With regards to Wikipedia, a few things you should know about me:
AdminGoed so! Just give me a few days to get my ducks in a row and write a swell motivation (I'm having a bit of a busy week :-) ) ... how does early next week sound? Kind Regards, Elf-friend 10:02, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Not expecting to find anything i found this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Dewet/safarinow.com I see you have been having to remove reference to 'safarinow' in the past, just ti let you know that i have no idea who has been adding the references, we don't authorise this kind of spammy stuff. We have a large affiliate program, so it could have been an affiliate. Anyway sorry for the hassle, please don't blacklist us or something! Regards Matthew Director, SafariNow.com http://www.safarinow.com/cms/about-us/irie.aspx RfAOkies, I put my comments up. Others have pretty much said it already, but I tried to explain as best as I could. Anyway, cheers! Master of Puppets That's hot. 16:20, 22 May 2006 (UTC) Signpost updated for May 22nd.

Were you aware you blanked a large chunk of text in Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Robchurch 4 when you cast your vote? I have resored it. VegaDark 19:21, 23 May 2006 (UTC) DesignGreat design you use on your user/talk pages; I've gratuitously stolen and adapted it for my own pages :) dewet|✉ 23:58, 23 May 2006 (UTC) Thanks!
On StellenboschHi Dewet, I suppose I have been full circle on Wikipedia now and I have come to realize that some things do not get done by others, and others do.. I learned how to use Popups from you, and I know you are around.. Thanks and cheers Gregorydavid 11:54, 24 May 2006 (UTC) Deleted articleHi, I see you noticed this issue relating to Kees Bruynzeel. Do you concur that it qualifies for a Netherlands Bio Sub relating to Stellenbosch and South Africa? If you can access it I am sure you will agree. Thank you Gregorydavid 15:48, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
Your admin candidacyHello there, sorry for the neutral vote. I suppose I should explain that I tend to think being an admin is a silly function. I don't think good editors should be admins, I think people who want to perform administrative tasks should be admins. Your responses didn't indcate to me that you were that interested in performing any administration tasks. Was I wrong? Páll (Die pienk olifant) 06:41, 25 May 2006 (UTC) Please see my responseat [[1]]. ike9898 13:43, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
PhotosHey Dewet you live in Stellenbosch, right? I'm seriously trying to get the Cape Town article up to Featured Status, but we really need some more images. Could you maybe take some of the main train station and another MetroRail station? Páll (Die pienk olifant) 16:44, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Lobet Gott in seinen ReichenThank you for contributing this article! I have announced it in the stubs section of Portal:Germany/New article announcements. If you write more about Bach cantatas, please add your articles to our announcement page. Thank you, and happy editing! Kusma (討論) 20:00, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
Firefox 1.5In reference to Firefox inadvertently apparently deleting information you asked Do you have any extensions?. I have several, but this was the only time that this problem was reported and I have mad a number of edits. I don't know how to list the extensions without typing them out manually. --Walter Görlitz 21:13, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
ThanksGood to see someone who's actually around to clean up the Wiki. If there's any way I can be of service, my communication channels are always open (or at least taking a message). :) Orethrius 21:28, 27 May 2006 (UTC) PhotosDid you get a chance to take some photos on Sunday? How did they come out? Páll (Die pienk olifant) 06:21, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Zim articlesDewet. Thanks for the note of appreciation. I am considering nominating the Whites in Zimbabwe article for Good Article status. What do you think?. Bob BScar23625 17:17, 31 May 2006 (UTC) Haikona SpamHi I have tracked down some spanning of haikona.com from another IP address.

I was just reverting the edit by the person who continually spams links into the page, must have overlapped your edit Fyver528 14:56, 7 June 2006 (UTC) & in relation to the above comment; I'm half Seychellois, and lived there. I agree with Dewet.
Seychelles Travel Guide .... this is not comercial... any way.. i see you dont lidten and prefer to close your eyes... same like the french in second world war... well, i am not going to close my eyes and help a nazi regime! are you? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Seychellois (talk • contribs) Milestone toolHi Dewet, you're right - the tool was totally broken, due to an oversight on my part. Thanks for pointing it out! It should be fixed now; but note that the toolserver is currently suffering from database corruption for the English Wikipedia. The database will be fixed when the server gets new disks, but I'm not sure when this will occur. Anyway, the milestones for all other projects (even the Asian wikis) are working correctly, so I hope you can put the tool to some use. Cheers, Tangotango 07:39, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
Another new Bach cantata article that just appeared. Do you have a good idea what to do with the full text? Please take a look, Kusma (討論) 18:57, 10 June 2006 (UTC) Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBotSuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun! SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping. If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker. P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 21:22, 10 June 2006 (UTC) Signpost updated for June 12th.

Message delivered by Ralbot 01:36, 13 June 2006 (UTC) Cape Town FACWell, it's done. I listed Cape Town as a featured article candidate. Take a look on its FAC page and have a vote. Thanks! Páll (Die pienk olifant) 06:13, 13 June 2006 (UTC) PDF file Ceres, South AfricaI was just messing around. (I had just discovered I could make PDF files). I doubt making PDF files for past versions of articles would be a significant addition to most articles. Certainly not Ceres, South Africa. I will remove the image and link. Fred Bauder 19:14, 16 June 2006 (UTC) Seasons v SeasonsA disruption to solstice and season occurred when a third-party uploader replaced Seasons.jpg with what is now Seasons_(Nadia_Russ).jpg. I have since re-uploaded the image to the latter location and reverted Seasons.jpg to the diagram of the Earth's seasons covered by NASA's PD policies. However, I have no idea what the license status is on the Nadia Russ file - as it was originally uploaded using a PD image's placeholder as a "shield" against deletion - and have not been able to reach the uploading member. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Orethrius 02:58, 18 June 2006 (UTC) Nadia RussFrom what I've been able to nail down from her contact page, Ms. Russ can apparently be contacted at neopoprealism1ATyahooDOTcom. Would it be a wise decision to bring this to her attention and request display permissions for her work "not for the defacement thereof, rather for the edification of the community through peer review" noting that should she object or not comment, automated procedures will remove the files within seven days of the initial uploading, making her mini-biography rather threadbare? I'd hate to see such helpful artwork lost to the sands of time if the artist has no objections - though it may pay to reference Newsweek, the Post, or any other positive mass media coverage of Wikipedia. She apparently has IM coverage, as well, but I'm holding off on contacts until I have a clear idea of what I should say if anything at all. Additionally, the article is an absolute MESS - I'm going to attempt to tackle it tomorrow. Orethrius 11:14, 18 June 2006 (UTC) (re-signed Orethrius 11:24, 18 June 2006 (UTC)) Hookah article vandalismI just wanted to let you know that someone is removing information from an article on the Hookah. I'm new to editing and I wasn't able to figure out how to revert. Adding back all the info would be more difficult, and I might miss something. So as the last person to edit the article before the vandalism I thought I'd let you know. --Knuckle Bean 06:14, 19 June 2006 (UTC) Signpost updated for June 19th.
