Please contact me on jef_frey_kni_pe_at_g_mail_dot_com (remove all underscores, at = @ and dot .... well, you get the idea.) Was reading article about South African Special Forces, noticed that every one has that sad badge and redrew it quickly. Wanted to give it to you to upload to the article as a replacement.

Hi. I've been following the edits of Alcatel lately, following a few NPOV quasi-vandalisations of some pages I was working on. Of all the edits that s(he) has made so far, I can honestly say that I don't believe that more than 10% were useful, or that more than about 20% were not subsequently reverted by other users. The edits are riddled with factual inaccuracy, usually in attempts to push a political point, and contain frequent use of the term "kaffir" to refer to black South Africans. I've left a (hopefully) fairly peacable suggestion on Alcatel's talk page, and have been trying to defuse some of the edit wars Alcatel has started (by expanding disputed sections with verified, neutral fact). However, I am worried that this will continue. I was hoping maybe you could help me keep an eye on Alcatel's edits, and maybe try and nudge him/her towards a more constructive means of participating in wikipedia. (Trying. Not. To. Get. Angry.) - Kieran 21:35, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi again Esperanzians! Well, since our last frolic in the realms of news, the Advisory Council has met twice more (see WP:ESP/ACM2 and WP:ESP/ACM3). As a result, the charter has been ammended twice (see here for details) and all of the shortcuts have been standardised (see the summary for more details). Also of note is the Valentines ball that will take place in the Esperanza IRC channel on the 14th of February (tomorrow). It will start at 6pm UTC and go on until everyone's had enough! I hope to see you all there! Also, the spamlist has been dissolved - all Esperanzians will now recieve this update "newsletter".
The other major notice I need to tell you about is the upcoming Esperanza Advisory Council Elections. These will take place from 12:00 UTC on February 20th to 11:59 UTC on February 27th. The official handing-over will take place the following day. Candidates are able to volunteer any time before the 20th, so long as they are already listed on the members list. Anyone currently listed on the memberlist can vote. In a change since last time, if you have already been a member of the leadership, you may run again. Due to the neutrality precident, I will not vote for anyone.
Yours, as ever, Esperanzially,

Hi there. I just wanted to congratulate you on your fantastic work on the South African Border War and the operations conducted during it. I've always been bugged by the lack of any coverage on that period of the defence force's history, but I've been too busy of late to do much about it. Your work on the units of the SA Army has also been excellent, with a ton of interesting detail. Incidentally, where do you get your info from? Anyway, keep up the great work, and good luck with the Admin nomination (though looking at the votes, I'd say you've got that in the bag). Cheers. — Imp i 10:28, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
Congratulations! It's my pleasure to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator. You should read the relevant policies and other pages linked to from the administrators' reading list before carrying out tasks like deletion, protection, banning users, and editing protected pages such as the Main Page. Most of what you do is easily reversible by other sysops, apart from page history merges and image deletion, so please be especially careful with those. You might find the new administrators' how-to guide helpful.
While I'm here, are you a friend to elves, or an elf that's friendly? Cheers! -- Cecropia 15:43, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I see you are working on this as well. Do you have any information on "Bridge Fourteen" ? I saw the news on TV1 at the time and my PF Major Blaauw from Potch Artillery, 4th Field Regiment, apeared on the news at the front, probably where the advance came to a standstill.

I was reading your talk about Tsotsi.. This happens all the time.. Due to fuzzy search input, transliteration issues, disambiguation issues, sloven spelling and our multi-lingual user community we need a seamless search facility. Wiki searches are very exact as far as existing articles are concerned. Why can't a Wikipedia search divert to a Wiktionary result where appropriate, and vice versa?

On Your vote for keeping the Stephen Glicker article deleted could you please elaborate as to the evidance brought forth, why you voted to keep deleted?

