Hi there, I would be happy to adopt you, what areas of Wikipedia do you need help with because although I'm taking a short break from Wikipedia I'll still be signing in every now and then to check my messages. Also now you have been adopted, you may wish to place this userbox on your User Page and removed the one which is asking for adoption so their is no confusion. heres the code: {{ Adoptee | Adopter's Username }}.

- I do not think there is any need for me to adopt you, I already have anyway but you requested that the below user adopt you too, it says on WP:ADOPT that users should only have one adopter, more than one is not necessary however I can still help you - should you require this.Tellyaddict 17:55, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Adoption
editHI there,
Adoption confirmed - will change templates later - for the last few weeks have had some major broadband connection problems - but hopefully that will be fixed in the near future and normal service resumed. Cheers Lethaniol 17:24, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
I see that you welcomed this user to the English Wikipedia. Did you not think that there was something odd about their username before you issued the welcome? Check out WP:USERNAME to see what is and isn't acceptable. It may have been better to report it to WP:AIV as a violation of the policy. Regards, (aeropagitica) 17:57, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Traits Of A Responsible Man (Trader)
editWhat It Means To Be Responsible - My Personal Experience
A responsible man first accepts and understands the need for the existence of irresponsible human beings, for without them there will not be a balanced life. A responsible man also understands to be responsible is not that easy but eventually achievable
A responsible man (trader) treats trading as a business not as a hobby
A responsible man (trader) respects every aspect of his business
A responsible man (trader) applies his personal life principles, values in his business
A responsible man (trader) works more on himself than spending time on trading systems
A responsible man (trader) first spends time learning the very basic requirements of his business and then starts applying and practicing, for he understands trading is an on-going process, every trade is unique, in every trade there is a lesson to learn.
A responsible man (trader) does not invest today with the dream of becoming rich yesterday
A responsible man (trader) holds only his actions/inactions accountable for his successes and failures, does not waste time passing the buck on world events and others.
A responsible man (trader) works regularly on learning more from his successes than his failures, for he considers failures as events of the tasks he undertook.
A responsible man (trader) employs his full emotions in his business, he doesn’t waste time controlling something that was not acquired from a super market
A responsible man (trader) learns the importance of savings
A responsible man (trader) closes his terminals once he has achieved his daily targets, whether in one trade or multiple trades
The ugly side of the sub-prime, Alt-A, B etc. was known way back in 2007 itself. It’s the total irresponsibility of us, which led to this catastrophic situation; I don’t squarely blame only the banks and institutions. If and when a friend of mine comes and tells me, there is a bank which offers loan without any valid documents and only they charge higher interest, and he wants to go for it when he is not earning adequately to support him, I would slap him and tell him to forget it.
The greed of big guys did not ask or tell us to fall for their greed. It did only warn us on time to stay away from it.
We are more focused on analyzing the character of our politicians but we fail to understand our own. It’s high time we started doing that first, if we wish to become not only successful in trading but mainly in life in a responsible manner.
Healthy And Wealthy Trading

