Adoption

I would like to be adopted…Are you interested?Today's Xtra (talk) 15:09, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi, Today's Xtra. I will adopt you... Could you hold on for a minimum of one day while I sort everything out? Thanks, Rcsprinter (orate) @ 15:55, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
My system for adoption works like this: I post a series of lessons for you to read and complete a short test on, teaching many aspects of how to edit (and survive) on Wikipedia. At the end you 'graduate' and can be let go. At any time you can ask me for advice or help with anything that you are doing or that happens here on my talk page. Is this OK? Well, I've set the adoption page up with your first lesson at User:Rcsprinter123/Adopt/Today's Xtra. It's waiting for you... Rcsprinter (articulate) @ 16:52, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I regret to inform you that I will be out of town for a few days, on work, so if you could wait until i get back, that would be great! Sorry for the inconvenience Today's Xtra (talk) 19:26, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

No, it's completely fine. Be as long as you need. Rcsprinter (banter) @ 00:08, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

Important Notice: Your 2013 Arbitration Committee Election vote

Greetings. Because you have already cast a vote for the 2013 Arbitration Committee Elections, I regret to inform you that due to a misconfiguration of the SecurePoll we've been forced to strike all votes and reset voting. This notice is to inform you that you will need to vote again if you want to be counted in the poll. The new poll is located at this link. You do not have to perform any additional actions other than voting again. If you have any questions, please direct them at the election commissioners. --For the Election Commissioners, v/r, TParis

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Blue whale penis

Please revert your non-admin closure. I have valid concerns with the article and a bunch of people with jocular intent of saving the article should not derail an actual discussion on its merits for inclusion.—Ryulong (琉竜) 03:58, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
