Hello again and welcome to the adoption program!

Please take some time to think about what you would like out of this program and what you can devote to it. After you have thought about this please message me on my talk page about which areas you would like to focus on. As well, if you are completely new or you are not sure, you can let me know that and I can give you a general overview. You will get as much as you put in with this program. If you would like me to be someone that you can ask questions to every once and a while, then thats who i'll be. Yet, if you wish to be in constant contact with me and have me go over your work with you each day or so, then thats who i will be. This is your choice, just please let me know :P

Also if you could please remove the adoptee userbox from your userpage so that others know you have been adopted. If you like you can replace it with this user box:

This user has been adopted by Matthew Yeager.

The automated message to tell you someone has messaged you is a feature of Wikipedia and happens automatically whenever someone (besides yourself) edits your talk page. if you have any questions feel free to ask! Thank you for your time, Matthew Yeager 19:10, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Just wanted to let you know a brought in an awesome adopter to help you out as well!!! this way you have twice as many people to always help you out. To make it easy for you, only post questions on his talk page and i'll check that. the other adopter is Evilclown93. He will be able to answer most any question, and i'll be here to help look over your edits and review any work you would like us to look at. i figure the more people you have checking your work out the faster you can learn and grow! if you have any questions just let Evilclown93 know and he'll be more then happy to get back to you.

Hi! I've been brought in under my own will to learn (which probably is just to get used) to the adoption program. I will basically be your adopter, but I will report in a way (or bug basically) Matthew if I need a gentle nudge with this. Hope to see you soon! 21:02, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes. You can create a user subpage (which is the best method). Here is what you type in to create a new subpage about Wikipedia, for example:

[[/Wikipedia]]
What it will look like actually: /Wikipedia

What this represents is that you can edit a user subpage located at User talk:Jsarmi/Wikipedia, part of your userspace. You can do this on your talkpage, or better on your userpage, which will link to User:Jsarmi/Wikipedia. I hope I hape helped you and you understand; if you don't understand, drop me a line.

I take your point and hope I've addressed your issues: if not, it would make sense to keep the discussion on the article's talk page, to keep other editors aware of the discussion. Thanks, Verisimilus T 17:25, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Not at all! There's not really a "right" or "wrong" place for anything - but it's generally a good idea to keep a record of article-based discussion on the article's page too. It was useful to have a notice on the user page too though, or I may not have noticed the edit! Verisimilus T 18:25, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

P.S. In contradiction to the above point, new comments are usually added to the bottom of the talk page; I've moved your comment on Pun.Eq.. Verisimilus T 18:27, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Great article. Really needs references though. Toddstreat1 20:12, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Done, I think. :-) Jsarmi 15:34, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi, just wanted to say thank you for the great article as well - it has grown since it is a neat overview of the famous models. You just saved me around eights hours of working time. Thank you! 89.0.46.31 (talk) 08:10, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

You should open a Wiktionary account if you expect to be taken seriously there. It's a tighter group than WP, BTW, with some probably justified concern with low-quality contributions. Things are a little more technical, less documented, and different from WP in unexpected ways, esp. in copyright. Copying the wording of a dictionary entry is strictly a no-no in Wiktionary, whereas it is not necessarily so in WP. Quote attribution practice is apparently not as precise in Wiktionary as in the best-referenced WP articles. DCDuring 15:55, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Good point :-) Thanks! I think my question was seriously presented and seriously taken by a couple of people, despite my lack of an account. For newbies, the need to have two accounts is a bit strange but given your differentiation between WP and Wiktionary, I can see how the two might be perceived by "insiders" as being very different. Allways a pleasure to learn more about all things Wiki. Jsarmi 20:42, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
