
  • 35-44
  • 45-54
  • 55-64
  • 65-74
  • 75 and over

Your interests: (Just tell me what you like doing)

  • I am interested in ecology as diplomacy. The Wiki project is a project

for a class at Prescott College through my internship at the Musuem of Northern Arizona. Thus my interest in Wiki is to finish a class project.

When are you online?

  • On the weekend I am online after 11 am mountain time and on weekdays after 5 pm

Your activities on Wikipedia: (What have you done so far?) I have read a lot of the 'how to create a page' stuff and watched some youtube videos on the topic.

How long have you been on Wikipedia? I have been on wiki for a couple of months trying to finish this project for my internship.

Out of 1 - 10, rate how advanced you are: (I am not really expecting anything over 3, a 1 would be knowing the very basics of wiki markup, a 10 would be someone who took part in all kinds of tasks on Wikipedia.) 3

What you hope to get out of mentoring/adopting[edit]

Is there an area you think we should particularly work on?

I will need to work on phrasing my writing in a way that is appropriate for this forum. As well as learning the codes that are used to create a Wiki article.

What do you hope to achieve by the time you graduate? I hope to be able to create the most basic article that I can on Mary-Russell Ferrell Colton, local artist and advocate. After the basic article is created I have several people who can edit and improve the basic artcle. This is as I said a project for Prescott College and my internship at the Musuem of Northern Arizona. After the basic artcle is complete. I am hoping that it inspires others to edit and improve with photos and other copyright materials that I do not have access to.