If you ever speedy an article with an AfD tag, such as the aladdin, please head over to the deletion discussion page and close it off (see Wikipedia:Deletion_process#Articles_for_Deletion_page for how). I've covered the example I've given above, but it does make it easier for the grunts over at AfD when you admins clean up your tracks and indicate what the hell is going on :P -- Saberwyn 11:51, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Hey, thanks for your help with this article :) I spent hours looking for pics of that temple near Joburg, but didn't know what it was called... turns out you'd taken a pic that was already on wikipedia! Much appreciated, Joziboy 3 April 2006, 13:00 (UTC)
You appear to have deleted the above article, but I am not sure what your edit summary means, as it does not explain why you made the deletion. Can you elaborate? Thanks. Turnstep 13:25, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
I think this refers to something fictional rather than nonsensical. Could you please let it run through AFD? - Mgm| (talk) 11:46, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
Just noticed you proposed my stub on Georgia Tann for deletion. Is she not a legitimate topic or did I just not provide enough info? I am doing research now to write a more indepth article on her and the Tennessee Children's Home Society. Couldn't find any articles specifically about that, just the ones on adoption and orphanages. It was a terrific scandal at the time and has affected thousands of people's lives, so I thought it was wikipedia-worthy. If not, no problem, I'm just curious to know the reason. Thanks. -- Bluejay Young 12:27, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
There is apparently some confusion regarding his google test notability. He is written about mostly as "stephen dare". If you google check him this way you will see that there are actually multiple pages of listing and hundreds of articles and references. Thank you very much!

Hello there. You have proposed the article Skits-o-phrenics for deletion without providing a reason why in the {{ prod}} template. You may be interested to know that you can add your reasoning like that: {{prod|Add reason for deletion here}}. This will make your reasoning show up in the article's deletion notice. It will also aid other users in considering your suggestion on the Proposed Deletions log. See also: How to propose deletion of an article. Best, Sandstein 04:44, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Dankie!
Yes, it's maybe a little late, but it does not matter, it is always very nice to be welcomed by someone! I noticed that you are a South African, and that great, because I am really interested in you're countries history and it's people. I would be very interested in having a chat about you're country and other things concidered. User:Dr.Poison
I had a friend who visited SA (Tulbagh, near Cape Town) in 2000. One of the things that he told me was about the crimerate in SA and that it is not safe to walk freely in Cape Town and that it is best to always use you're car when going somewhere. Ive heard the same from other people visiting SA, but I'm not realy sure if I should belive in it? Is it realy so criminal that you can't walk on the streets in SA? The second thing that I am wondering about is how people feel about the "new South Africa"? I am wondering about this because I have heard that there is still many people who are not so happy with everything in SA. Dr.Poison 16:19, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
As You maybe already have seen I have writen a article about the South African referendum, 1992. I was wondering if You would like to read it through and give you're thoughts about it? � Dr.Poison 21:06, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

hi! I don't really know but my South African referendum, 1992 article has been listed as a Articles with unsourced statements. I have put a scource to the discussion, put I don't really know if I have done something wrong or right? Then there is the article about the Conservative Party of South Africa, I wrote some new info there and I have a scource at the discusion page for the facts. If you could have a look at those two things and tell me if I have done something wrong... I am actually realy unsure if I have done something stupid or violated something...

Hi, could I ask you to stop leaving messages regarding Dewet's RFA? There are some editors that would consider that spam, and in any case solicitation like that is considered bad form by many editors.

