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 For a more extensive list of adopters available see here (but be aware it may contain editors who are no longer active, so always check out their 'User Contributions' to assess current activity.)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 the users on the list below will adopt users. Those displaying

![]() ![]() ![]() Ahoy! Its yer cap'n speaking. I seek dedicated and inquisitive users to join me crew. I will take on folks of all experience levels, but I do want some evidence that you will stick around and complete your training. If you are excited to learn and edit Wikipedia, I am excited to guide you from deckhand to a captainship of your own aboard the SS Wikipedia! I am a reviewer at Articles for Creation and am well suited to help folks create new articles. My top editing areas are botany, biology, and history. Want to take an article in those areas to Good Article status? I can help. I am also involved in closing and moderating disputes, and can guide folks in areas of civility. If you would like to get involved in more "backend" items, such as vandal fighting, page review, or WikiGnoming, I can assist there as well. If you're interested, leave a note on my talk page asking for adoption, and explaining what you'd like to get out of the process. Hope to see ya aboard the ship!

I have a wide range of interests including the history and geography of south east England, anything on the front page that needs fixing, vandal fighting and issuing warnings for vandalism. I have written a number of new articles which have featured in the "Did you know?" section of the front page. I am always pleased to help other editors when I can or point them to someone with more specialised knowledge. Yes I work in British English for the most part.

![]() ![]() Current Adoptees: ![]() I have been around for about two years and have experience in a variety of areas including the Teahouse, Articles for Deletion, and vandalism reversion as well as numerous other Wiki-Projects, mostly related to sports, but in other areas as well. I graduated an adoption course a while back and it was beneficial to me, so I thought I'd give back and adopt someone (or many people) myself. I've completed my my adoption school; a few past adoptees help me out with administrative work allowing me to take on additional adoptees. If you'd like to be adopted, you can either email me or contact me at my talk page. Thus far, I've had two adoptees graduate, about five disappear, two quit, and three in progress. I am currently taking one new adoptee...I have experience with users coming off blocks, brand new users, and users who have been around for a while but just want to further their skills.--Go Phightins!

Hello all! My name is Jack Reynolds and I've been on Wikipedia since November, 2020. Yes, you might think that I'm new and an "ameture" (rude), but I love to help other people! I'm a quick learner and could probably help you with many things such as spotting grammar errors and adding references (if you haven't already done those things.) I love to listen to music (Taylor Swift, Jason Derulo, and Katy Perry) and read books (view here.) I currently have a dog, her name is Royal Oak, and wishing to get another one so it can keep me company while I'm at home. Last thing you should probably know about me is that I'll be very kind you, and I'm willing to help you with any projects that you need assistance on. With that being said, I can sometimes get very determined and will fight you on to get things done my way. So, yeah! There's a little bit of information about me! To get a further information about me and where I stand of things, please visit my user page for more info! I hope this help you with your choice of adopter(s)! FYI, Taylor Swift is my spirit person.

![]() ![]() Current Adoptees: ![]() Hi! I'm MarioJump83. I am active on Wikipedia since 2020 and I really like to help out newcomers actually! But, if you want to get more involvement from me, I'll be available as an adopter and a mentor! Once you become my adoptee, I'll help you by taking a look at your contributions and your talk page frequently to give you help you need, as long as I have some ability to do so! You can talk to me via my own user talk page, e-mail, or Discord. I'm not the person who is in the photo, but in reality I am a honest and a nice person! By the way, if you are adopted, you don't need to use a template - you can just tell that you are my adoptee once you are on this list.

Although I'm experienced in most areas of Wikipedia, my primary interest has always been working with new users. Wikipedia is a place of limitless potential, but it can be a bit confusing at first! I hope I can make things easier. If I can help with anything at all, feel free to contact me!

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.

![]() ![]() Current Adoptees: ![]() I have been active on Wikipedia since 2017, mostly focusing on keeping citations tidy in basically every subject field and miscellaneous other forms of article cleanup, but I've dabbled into article creation and expansion. I also occasionally hop over to Wikipedia's sister projects such as Wiktionary and Wikispecies to do some work there. My work isn't anything special, but I'm more than willing to help at my talk page if you want general advice. Likewise, if you feel like being adopted, I can help with article creation, expansion, and overall cleanup whenever I'm available.

![]() ![]() Current Adoptees: ![]() Hi, I edit under the name Curb Safe Charmer, which is an anagram. I am British. I have been editing for a few years now, and spend most of my time reviewing new articles that have been submitted by new users for consideration for inclusion in Wikipedia. I tend to work on articles about companies and people, as those are the main categories that new users write about. I can probably help you with the concept of notability which is something that a lot of new users struggle with.
