User talk:Trichoses

Thank you. It's taken me all this time to figure out how I might reply. I am not computer savvy. I need to study the links you provided to see if something there will help me with these basics. I hope this note reaches you! --Trichoses (talk) 05:06, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Got the note! Thanks. To be honest, I gave you these links, because they are a standard message, but they're not that great for beginners, some are alright. Did you read the note at the bottom? Adam Mugliston Talk 06:34, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean about adoption? Yes, and I do want to be adopted. I was just worried that my understanding of how websites work is at such a low level that I wasn't ready. However, I'd really appreciate some help if you're willing. --Trichoses (talk) 17:39, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I'm definitely willing. Why don't you fill out this: User:Adam mugliston/Adopt/Entry/Trichoses and then we can get started. Adam Mugliston Talk 17:54, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like we have a few things in common. I also like cats (although I don't have one) and I play the piano. I'll set up your adoption page for you, it should be ready in a few minutes. I'll put in the wiki markup lesson, the basic codes on Wikipedia, so you can have a look. Tell me how you get on. Adam Mugliston Talk 18:28, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's all ready. Have a look here: User:Adam mugliston/Adopt/Trichoses. Good luck! Adam Mugliston Talk 18:30, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I started reading and then a friend called. I'll keep reading later on and gets back to you. thank you for your help. It's great being able to communicate with a real person about all this --Trichoses (talk) 22:11, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Hope you had a nice conversation. I answered all your questions on our talk page. Adam Mugliston Talk 06:37, 16 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Adoption[edit]

Hi!

I see you're looking for a mentor. I have a new adoption school, so if you would like to join, let me know. I have 9 lessons with tasks to complete, which should give you enough knowledge to get by on Wikipedia easily. Adam Mugliston Talk 10:31, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
