Adoption
Of course I want to adopt you. I promise that I will provide the most easy, friendly, and convenient adoption service to you through my adoption school. You are now a student. Your official adoption page is located at User:Bmusician/Adoption/TheSpecialUser.
In your first assignment (which I have already assigned to you) you will learn about the five pillars. Read the lesson carefully. After you're done reading the lesson, you will take a test about the lesson. You must answer all of the questions in the test adequately in order to move on to the next assignment.
After you've completed all required assignments, you will then take a final examination. If you pass the examination, you are permitted to either continue to study at the adoption school, or "graduate" from the school. (We'll talk about that when that time actually comes.) If you fail, however, you must stay at the adoption school until you finally pass an exam. Please note that you may leave the school at any time without graduating, but that means that you won't be awarded the "special barnstar" I give to my graduate students.
That's it; again I welcome you to my adoption school! Please me a message on my talk page if you have any questions regarding the school. →Bmusician 10:44, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for welcoming and accepting. Your course is interesting and I learned a lot. TheSpecialUser (talk) 16:56, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
RE: My first assignment.
As for the "watchlist", I'm pretty sure Help:Watching pages will help you with that. Wikipedia:User pages should help you with userpages. :) And you'll know about anti-vandalism as we go on through the course.
Are you ready to take the short test on the first assignment? →Bmusician 06:35, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
Yes! I m pretty excited for it. TheSpecialUser (talk) 07:01, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

P.S. No, the third question was not off topic - saying that a user awfully competent with templates is a sockpuppet is assuming bad faith and is bad wikiquette. It is perfectly on topic.
