== Help with article? ==
 
 
Hi,
 
You were the reviewer on AfC for [[Adam Pritzker]] and I wonder if you might like to review a closely related article, [[Draft: Assembled Brands]]. I have a [[WP: COI]], so must reach out for an independent review of my submissions, although I'm an experienced Wikipedia editor and try my best to abide by the five pillars.
 
Thanks for considering this!

== Adopt-a-user - your availability ==
 
Hello. Could I ask you to check and, if necessary, update your availability details at [[Wikipedia:Adopt-a-user/Adoptee's Area/Adopters]], please?
 
I've been updating that page, plus the list of over 100 people seeking adoption (which I've now stripped down to around [[:Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user|20 active editors genuinely seeking help]].
 
I've been working to identify those Adopters who are currently available, and those who haven't been active on Wikipedia for a while. But I don't think the bot has been updating correctly, so a manual check from you would be really helpful. I've also made some suggestions and a few edits to make life easier for newcomers. I've put some of my observations down in answer to a [[Wikipedia_talk:Adopt-a-user#Inactives|recent post]] about inactivity of some Adopt-a-User Project contributors. Regards from the UK, [[User:Nick Moyes|Nick Moyes]] ([[User talk:Nick Moyes|talk]]) 00:43, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

== Adopt-a-user enquiry ==
 
Hi! I saw you listed on the adopt-a-user page, and I'd really like to learn the basics.
I'm slowly getting to grips with how Wikipedia works, but I'd like to learn more and contribute usefully.
 
Thanks,
 
Andy

== New Page Reviewer Flag ==
 
Hi, ProgrammingGeek. <br>
I've noticed that you are an AfC reviewer but don't yet have the [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Reviewers|New Page Reviewer]] flag. Would you please consider heading over to [[WP:PERM/NPR|PERM]] and requesting it? <small>(check the flag requirements [[Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol/Reviewers#New_Page_Reviewer|HERE]])</small><br />
As part of a larger plan to increase cooperation between New Page Patrol and Articles for creation, we are trying to get as many of the active AfC reviewers as possible under the NPR user flag ([[Wikipedia_talk:The_future_of_NPP_and_AfC#Qualification_Alignment|per this discussion]]). Unlike the AfC request list, the NPR flag carries '''no obligation''' to review new articles, so I'm not asking you to help out at New Page Patrol if you don't want to, just to request the flag. <br>
Of course, if it is something you would be interested in, you can have a look at [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol|the NPP tutorial]]. Please mention that you are an active AfC reviewer in your application. <br>
Cheers and thanks for helping out at AfC, — '''''<small>[[User:Insertcleverphrasehere|Insertcleverphrasehere]] <sup>([[User talk:Insertcleverphrasehere|or here]])</sup></small>''''' 06:38, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

== Seeking adoption ==
 
Hi! I noticed you were seeking new Wikipedians to adopt. I might not be the perfect candidate, since if you look at my contributions you'll see that I've technically been here for five years, but I was completely absent from Wikipedia for all but maybe two months of that. So I think I still count =) If you're still up for it, I'd love guidance on combatting vandalism, and I share your interest in programming. Thanks! [[User:Lilo Rage|Lilo Rage]] ([[User talk:Lilo Rage|talk]]) 12:21, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
 
Adopt me please!!!![[User:Recordyear|Recordyear]] ([[User talk:Recordyear|talk]]) 23:23, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
 
{{u|Recordyear}} I'm so sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner. I'd be more than happy too, but I am a bit bogged down at the moment. If you're still interested on the 5th of May please let me know and we can begin. Apologies again, [[User:ProgrammingGeek|'''<span style="color:Green">Programming</span><span style="color:Orange">Geek</span>''']][[User talk:ProgrammingGeek|<sup><span style="color:Green"> talk</span><span style="color:Orange">to</span>me</sup>]] 15:06, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

If Coasterdude1 is a sockpuppet (suckpoppet), then that disposes of the whole matter. At the same time, if there is no sockpuppetry, then it appears to be a deletion dispute. I don't think that it looks like the sort of case that DRN handles. In any event, the SPI will be checked out.
