General questions to Zurak26

Questions for Zurak26. Please add your reply after A:

1. How would you describe your past experience?

A: Past experiences have been good so far. I have mostly only been doing small edits, and so it has been easy, and have had no problems.

2. You have one edit to images here on English Wikipedia and you said that you especially want help with image upload and copyright tagging. Do you have an account in Wikimedia Commons?

A: I do not have an account with Wikimedia Commons I don't think. I have seen it but don't really know anything about it, so haven't used it.

3. Is there any other areas of editing you are particularly interested in?

A: I don't have the time to be a very regular, or thorough editor, but I am particularly interested in editing and adding to pages of bands I like (Especially New Zealand bands which have very little information on their pages), updating current sporting events, as well as other pages

4. Have you ever had problems with other users in the past?

A: No I haven't really had any other problems with other users. Although one user did falsely accuse me of putting false information on a page. They didn't read the page history correctly and though I was the one putting on false information, when it was actually someone else. But other than that, I've had no problems.

Adopt offer

Hey, Zurak26! I see that you have expressed an interest in being adopted by a more experienced editor. I would love to adopt you and help you with everything related to Wikipedia. Please, if you accept my offer, reply here. I have added this page to my watchlist, and I see when you reply.  Ilyushka88 Talk to me 14:52, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Hey Ilyushka88 :) Thanks heaps for adopting me, and helping teach me the ways of Wikipedia! I have done a reasonable amount of editing, but only small edits to pages, so am keen to learn a bit more detailed stuff. The main thing I want to know about right now is about how to upload pictures (especially album covers), and what you have to put for the copyright explanation and stuff. I've read some pages saying what to do, but am still a bit confused? Anyway, thanks for adopting me, and thanks for the help :) Zurak26 (talk) 07:08, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Hey again, Zurak26. First of all, I'm glad that you have accepted my adoption offer. I have created a page to User:Ilyushka88/Adoption/Zurak26 where we can collect our experiences about the adoption. It is best to have everything that has something to do with this adoption on the same page. I'm asking you to answer the four questions there, so I know better where to start. Oh by the way, when you reply to someone who wrote to you, you don't need to create new level 2 header like ==Re: Adopt offer==. WP:TP has great advices about talk pages. When you reply to someone, you can use indentation (WP:TP#Indentation). That makes it easier for people to read the page. Ilyushka ☃^Talk!_Contribs 08:22, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi there! I have completed the four questions you asked me to complete. Sorry it has taken me a while, as I don't come on here too much, or at least not the last few weeks. Ah, thanks for the advice about replying.. that is one thing I haven't really done on wikipedia! Thanks again for adopting me! Zurak26 (talk) 02:06, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