Hi Elf-friend, sorry about the above. There must be somehow we can contact other wikiusers that have common interests as ourselves. I am keen on knowning when other users that I have had alot of contact with are up for Admin or SA article up for vote ect. My thoughts are moving to some kind of mailing list that is controlled by a select few, for example yourself, Impi, Wizzy, Banes, PZFUN and me to name a few.
Anyway here is something of interest, the Africa Award has been proposed as an official award, we could sure use your input at the proposal page - Thank you! -- Jcw69 08:10, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your replies on the Battle of Cassinga discussion page. It is unfortunately a very contentious matter, and there is no easy way to resolve it. That's partially why I focused mostly on the military aspect of the operation, thinking I would have time later to give greater coverage to the controversy and difference in opinion about the raid. Unfortunately, time hasn't been on my side of late. Anyway, I've left some comments on the talk page explaining my position, so I won't go into it now. Btw, how's the admin work going? — Imp i 17:16, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Dankie vir jou moeite met die Afrikaners artikel. Ek het maar net gesien dat die ding 'n gemors was en wou dit bietjie reguit trek. Ek het nie baie inligting bygevoeg nie, en het ongelukkig nie 'n bron vir die 300 000 in Engeland nie, aangesien dit reeds daar was. Ek het die Afrikaner, Kaapse Hollander en Boer goed net probeer rangskik in 'n logiese orde, en kan nie instaan vir die juistheid daarvan nie. Persoonlik dink ek dat die term "Boer" net 'n troetelnaam is wat deur verregses geskaak is. Ek het gehoop dat my klassifikasies 'n tipe van 'n kompromie sou teweegbring. Die term "Afrikaanses" is deur Elna Boesak geskep na aanleiding van haar en Allan Boesak se huwelik, ek dink egter nie dat dit formeel erken word nie, maar dit maak vandag deel van die omgangstaal uit. Ek gee nie om as jy redigeer soos jy goeddink nie.
Ek sukkel bietjie om balans by die Volkstaat en Orania bladsye te behou. Ek is wel 'n ondersteuner van die selfbeskikkingskonsep, maar ek dink dat ekstremiste die artikels of verregs of heeltemal anti-Afrikaner en rassisties wil pluk. Ek is nie seker wat die Wikipedia beleid is nie, maar ek dink nie dat beskuldigings van rassisme in artikels geplaas kan word nie. Ek sal dit daarom waardeer indien jy na die besprekingsbladsye van die twee artikels kan kyk.
Dankie. -- Gemsbok1 13:46, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Hey there, I saw this question [2] and was very disturbed. Any chance you'd help me by adding to my reply on the user's talk page? Páll (Die pienk olifant) 21:52, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.
As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.
Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, — Cel es tianpower háblame 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Please feel free to evaluate the Libya article which has become a 'Featured Article Candidate' and write you support or opposition on Wikipedia:Featured article candidates. Hopefully Libya will become only the second African country to be featured on Wikipedia. Thanks -- User:Jaw101ie 12:28, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

I read your comments on the Talk:Afrikaner page and wonder if you could help in a discussion surrounding a category ( Category:Afrikaners) to which all pages for Afrikaans speaking people are now being added (unfairly in my opinion). I have had a discussion with the user on my talk page and I'm starting a discussion on one such affected page: Okkert Brits. Thanks. -- Deon Steyn 09:22, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Jammer, Elf-friend, om weer op jou knoppie te druk oor die Afrikaner artikel. Ek het 'n kategorie vir Afrikaners geskep, en almal wat op die List of notable Afrikaners was in die kategorie gelys sowel as verskillende artikels wat Afrikaners raak. Nou is daar skrywers wat van my verwag om bewyse voor te lê dat mense soos Okkert Britswel 'n Afrikaner is voordat ek die klassifikasie doen. Ek sal dit waardeer indien jy ook 'n inset sal lewer by talk:Afrikaner. Dankie. - Gemsbok1 07:50, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for catching my mistake in the Atlas Cheetah article. I had been working all evening on posting the Dassault Mirage 5, and accidently put 5 by mistake instead of III. I do have the Cheetah on the Mirage III page as a variant, but not on the 5's page. Thanks again. - BillCJ 07:25, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Alouette III.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
{{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MECU≈ talk 00:44, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

I don't understand why the Battlemaster article was deleted with "unopposed for 5 days". It had been proposed for deletion in early 2006 and after extensive discussion, deletion was rejected. It appears the sole proponent of deletion back then simply proposed it again, hoping people wouldn't want to repeat the discussion - and succeeded. Please reconsider. The discussion might still be available. "unopposed" is most certainly untrue.

Thanks for uploading Image:BJ Vorster.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 06:41, 9 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Anrie 06:41, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Pilatus Astra.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 04:23, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:EH101profile.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot ( talk) 05:19, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot ( talk) 00:49, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Cheetah C.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rossrs ( talk) 08:01, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Spur logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot ( talk) 19:26, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Addo official guide.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

Hello Elf-friend! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 5 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 942 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{ unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

Hi Elf-friend!
The nascent South African Wikimedia chapter has decided to bid to host Wikimania in Stellenbosch, South Africa in 2012. This would be the first Wikimania in South Africa, and would be a great advertisement for our country. Please take a look at meta:Wikimania_2012/Bids/Stellenbosch. If you can add to the discussion, please do. If you feel that you are able to do anything to help, please join the Wikimedia South Africa mailing list and let us know. Even simple messages of support are valued!

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of Afrikaners is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Afrikaners until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. -- Selket Talk 23:18, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative privileges of users who have been inactive for one year, meaning administrators who have made neither any edits nor any logged actions in over one year. As a result of this discussion, your administrative privileges have been removed pending your return. If you wish to have these privileges reinstated, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged.

