Hey - thanks for sharing the guidelines to viewers. Just to clarify, Merrystar might allow for some extra time to either get more of a response or see if you continue editing (if you haven't done so in the wiki you want to adopt).

Also - administrators have to be inactive for 60 days (not 30 days!) in order for an adoption request to be accepted.

Another tip for future adopters: be patient, and thank the unofficial responders for helping you along!
