Adopt-a-user Home Talk || Adoptee's Area Resources || Adopter's Area Resources List of adopters || Teahouse || Live Help Chat (IRC)

This page allows users seeking adoption to browse through the adopters currently available, allowing for a more personalized service. If you find one or more adopters you are interested in, please contact them on their talk page. For easy accessibility and reference, this list has been sorted first for availability then alphanumeric order; it is recommended that adopters regularly update their own listing for the benefit of potential adoptees. For a more extensive list of adopters available see here (but be aware that it also lists numerous editors who are no longer active, so always check out their 'User Contributions' to assess current activity.)

All of the users on the list below will adopt users. Those displaying are also willing to provide mentorship to users involved in dispute resolution, users who have been blocked (as part of a conditional unblock) and users who are subject to topic bans or other sanctions.

I enjoy writing and editing articles about art, artists, history and social issues. I have written and edited a number of articles about the United States, United Kingdom, India and other paces. I like making and editing articles so that they are quality, cited articles - and like to nominate pages for the Did you know? section of the main page. There are a lot of tools that I've learned about to make some things simpler and I enjoy working with new people.

I have written a number of new articles which have featured in the "Did you know?" section of the front page. I am always pleased to help other editors when I can or point them to someone with more specialised knowledge. Yes I work in British English for the most part.

I am something of a WikiGnome, and spend much of my time here new pages patrolling, nominating pages for speedy deletion, and using STiki. I am also active at WP:RFPP, WP:UAA, and other such areas. I still spend a lot of time w/content work, though, and have created >130 articles. The weekends are the ideal time for me, but most days after 2 PM Central Time would be the ideal time to contact me.

Nick Moyes (talk)

Hello, I’m a UK-based editor with a background in natural sciences and museums. I’ve spent my working life sharing knowledge and helping people; Wikipedia is no different. I’m mainly looking to adopt an editor who has genuine interests in science, history or similar serious subjects, or in biographies of women. We really don’t have enough female editors here, so I’d be very happy to assist any new female editor across any subject area.
I can assist you with the basics of editing, and help you understand how we operate and interact, so you can contribute effectively in building this amazing encyclopaedia. I also help out behind the scenes here at the Teahouse, New Page Patrol, Recent Changes, Articles for Deletion and other stuff like Spell-checking and Women in Red. I’ve been active for over 8 years and am around most days. I’ve not adopted before – so this could be an interesting learning experience for us both! Talk to me: here
Offered since: January 2018

I have been around for about two years and have experience in a variety of areas including the Teahouse, Articles for Deletion, and vandalism reversion as well as numerous other Wiki-Projects, mostly related to sports, but in other areas as well. I graduated an adoption course a while back and it was beneficial to me, so I thought I'd give back and adopt someone (or many people) myself. I've completed my my adoption school; a few past adoptees help me out with administrative work allowing me to take on additional adoptees. If you'd like to be adopted, you can either email me or contact me at my talk page. Thus far, I've had two adoptees graduate, about five disappear, two quit, and three in progress. I am currently taking one new adoptee...I have experience with users coming off blocks, brand new users, and users who have been around for a while but just want to further their skills.--Go Phightins!

The Herald (talk)

Hi, I'm The Herald, an editor from India. I am willing to help any new users who need adoption. I am good at astronomy topics and also being an RCP, can detect vandalism easily. For more info, contact me at my user talk page. I use Twinkle and other such automated tools extensively and review AfC submissions.

I have been a contributor on Wikipedia since 2006 and spend the majority of my time combating vandalism, helping out new users, working through dispute resolution and conflict of interests. My approach is to understand where you are coming from and where you want to go with your wiki-authorship/experience. I will ask a lot of open ended questions, and help direct you to the best resources available. I have been around a long time, but still don't know everything. I will periodically review your edits (if that is what you're looking for) to help direct you towards your goals.

Hello, I've been editing Wikipedia since 2010 and I am involved in a wide variety of areas. I spend my time reverting vandalism, patrolling newpages, and reviewing articles by new users at Articles for Creation. I also work at improving articles related to whatever wikiprojects I'm interested in at the moment. If you would like adoption you can ask on my talk page.