Hi. I've been following the edits of Alcatel lately, following a few NPOV quasi-vandalisations of some pages I was working on. Of all the edits that s(he) has made so far, I can honestly say that I don't believe that more than 10% were useful, or that more than about 20% were not subsequently reverted by other users. The edits are riddled with factual inaccuracy, usually in attempts to push a political point, and contain frequent use of the term "kaffir" to refer to black South Africans. I've left a (hopefully) fairly peacable suggestion on Alcatel's talk page, and have been trying to defuse some of the edit wars Alcatel has started (by expanding disputed sections with verified, neutral fact). However, I am worried that this will continue. I was hoping maybe you could help me keep an eye on Alcatel's edits, and maybe try and nudge him/her towards a more constructive means of participating in wikipedia. (Trying. Not. To. Get. Angry.) - Kieran 21:35, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

The other major notice I need to tell you about is the upcoming Esperanza Advisory Council Elections. These will take place from 12:00 UTC on February 20th to 11:59 UTC on February 27th. The official handing-over will take place the following day. Candidates are able to volunteer any time before the 20th, so long as they are already listed on the members list. Anyone currently listed on the memberlist can vote. In a change since last time, if you have already been a member of the leadership, you may run again. Due to the neutrality precident, I will not vote for anyone.
Yours, as ever, Esperanzially,

Hi there. I just wanted to congratulate you on your fantastic work on the South African Border War and the operations conducted during it. I've always been bugged by the lack of any coverage on that period of the defence force's history, but I've been too busy of late to do much about it. Your work on the units of the SA Army has also been excellent, with a ton of interesting detail. Incidentally, where do you get your info from? Anyway, keep up the great work, and good luck with the Admin nomination (though looking at the votes, I'd say you've got that in the bag). Cheers. — Imp i 10:28, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
Congratulations! It's my pleasure to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator. You should read the relevant policies and other pages linked to from the administrators' reading list before carrying out tasks like deletion, protection, banning users, and editing protected pages such as the Main Page. Most of what you do is easily reversible by other sysops, apart from page history merges and image deletion, so please be especially careful with those. You might find the new administrators' how-to guide helpful.
While I'm here, are you a friend to elves, or an elf that's friendly? Cheers! -- Cecropia 15:43, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for supporting me in my request for adminship! It ended with a tally of 39/5/4, and I am now an admin. I'm glad to have earned the trust of the community, and I will make use of it responsibly. Of course, you can let me know of any comments or concerns you have.
With a million articles in front of me, I'd better get mopping.

Hi, I see you are working on this as well. Do you have any information on "Bridge Fourteen" ? I saw the news on TV1 at the time and my PF Major Blaauw from Potch Artillery, 4th Field Regiment, apeared on the news at the front, probably where the advance came to a standstill. The Americans withdrew their support for the exercise at about that time? Gregorydavid 14:00, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

I was reading your talk about Tsotsi.. This happens all the time.. Due to fuzzy search input, transliteration issues, disambiguation issues, sloven spelling and our multi-lingual user community we need a seamless search facility. Wiki searches are very exact as far as existing articles are concerned. Why can't a Wikipedia search divert to a Wiktionary result where appropriate, and vice versa?

On Your vote for keeping the Stephen Glicker article deleted could you please elaborate as to the evidance brought forth, why you voted to keep deleted?

Congratulations, how did I miss this? You sneaked under the radar and now you're an administrator. Well done! I have being so busy getting my new company, e-science, off the ground that I have slacked off abit on wiki but I will make it up. -- Jcw69 11:36, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
If you ever speedy an article with an AfD tag, such as the aladdin, please head over to the deletion discussion page and close it off (see Wikipedia:Deletion_process#Articles_for_Deletion_page for how). I've covered the example I've given above, but it does make it easier for the grunts over at AfD when you admins clean up your tracks and indicate what the hell is going on :P -- Saberwyn 11:51, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Hey, thanks for your help with this article :) I spent hours looking for pics of that temple near Joburg, but didn't know what it was called... turns out you'd taken a pic that was already on wikipedia! Much appreciated, Joziboy 3 April 2006, 13:00 (UTC)
You appear to have deleted the above article, but I am not sure what your edit summary means, as it does not explain why you made the deletion. Can you elaborate? Thanks. Turnstep 13:25, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
I think this refers to something fictional rather than nonsensical. Could you please let it run through AFD? - Mgm| (talk) 11:46, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
Just noticed you proposed my stub on Georgia Tann for deletion. Is she not a legitimate topic or did I just not provide enough info? I am doing research now to write a more indepth article on her and the Tennessee Children's Home Society. Couldn't find any articles specifically about that, just the ones on adoption and orphanages. It was a terrific scandal at the time and has affected thousands of people's lives, so I thought it was wikipedia-worthy. If not, no problem, I'm just curious to know the reason. Thanks. -- Bluejay Young 12:27, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
There is apparently some confusion regarding his google test notability. He is written about mostly as "stephen dare". If you google check him this way you will see that there are actually multiple pages of listing and hundreds of articles and references. Thank you very much!

