This page allows users seeking adoption to browse through the adopters currently available. If you find one or more adopters you are interested in, it's up to you to approach them via their talk page. This list contains a mix of editors who are currently offering adoption, as well as those not available right now (perhaps because they are already adopting others). It is recommended that Adopters regularly update their own listing for the benefit of potential adoptees, or remove themselves if they're no longer interested in helping out in this way. For a more extensive list of adopters available see here (but be aware it may contain editors who are no longer active, so always check out their 'User Contributions' to assess current activity.) All of those currently accepting adoptees on the list below will adopt users. Those displaying are also willing to provide mentorship to users involved in dispute resolution, users who have been blocked (as part of a conditional unblock) and users who are subject to topic bans or other sanctions.

I'm a rollbacker and a pending changes reviewer here, and I speak Chinese as a second language. I focus on reviewing pending changes, but I have also created one mainspace article (probably increasing soon). You can contact me through my talk page, e-mail or Discord. I'll attempt to help as best I can with any problem but I'm best with stuff related to fixing/reverting vandalism. Currently accepting adoptees Current Adoptees: McDoobAU93 (talk) Major theme-park and Disney fan, so you'll find me in articles related to theme parks, roller coasters, and such. Also dabble in video game articles. Will work in just about any article if I find some noteworthy information to add that isn't already there ... provided it's cited, of course. On the US east coast, I log in pretty frequently, many times a day. I try and respond to questions and comments as soon as I see them, so you won't have to wait long till you hear from me.

I mostly edit football-related articles, as well as copyediting and de-orphaning articles, and sometimes patrolling Recent Changes as well. I'm often active on weekdays.

Currently accepting adoptees Current Adoptees: Suryabeej (talk · contribs) Rosguill (talk) I'm an administrator, and have particularly focused on new page reviewing and thus know the ins and outs of notability and other article creation guidelines, as well as deletion processes, copy editing, judging source reliability, and navigating talk pages and Wikipedia-space boards. I also help close RfC discussions, and volunteer as a moderator at dispute resolution. I am proficient in many languages, including Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Yiddish and Russian (see my user page for a full list of proficiencies), and am familiar with reliable news sources for many regions. If you specifically want to learn to be a new page reviewer, I can take you on as a new page patrol student. My interests are broad, but not limitless. Hop on over to my talk page and we can figure out if I can help you. signed, Rosguill talk 06:15, 27 September 2019 (UTC) Currently accepting adoptees Current Adoptees: Nick Moyes (talk) Hello, I'm a UK-based editor with a background in natural sciences and museums. I've spent my working life sharing knowledge and helping people; Wikipedia is no different. I’m mainly looking to adopt an editor who has genuine and demonstrable interests in science, history, geography or similar academic subjects, or in biographies of women, and who has already demonstrated a clear commitment to sticking around and contributing across a range of topics. (This means I'll be assessing your Userpage and past contributions, and won't be adopting brand new editors who've been here just a few days or only made a handful of edits - we can help you far quicker at the Teahouse, than here). We really don't have enough female editors here, so I'd be very happy to assist any committed female editor across almost any subject area, except popular culture. I can assist you with the basics of editing, and help you understand how we operate and interact, so you can contribute effectively in building this amazing encyclopaedia. I also help out behind the scenes here at the Teahouse, Recent Changes, Articles for Deletion and as an WP:Administrator. I’ve been on Wikipedia over 10 years and am around most days. My approach would not be a structured, topic-by-topic one, but would offer general support and feedback, with recommendations for help pages, guidance and policies you may need to read up on. Talk to me: here Offered since: January 2018 Previous adoptees: (Clovermoss (talk · contribs); BrucePL (talk · contribs)) Currently accepting adoptees Current Adoptees: Jezzy-lam (talk · contribs) Titodutta (talk) I currently do lots of clean up, editing, article creations, formatting correction, etc work.
