Adoption Request

Hi. I'm looking for occassional guidance. I've gotten captivated the pages involving T-carrier, the T1 Transmission System, DS-1, etc., all of which are part of the telecommunications infrastructure in this country, and the inaccuracies, inconsistancies, and disorganization. I'd like to help. Would appreciate having someone to bounce ad hoc questions off of. I'n not looking for a teacher, necessarily, I recognize its my responsibility to read the manual before energizing. But it would be nice to have a life line. Also, if you have a recommendation on a "Writting for Wikipedia" book I'll grab it next time I hit Barnes & Noble. (I know there a lot of material on line, but I'm 65; I like books). Thanks, tTballister (talk) 18:22, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello, Just to cut the message short and to be more accurate: If you are looking for a full adoption (going through the policies and processes) I would be more than happy to take you on. If however you looking for just someone you can ask questions to, Then you may ask them as I try to be as helpful as possible. John F. Lewis (talk) 18:25, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, will appreciate that. Tballister (talk) 20:36, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Ok, Question 1. What is the best way to change the names of existing articles? Relative to re-organizing the pages of the T1/DS-1 topic(s) I'd like to:

- Rename the current article "T-carrier" to "T1 Transmission System", becausse almost all content there presently is specific to the T1 member of the T-carrier group,
- Then create a new "T-carrier" page that cites the full heirarcy of systems that were defined, preserving the small section on this in the current T-carrier page.
- Rename the current page "Digital multiplex hierarchy" to "Digital Signal Hierarchy", because its content discusses the formally named "Digital Signal Hierarchy". 

The resulting set of article names is:

• "T-carrier" - a group of systems that carry information on copper. (article exists but convolutes multiple topics)
• "T1 Trasmission System" - just one of the T-carrier systems that were designed and deployed. (Article doesn't exist)
• "Digital Signal Hierarchy" - A group of signal formats for the information sent on the copper, and were referred to as levels. (Content exists under "Digial Multiplex Heirarchy")
• "DS-1" - jut one of the Digital Signal Levels. (Article exists, but doesn't reference the hierarchy it belongs to).