Hello there. You have proposed the article Skits-o-phrenics for deletion without providing a reason why in the {{ prod}} template. You may be interested to know that you can add your reasoning like that: {{prod|Add reason for deletion here}}. This will make your reasoning show up in the article's deletion notice. It will also aid other users in considering your suggestion on the Proposed Deletions log. See also: How to propose deletion of an article. Best, Sandstein 04:44, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Dankie!
Yes, it's maybe a little late, but it does not matter, it is always very nice to be welcomed by someone! I noticed that you are a South African, and that great, because I am really interested in you're countries history and it's people. I would be very interested in having a chat about you're country and other things concidered. User:Dr.Poison
I had a friend who visited SA (Tulbagh, near Cape Town) in 2000. One of the things that he told me was about the crimerate in SA and that it is not safe to walk freely in Cape Town and that it is best to always use you're car when going somewhere. Ive heard the same from other people visiting SA, but I'm not realy sure if I should belive in it? Is it realy so criminal that you can't walk on the streets in SA? The second thing that I am wondering about is how people feel about the "new South Africa"? I am wondering about this because I have heard that there is still many people who are not so happy with everything in SA. Dr.Poison 16:19, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
As You maybe already have seen I have writen a article about the South African referendum, 1992. I was wondering if You would like to read it through and give you're thoughts about it? � Dr.Poison 21:06, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

hi! I don't really know but my South African referendum, 1992 article has been listed as a Articles with unsourced statements. I have put a scource to the discussion, put I don't really know if I have done something wrong or right? Then there is the article about the Conservative Party of South Africa, I wrote some new info there and I have a scource at the discusion page for the facts. If you could have a look at those two things and tell me if I have done something wrong... I am actually realy unsure if I have done something stupid or violated something...

Hi, could I ask you to stop leaving messages regarding Dewet's RFA? There are some editors that would consider that spam, and in any case solicitation like that is considered bad form by many editors.

Hi Elf-friend, sorry about the above. There must be somehow we can contact other wikiusers that have common interests as ourselves. I am keen on knowning when other users that I have had alot of contact with are up for Admin or SA article up for vote ect. My thoughts are moving to some kind of mailing list that is controlled by a select few, for example yourself, Impi, Wizzy, Banes, PZFUN and me to name a few.
Anyway here is something of interest, the Africa Award has been proposed as an official award, we could sure use your input at the proposal page - Thank you! -- Jcw69 08:10, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your replies on the Battle of Cassinga discussion page. It is unfortunately a very contentious matter, and there is no easy way to resolve it. That's partially why I focused mostly on the military aspect of the operation, thinking I would have time later to give greater coverage to the controversy and difference in opinion about the raid. Unfortunately, time hasn't been on my side of late. Anyway, I've left some comments on the talk page explaining my position, so I won't go into it now. Btw, how's the admin work going? — Imp i 17:16, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Dankie vir jou moeite met die Afrikaners artikel. Ek het maar net gesien dat die ding 'n gemors was en wou dit bietjie reguit trek. Ek het nie baie inligting bygevoeg nie, en het ongelukkig nie 'n bron vir die 300 000 in Engeland nie, aangesien dit reeds daar was. Ek het die Afrikaner, Kaapse Hollander en Boer goed net probeer rangskik in 'n logiese orde, en kan nie instaan vir die juistheid daarvan nie. Persoonlik dink ek dat die term "Boer" net 'n troetelnaam is wat deur verregses geskaak is. Ek het gehoop dat my klassifikasies 'n tipe van 'n kompromie sou teweegbring. Die term "Afrikaanses" is deur Elna Boesak geskep na aanleiding van haar en Allan Boesak se huwelik, ek dink egter nie dat dit formeel erken word nie, maar dit maak vandag deel van die omgangstaal uit. Ek gee nie om as jy redigeer soos jy goeddink nie.
Ek sukkel bietjie om balans by die Volkstaat en Orania bladsye te behou. Ek is wel 'n ondersteuner van die selfbeskikkingskonsep, maar ek dink dat ekstremiste die artikels of verregs of heeltemal anti-Afrikaner en rassisties wil pluk. Ek is nie seker wat die Wikipedia beleid is nie, maar ek dink nie dat beskuldigings van rassisme in artikels geplaas kan word nie. Ek sal dit daarom waardeer indien jy na die besprekingsbladsye van die twee artikels kan kyk.
Dankie. -- Gemsbok1 13:46, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Hey there, I saw this question [2] and was very disturbed. Any chance you'd help me by adding to my reply on the user's talk page? Páll (Die pienk olifant) 21:52, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.
As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.
Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, — Cel es tianpower háblame 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

