A few questions for you to begin this adoption:
1) Would you prefer to be called Jtamad, Juan, or something else?
- Either is fine. Juan I guess. I sign with this juanTamad 03:02, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
2) What is your goal in contributing to Wikipedia?
- I'm a retired medical journal editor, med writer/editor (with educational background in medically related fields), so I'm interested in contributing to medical and related science articles mostly, but will help where help is needed. I've done some minor changes and additions over the last few years, but now I can spend more time on it. Also, I'm American and speak native English.juanTamad 07:30, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
3) What time zone do you live in?
- I'm in Thailand, Indochina Time Zone. Retired American living in Thailand, near Bangkok, on the coast.
4) What do you expect to get out of this mentorship?
- Get familiar with the basics for one thing, like how to respond to communication like this. I need to learn to correctly cite sources and want to learn more about wikipedia policies on that. I think I'd eventually to be part of the editors mentioned in the NYT article a week ago (http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/27/business/media/wikipedia-is-emerging-as-trusted-internet-source-for-information-on-ebola-.html?src=xps)
5) What would you like a picture of on this page to represent you? It can be a picture of anything, and it doesn't have to be one that you've uploaded yourself. For an example, see User:Missionedit/Adoption/Molly's Mind or User:Missionedit/Adoption/Hisashiyarouin.

- I'll think about it and look around. Should I remove the "looking for adoption badge on my home page? What do I replace it with?