Would you be interested in joining this project? We need more editors who share a burden for rescuing promising editors who have gotten into serious trouble because of behavioral issues. IF (a fundamental condition!) they are interested in reforming and adapting to our standards of conduct, and are also willing to abide by our policies and guidelines and cooperate with others, we can offer to help them return to Wikipedia as constructive editors. We should offer them a proper way to return. If you think this is a good idea, please join us. Abce2|AccessDenied 19:51, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Welcoming
editHi RatónBat! You appear to be welcoming en masse newly created users who haven't made any edits. Generally, this is frowned upon: it is a waste of bandwidth and time because 90% of new editors never edit; it interferes with vandalism patrols by blue-linking the talk page; and your welcome message is HUGE, presenting new users with a confusing bombardment of information and reducing the utility of their talk pages. Please would you consider not continuing with this? Thanks! ➲ redvers throwing my arms around Paris 13:23, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
- As I said, 90% will never edit, so you're wasting time that you could be using to make an encyclopedia. The blue-linked talk pages can get in the way of vandalhunting, again wasting time that could be used to make an encyclopedia. Your absolutely huge welcome template is just scary, bombarding new users with information and putting them off. It also makes their talk page difficult to understand for them and difficult for them to use. So far, I can't find an upside in what you're doing, but the downsides are pretty bad.
- Whilst I'm here, could you please do something about your signature, which is disruptively large in the edit box? This
- '''<font face="Comic Sans MS">[[User:RatónBat|<span style="color:darkblue">Ratón</span>]][[WP:TCG|<span style="color:Yellow">Bat</span>]] [[User talk:RatónBat|<span style="color:darkblue"><sup>TALK</sup></span> <span style="color:green"><sup>2</sup></span> <span style="color:darkblue"><sup>ME</sup></span>]][[User:RatónBat/What can i do?|</font></font><span style="color:green"><sup></sup></span><span style="color:darkblue"><sup>!</sup></span></font>]]
- takes up a huge amount of space, double the useful text you posted to my talk page. ➲ redvers throwing my arms around Paris 14:18, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
- It takes up a huge amount of space no matter how much you write. That's disruptive. Please change it. ➲ redvers throwing my arms around Paris 13:39, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for changing your signature - that's really helpful! Please do keep welcoming - {{welcome}} is a good one to use - but remember only to welcome people who have made an edit already, preferably a non-vandalizing edit. Have a glance at their contributions first. ➲ redvers throwing my arms around Paris 19:38, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Mentorship
editI write because your name is listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject User Rehab. I wonder if you might consider joining others in sharing the burden of a mentorship committee for me?
Perhaps you might consider taking a look at an old edit at Wikipedia:Mentorship#Unintended consequences? In the search for a mentor deemed acceptable by ArbCom, I cite this as a plausible context for discussing what I have in mind.
Please contact me by e-mail or on my talk page. --Tenmei (talk) 06:15, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
- Your edit here at WP:WikiProject User Rehab in June 2009 caused me to think of contacting you. The article at WP:Mentorship will give you more information about this specialized aspect of our Wikipedia project.
- My trivial edit at Asian Argentine here and adding the Argentina Maru here at Mitsui O.S.K. Lines are only tenuous connections; but these articles came to mind when I discovered your message on my talk page. Thank you for your time and consideration. As a gesture of appreciation, may I share a rhetorical question from the Analects of Confucius: "Is it not pleasant to learn with a constant perseverance and application?" -- Tenmei (talk)

FG episode list
editThis was already determined that a list doesnt have to be exactly the same as a similiar FL. There is nothing in any sort of rules that says so, and maybe the FL has outdated templates. In this case it prevents the season pages and main episode list to all have the same info and allows the info to only be edited in one place to avoid different info on different pages. Your work on the guide has been greatly appreciated so keep up the good work, however this template is acceptable for now, until possible new templates are implemented in the future. Grande13 (talk) 02:49, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
- its a somewhat newer idea that is being implemented and greatly reduces the discrepancy between various pages now that shows have season pages, please discuss before reverting againGrande13 (talk) 03:08, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Wikimedia Stories Project
editAloha!
My name is Victor and I work with the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that supports Wikipedia. We're chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community around the world, including those from readers, editors, and donors. Stories are absolutely essential for any non-profit to persuade new people to support the cause, and we know the vast network of people who use Wikipedia have so much to share.
I find stories that drive our annual fundraising efforts. It's important to convey the incredible diversity of people who've come to rely upon Wikipedia every day.
I'd really like the opportunity to interview you to tell your story, with the possibility of using it in our materials, on our community websites, or as part of this year’s fundraiser to encourage others to support Wikipedia.
I will be in Buenos Aires from the 10th - 11th of March 2012.
I'm hoping you will elaborate on your story with me. Please let me know if you're inclined to take part in the Wikipedia Stories Project!
Thank you,
Victor Grigas

WikiProject:REHAB update
editYou signed up for WikiProject User Rehab
Hi there, I'm RDN1F. It's come to my attention that you've signed up for WikiProject Rehab, but since that time the project has retired. I've decided to take it upon myself to rejuvenate the project - but I could do with your help. If you are still willing to help mentor (or even give me a hand in bringing this project back!) leave a message on my talk page
