- And yep, I'm willing to put you through the adoption school. you may need to give me a day or so to get going though. WormTT · (talk) 14:38, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
I'm willing to wait -- I've exams right now, I'll be done by the first week of November, is that fine? And where am I supposed to post questions, if any? On my talk page or yours? B 14:46, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
- Hi B! A couple of things. Firstly, can you go to your preferences and make sure that your signature is a link to your user page or talk page - it's a requirement of WP:SIG, which allows people to easily contact you. Secondly - I've created your adoption page! Whenever you are ready, feel free to come over and have a look - have a read through, ask me questions there (or on my talk page or even here - though I'm less likely to see them here). Whenever you're ready, we can start running you through the course. WormTT · (talk) 12:02, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
