I responded on Dennis's page[1]. I absolutely accept you were working in good faith, and apologies for my note that I mis-typed - you'll see all on Dennis's page. However in fairness Buster7 all 3 users you selected were banned - it's not the idea that's the problem it's just where you started. I hope you understand that putting the comments of users (some of whom might be fanatstic ppl off-wiki) who are banned could come across the way I read it. But I'm sorry if I misunderstood your intention here--Cailil ^talk 20:00, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

I also responded on Dennis's page. We are all back to square one. I had forgotten about L'Aqua. Remembering now, I think she jumped into the deep end too quickly and started a ball rolling that resulted in my friend getting crushed. Anyway, Thanks for reaching out to me and I return my extended hand to you. ```Buster Seven Talk 20:22, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Retain new editors

Hi Buster7! Zad68 created some teams for Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention. He currently placed you on the "Retain new editors" team. Are you interested in being a part of it? EpochFail is the team leader, but he will be out for the rest of the month so we'll need to start with some organization. I created Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Editor Retention/Retain new editors so we can centralize discussion. The page may be moved around later on. In any case, I hope you would be happy to join the team. Otherwise, you can always check out Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention#Project teams for some other teams that might interest you. Ryan Vesey Review me! 21:22, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Great! I usually find new editors via "recent changes", welcome them, and, if someone hits an early roadblock, I try to be a calming, forwarding voice in the midst of their plight (whatever it might be). Usually it's because they try to run before they crawl. The "WikiPedia Turnpike" is not a safe place for new drivers. Anyway. I'm on board and eager to work. ```Buster Seven Talk 21:32, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
