You will want to select the Peer Editing option, but real free to check out the other options too.

Your background will make you extremely valuable. I provided a link to the generic Community_portal page, which does have some useful suggestions. Given you background, you might find fixing spelling and grammar below you, but all of us work in the trenches on occasion. You might be interested in Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors. You mentioned decision making, which is a useful skill. You will want some more experience before tackling block reviews, as it takes a bit of knowledge of policies, many of which are obvious, but some of which are not. I just turned down a request to get more involved in block reviews here partly because I'm busy, partly because I don't think it fits my strengths. But it does point out there is a need. If it fits your interests, you will be very welcome, although again, I'd urge involvement in other areas first.--S Philbrick(Talk) 20:17, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Can I create my own WikiProject?

In principle, yes, but you need to make sure that there enough other people interested that it becomes a workable community and is not just you talking to yourself. Start by reading the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Guide, that will tell you a lot about what is involved. JohnCD (talk) 23:11, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Could i be adopted by an admin? I would love to become one, one day.

I don't adopt as such, but you're always (OK, mostly...) welcome to keep a watch on my talk page and other doings. Other people do, anyway. I'm not saying I'm a good example, but they haven't thrown me out yet. I'm not guaranteeing to be able to answer every question, but there's usually someone around who can. Probably better than me. If you find a better deal, take it... Peridon (talk) 15:39, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Lesson 1: take notice of bots. Do what SineBot says and sign talk page posts. Makes everyone's life easier. Including that of the bot... Peridon (talk) 15:41, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
