I am too busy at the moment-sorry! You may be better asking someone to help you who is on the current adoptors list. Sorry again!

A fresh logo is waiting for you at
the logo shop. Yum! Fresh logo! BTW, do you still want the sig, as I see that you've now got a green one (shamelessly stolen from Nerdyscience dude lol)? If you do, you mught be better off asking someone else like
Wyatt915. Thanks, RockdrumBa-dumCrash(Review me) 18:48, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
Additionally, I see many elements in your userpage (like your sig) that you've copied from other editors. See
Copying within Wikipedia for info on properly attributing this content. —

I hate to be a party pooper Mono but you're not so good when it comes to copying other stuff too. For instance the navigation banner and your userpage. RockdrumBa-dumCrash(Review me) 12:40, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
Scuse me, but I've fixed that. —

The project has been going for many months now, and it's time to get it going again. Come on; encourage people to join, start editing articles again, please do what you can.
The project is still being built up, and the infrastructure is still being worked on. But despite this, we are now ready to work on
Geocaching-related and other, related articles .
Some project tips
Use the {{WP GEOCACHING INVITE}} template to invite users. It has the
chain letter effect and is very powerful for recruiting members. Pass it on.
A few moments checking other editors contributions is always appreciated.
Don't be shy on using the talk pages. It's where a lot of stuff gets decided. A good point being made can change the content of an encyclopedia depended on by many people.
From the Editor
Welcome to the second issue of The Geocaching WikiProject's newsletter! We hope that this newsletter will help members to find new things to do within the project that they may wish to participate in.
Don't be afraid to suggest ideas through the
main newsletter page, or even contribute yourself. It's people's ideas and assistance that make things like this possible. Thanks for being a member of the project and please make sure it continues by being active.
Edit or
discuss these tasks. You may also add a subject if it doesn't appear already.
As the project is currently quite small, our more experienced editors are working on the
project infrastructure and
classifying articles. Your assistance is welcome. If you would prefer to just edit - and why wouldn't you? - we have a large selection of tasks below.
WikiProject Children's and Young Adult literature Newsletter
Newsletter September 2010
Project news
Welcome to the first edition of the WikiProject Children's literature newsletter! If you are interested in contributing or want more information, you can find us in the
Outreach department.
The project now has
a list of its most popular pages. The mosts visited page in our project's scope in July was
List of Twilight characters which was visited 538088 times from July 1st to July 31st; which means it was visited a whopping 17357 a day.
Due to the combined efforts of several editors, the backlog of nearly 4000
unassessed articles has been eradicated in less than six months. Thanks to everyone who took part!
Don't forget that the current Children's literature collaboration article is
Curious George (book). Be sure to get involved and together we can make the article a better quality.

I thought you might be interested in this. Basically, this would give you access to the PediaPress renderer used to print books and should allow you to review book as they would be printed (minus covers). If you find errors and problems, please report them at Help:Books/Feedback.

Hello, I have completed a general cleanup of the adopter information page for the adopt-a-user project, located
here. During my cleanup, I have removed several inactive and retired users. In order to provide interested adoptees with an easy location to find adopters, it is essential that the page be up-to-date with the latest information possible. Thus:
If you are no longer interested in being an adopter, please remove yourself from the list.
If you are still interested, please check the list to see if any information needs to be updated or added - especially your availability. Thank you.

There's only a few Unreferenced BLPs (Biographies of living people) left. Why not head over to the page and help by adding sources to the articles? It's an important job, that requires assistance.
From the Editor
Hello and welcome to this, the second edition of the newsletter. This month, I need to ask a favour of you. You may have seen that this month I had to write the newsletter by my self. I really need your help with writing and giving suggestions. If you have a suggestion for a future edition, please list it at
the tips desk. You may also notice the links underneath this piece. Please use them to share this newsletter on your favourite social networks. Until next time, happy editing!
