Adoption

I'm really sorry but I just don't have the time, I'm always behind on my editing. But look at Wikipedia:Adopt-a-user and hopefully you'll find someone. Good luck! Doug Weller talk 19:04, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

Example of how not to edit

Howdy hello! I see you recently left this edit on my talk page, comparing experienced editors to the Gestapo. That's not cool bro. Experienced editors do act as gatekeepers because they are familiar with policy and procedure, as well as what the intention of Wikipedia is. But they're no Gestapo. For starters, the Gestapo are one of the most evil organizations in history, and their name should not be dropped lightly. And secondly, if you ever feel bludgeoned by an experienced user, please talk to them. Remember, we are all volunteers, and everyone makes mistakes. Experienced users should always be willing to discuss why they did something, and explain it to you. Have you had much interaction with experienced editors that left a bad taste? If so we can try to see what went wrong. Captain Eek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 03:00, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

One of WP:s basic general rules regarding talkpages: "The basic rule—with exceptions outlined below—is to not edit or delete others' posts without their permission." Your own talkpage is a different matter, but there are "rules" there too, see the link. Happy editing! Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 19:03, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
