As I explained last week, Veteran's Day (Monday) was a company holiday, and you filed your request very late on Friday the 8th. That, if you'll remember, was something I said was going to be a complicating factor here. That means we wouldn't have reasonably gotten to your request before Tuesday, anyway.

That's worked for you, however. You were blocked on a wiki until Thursday, which means that, had the request been answered before then, it would have simply been denied, per our guidelines.

Plus, you started your efforts to get community consent on the wiki, after you filed your request. That communication effort has to be open for at least 7 days, too. So that's going to add some time to this request.

As of today, you're not eligible to adopt. So it's to your advantage to simply wait and let things unfold naturally. It's also to your advantage to use this time to go around to every editor who has edited within the last two weeks and specifically invite them to this discussion you've started, so that you can get more community consent. Don't assume that no one will answer, as you've stated on your adoption request. Talk to them directly on their user talk page or message wall and assume they will answer. (It's actually a specific point in our rules that you should reach out to community members, anyway.)

All of that, above, is why earlier in the week, I asked you to please not reach out to any staff member until about Thanksgiving. While we do try to answer them in 7 business days, it's not an exact quote. And you have issues with your adoption request that are going to take time to fully resolve.

Please just put your efforts into continuing to edit the wiki and trying to reach out to people who've edited there to ask their permission to adopt.

Thanks!
