FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Adopt-a-page/Reply email text

The Initial Reply
Hi (Name) – thanks so much for your interest in adopting pages in the FamilySearch wiki pages on behalf of the (organizations' name).

In order to complete the adoption process, here’s what I need: 1.      Contact information: In addition to the contact info that you’ve already provided for this adoption (your name and email) would you like to list a secondary contact? 2.      Adoption Sign Wording: We want to confirm the wording on the adoption sign. Based on what you’ve already provided us, the sign will read: “This page has been adopted by the (organization's name) and its members.” Can you confirm that’s how you’d like the sign to read? 3.      Logo: Please provide a soft copy of a logo for your society/organization that you’d like to appear on your adoption sign (we can accept just about any file type - .png, .jpg and .gif are easiest for us to work with). Note that you can send us any size logo, however, we will reduce it to 45x45 pixels to fit within the sign. If you do not have a logo, we will just place your organization’s name on the adoption sign. 4.      Link to your website: Based on the information that you’ve provided us, wiki users who click on your adoption sign will be re-directed to the following URL: (add url here). Let us know if that is incorrect (no need to re-confirm if correct). 5.      List of pages that you’d like to adopt: Based on your request, the page I understand that you want to adopt is (link to wiki page url). Let us know if that is incorrect (no need to re-confirm if correct). Once you’ve adopted one page, the process to adopt other pages is very easy. Are there other pages that you would consider adopting at this time? Once we get this information, I’ll put together a draft version of the sign and publish it on one of the pages you’ve requested to adopt and ask you to review/confirm that we’ve represented your organization correctly. Once we receive your confirmation, we’ll propagate this to all of the other pages that you’ve identified.

Thanks again and, on behalf of the FamilySearch team, we’re looking forward to working with you and others at the (organization's name)!

Best regards,

Can you confirm that is correct? 6.      State conflicts with other requests received. Example: For your information only, after we received your request, we received another request from another organization to adopt all of the Pennsylvania pages, however, your request was received first, so, you have first right of refusal to the PA pages.)
