Thanks for helping to defend Wikipedia from vandals. Just a tip, though: user warning templates go on the user's talk page, not their user page. So instead of adding the template to User:Myownman, add it to User talk:Myownman. Thanks! Guoguo12 --Talk-- 02:43, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
Thanks! I've spent all day reading on Wikipedia policies and was quite inspired so I decided to try to start contributing. Still trying to figure this all out though. Let me know if I'm using the talk page right (I'm not sure where I'm supposed to put the talkback tag on your talk page). Cogware ( talk) 02:49, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi Guoguo,
Sorry for the slow response; just wrapped up all of my finals so I should be free for some time now. I would like to take you up on your offer of adoption.
I have been a regular user of Wikipedia for some years now but never really wondered how the system works, and never contributed (except for the occasional grammatical fix). This past week I started reading the Wiki namespace and was struck both by admiration for the system and a desire to get involved. I'm not quite sure how I can best contribute to Wikipedia, so I figure I'd like to try helping out and see what appeals to me and what I'm good at. Having someone to point me in the right direction would be a great help.

Hi, I just wanted to check up on you and see if you were still around, since you haven't edited for a few weeks. Thanks. Guoguo12 --Talk-- 22:07, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
