Sorry, I just need to know why I do not have a edit toolbar that gives me a way to redirect, link, external and internal, images, ect. Its over the text box if you still don't know what I mean. Also Its always telling me I'm adding external links like right now... Oh, how can I fix it? Thanks! Robot13 (talk) 01:37, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Proof I'm not messing with you...

Your edit includes new external links. These may be much welcomed links to references.

Im not using External Links! Robot13 (talk) 01:37, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

I I'm looking for adoption. I am basically a noob. I need someone to guid me through wikipedia and answer my questions. (like the one above) Please, I only made one contribute, and It was deleted. I would like to know what people and administrators want. I'm a geek, yes. I won't be all defensive. but hey, I'm proud of it!

look on my user page for more on me. Thanks. Robot13 (talk) 01:45, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

{{help}}

OK, geek. Click this or this, and say hi. If neither work on your PC, reply below.  Chzz  ►  03:12, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

sorry, i've got some major parental control problems... I can't acess those sites! Robot13 (talk) 03:22, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

It therefore very difficult for us to help you. You really need a means of connecting to IRC somehow.  Chzz  ►  03:47, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Solved! Robot13 (talk) 17:29, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Usually adoption is accepted by changing the adoptoffer template to adopted. Also a note at the adopters page is usually appreciated. I'm assuming since you asked the question that you want me to adopt you, yes? I have a fairly strict adoption program in which, in order to graduate, you will eventually have to create an article and get it promoted to at least B-class. This program will start with the very basics, more as a way for me to gauge your level of "wiki-literacy", than pose any real challenge. The tasks will be given at User:Drew R. Smith/Adoption/Programmer13. You should probably watchlist this so you know when I have updated it with the next challenge.

As your adopter, I will be watching your contributions closely. If you get in a tight spot, I will help you if you are right. If you are wrong, I will merely deflect some of the criticism (a little criticism is always a good thing), and point out your errors. I will never be a shield, and you must never attempt to use me as a sheild.

If this is what you want, reply either here, or at my talkpage, and I will set up your first task at the above mentioned page.Drew Smith What I've done 13:06, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Acceptable? Well I'm glad you approve! Lol. Ok, your first task is up. This one is simple, but they will get harder, so you need to remember, there is no time limit. Take your time if I give you a task that is particularly trying.Drew Smith What I've done 13:20, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Don't worry about that revert, someone was vandal hunting and thought you were vandalising my page. Thats the problem with some vandal hunters, they don't actually read stuff before they revert.Drew Smith What I've done 13:28, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Ok, to make a new heading use the == Heading == <br /> (thats a pagebreak) format. Subheadings are === Subheading === <br />. Due to the wikitags sometimes not taking properly you may need to add pagebreaks before the subheadings as well.Drew Smith What I've done 13:54, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

I am logging off for the night. I will be on every day.Drew Smith What I've done 14:20, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

For us its 10:24! Where do you live? Programmer13 (talk) 14:22, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, its 4:23 am. I live in Ewa Beach Hawaii. I should be up around noonish local time, so something should be posted by then.Drew Smith What I've done 14:29, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi!Stormcloud22 (talk) 18:28, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

It's alright, I know what you meant! It's weird though, every time I comment or do anything on the internet, people always assume I'm a guy. But I understand the sentiment behind your comment. Thanks for commenting, by the way, not many people do other than Drew. So what do you like to do here on wikipedia?Stormcloud22 (talk) 21:41, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Who's your brother?Stormcloud22 (talk) 21:45, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a social networking site. I am technically obligated to point this out to you as you are my adoptee. That being said, this merely means don't get caught by someone who actually cares. I enjoy making friends with other wikipedians as you can see from my league of friends userbox. I think this is defenitly the best application of WP:IAR. You defenitly want to read this link, it's pretty good.Drew Smith What I've done 22:46, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

If you do find one on ictalurus catus please tell me the file name. Monkeyfox (talk) 21:53, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Isn't that a poinsettia? It has to be at least a distant cousin. I used to work in the garden dept. at home depot, and if someone had asked about that I would have said poinsettia.Drew Smith What I've done 23:34, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Lemme guess...13? That's too easy, maybe not.Stormcloud22 (talk) 00:34, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Don't worry, my parents are the same way. They don't even know I go on Wikipedia. They're really paranoid about the internet in general.Stormcloud22 (talk) 00:49, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Apologies, my internet fizzeled and died before I could post your next task. As for the article, no you don't need to write another.Drew Smith What I've done 01:03, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

First on your article then on mine. Monkeyfox (talk) 20:36, 21 May 2009 (UTC) Oops I didn't read the not edit the article... also I had to go some place! Monkeyfox (talk) 20:46, 21 May 2009 (UTC) At 5:40 we switch to my article. Monkeyfox (talk) 21:22, 21 May 2009 (UTC) I am downloading something.

Lol, the example was specific to monkey's article. Try wikiproject plants to see what their criteria are.Drew Smith What I've done
