Understood. Sometimes it can be hard getting on our feet. How about you try to get adopted?

Hi Sneazy! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. |

I see you have added a userbox indicating that you request adoption through our adopt-a-user program. It is helpful to potential adopters to know a little bit more about your goals through adoption. Are you looking for a course with lessons and tests that will ensure thorough comprehension of all covered topics, simply someone to whom you can ask questions, or somewhere in between? What are your interests in editing Wikipedia? Do you aspire to be an administrator, a rollbacker, a reviewer or something of the like some day? Do you want to create articles, clean them up, or simply pontificate on their contents? All of these questions are helpful for a potential adopter (and in the long run for you so you ensure you get a good match). If you want to answer them here, I might be able to recommend someone who fits them. Respectfully, Go Phightins ! 18:33, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
![]() Hello, Sneazy, Thank you for joining my adoption program. If you visit the adoption centre you can view the lessons you will be tested/graded on. If you want you may also ask one of the successful or current adoptees what it is like. You will be graded in percentages/raw data and you can find this information at the now reformed grading page. - Your adoption pages should be available here. If this is a red link, Please contact me on my talk page as this may be a set up issue or simply a templating/magic wording issue. John F. Lewis ( talk) 16:44, 8 February 2013 (UTC) |
This is in clear violation of WP:TALKO and given my direct objections which you knowingly deleted amounts to vandalism. If the edit is repeated by you either as a signed account or again as an IP I will report you and request you be blocked from editing. μηδείς ( talk) 18:16, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
This is your only warning; if you
vandalize Wikipedia again, you may be
blocked from editing without further notice.
Congratulations on being adopted by
User:John F. Lewis! Your userpage, however, still says that you are looking for adoption. Now that you've been adopted, it's common courtesy to replace {{Adopt me}}
with {{Adopted|John F. Lewis}}
so that people know that you have been adopted and who you have been adopted by. Thank you in advance for your compliance. ö

Teahouse First Birthday Badge |
Awarded to everyone who participated in the
Wikipedia Teahouse during its first year! To celebrate the many hosts and guests we've met and the nearly 2000 questions asked and answered during this excellent first year, we're giving out this tasty cupcake badge. |
Hello Sneazy, I have seen you have been active recently but have not made any progression in your adoption. I am currently wondering whether you still have any interest in continuing it. John F. Lewis ( talk) 19:16, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Marriage vows, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Obey ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I'm sorry if this is frustrating, but the Talk page for the RD is not the setting for such a discussion - the guidance for that page is quite clear (as other editors indicated). Our page on WP:Dispute resolution provides options. -- Scray ( talk) 23:07, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

I copied the following from a longer comment you made on Medeis's talk page:
I consider Jack of Oz a Wikipedia friend and am wondering why you might have thought he would have been dead by now? This is just a matter of curiosity, no more than that. Bielle ( talk) 01:30, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
Just fixed your infobox deletion at SunnyD. You can turn off the VisualEditor in your preferences at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing, it's the tickbox at the bottom. -- McGeddon ( talk) 21:03, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

Considering your "promise" in the User_talk:Sneazy#vandalism section above, this edit, which violates WP:TPO, seems ill-considered. -- Scray ( talk) 02:58, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
In your question about suicide, I asked "How would committing suicide be illegal? Who would they put in jail? Or fine?". To which, you replied "...people who commit suicide are put in rehabilitation centers..." What I think you meant is that people who attempt suicide are put into rehabilitation centers. Those who actually do commit suicide are dead. Dismas| (talk) 08:06, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