I read your comments on the Talk:Afrikaner page and wonder if you could help in a discussion surrounding a category ( Category:Afrikaners) to which all pages for Afrikaans speaking people are now being added (unfairly in my opinion). I have had a discussion with the user on my talk page and I'm starting a discussion on one such affected page: Okkert Brits. Thanks. -- Deon Steyn 09:22, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Jammer, Elf-friend, om weer op jou knoppie te druk oor die Afrikaner artikel. Ek het 'n kategorie vir Afrikaners geskep, en almal wat op die List of notable Afrikaners was in die kategorie gelys sowel as verskillende artikels wat Afrikaners raak. Nou is daar skrywers wat van my verwag om bewyse voor te lê dat mense soos Okkert Britswel 'n Afrikaner is voordat ek die klassifikasie doen. Ek sal dit waardeer indien jy ook 'n inset sal lewer by talk:Afrikaner. Dankie. - Gemsbok1 07:50, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for catching my mistake in the Atlas Cheetah article. I had been working all evening on posting the Dassault Mirage 5, and accidently put 5 by mistake instead of III. I do have the Cheetah on the Mirage III page as a variant, but not on the 5's page. Thanks again. - BillCJ 07:25, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Alouette III.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
{{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MECU≈ talk 00:44, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi! I'm Ral315, editor-in-chief of the Wikipedia Signpost. It appears that you have not edited in at least three weeks. To avoid spamming your talk page any further, should you be on leave, your name has been removed from the Signpost spamlist. If you wish to continue receiving the spamlist, please leave a note on my talk page to that effect, and I will restore your name, and keep you on the list indefinitely.

I don't understand why the Battlemaster article was deleted with "unopposed for 5 days". It had been proposed for deletion in early 2006 and after extensive discussion, deletion was rejected. It appears the sole proponent of deletion back then simply proposed it again, hoping people wouldn't want to repeat the discussion - and succeeded. Please reconsider. The discussion might still be available. "unopposed" is most certainly untrue.

Thanks for uploading Image:BJ Vorster.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 06:41, 9 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Anrie 06:41, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Pilatus Astra.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 04:23, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:EH101profile.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid.

Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion.

Hello Elf-friend! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 5 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 942 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{ unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

Hi Elf-friend!
The nascent South African Wikimedia chapter has decided to bid to host Wikimania in Stellenbosch, South Africa in 2012. This would be the first Wikimania in South Africa, and would be a great advertisement for our country. Please take a look at meta:Wikimania_2012/Bids/Stellenbosch. If you can add to the discussion, please do. If you feel that you are able to do anything to help, please join the Wikimedia South Africa mailing list and let us know. Even simple messages of support are valued!
Best regards,

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of Afrikaners is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Afrikaners until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. -- Selket Talk 23:18, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative privileges of users who have been inactive for one year, meaning administrators who have made neither any edits nor any logged actions in over one year. As a result of this discussion, your administrative privileges have been removed pending your return. If you wish to have these privileges reinstated, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Hello. You are receiving this message because of a recent change to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that you will not longer be able to request restoration of the tools because of your prior inactivity. You have until December 30, 2012 to request restoration or else the policy will prevent you from doing so in the future; you would need to seek a new WP:RFA. Until December 30, you can file a request at WP:BN for review by the crats. Thank you. MBisanz talk 04:22, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged.
