Hi Tom Bondas! Welcome aboard, and happy Wiki'ing! If you have any questions you can message me. Herostratus (talk) 02:52, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Another option[edit]

You might check out Wikipedia:Adopt-a-user. I stumbled across it after I had been here long enough that I didn't think I needed it, so I don't have first person experience with it, but it sounds like something that might fit your request.--SPhilbrick T 16:02, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Adoption request[edit]

Hello there, TomBondasSonofBondinBondonice! I'm Netalarm and I've been around on Wikipedia for quite some time now. It appears that you've indicated that you want to be adopted on your user page. While you can wait for an adopter to come forward and offer to adopt you, I would highly recommend that you also actively seek an adopter. From the cases I've seen, I've noticed that it is often much faster if the adoptee also actively participates in the matching process.

When choosing an adopter (click here for a list), there are a few things you'll want to check. First of all, you'll want to check if they are available. The column with the label "Adoption status" will tell you if they are able to accept more adoptees. You may also want to choose an adopter that has similar interests, which are indicated in the "Interests" column, though it is not required you do so. Once you have found an adopter you want, you may message them on their talk page and ask to be adopted. If you have any questions about this process (or about Wikipedia in general), feel free to message me on my talk page.

Wisdom89[edit]

I see you have requested adoption from Wisdom89 here. First of all, I would like to thank you for taking the initiative and tried to find an adopter! Very few individuals that want to be adopted actually take this first step, so your participation is greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, the adopter you have asked is no longer active and has been removed from the program. An adopter will come by and offer you adoption soon, if you are still interested. Thank you.

Adoption[edit]

Hi Tom Bond! I'm The Arbiter, and I have been editing Wikipedia for quite a while. I saw that you requested adoption. I would be willing to adopt you and show you the ropes. Would you like me to adopt you? The Arbiter^★_★^★ 02:20, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
