Sonofagun...
Thank you SO much for the Barnstar! I promised myself that I'd do at least one new article a week and clean up at least one article a day. Ah, but the vandal fighting...very refreshing during lulls at work. :) Really, thanks much for the attaboy. Much obliged.

Request for Name Change
Hi! I recently added a request for a name change from Cory K (boring) to Bellito (cool.) It says under my request, "Bureaucrat: User has 131 edits, and target Username not taken." or something like that. However, when I try to log in with Bellito as the username and my same password, it won't let me! What's going on?...
 The preceeding statement in a nutshell:
|
| I don't understand why my proposed username that was seemingly accepted fails to work, please help me and thank you |
So, uhh... How do I know when my username has changed, then? Will I get an email or whatever?

Thanks for explaining the whole username change procedure! Cory K 02:09, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
Helpme!
{{helpme}}
No I don't really need help.. but don't remove it for a bit please. THanks! :) — Deon555talkReview 02:37, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
ps i've told the guys at bootcamp :)
{{helpme}} -- again.. I dont need help :) I'll remove it it one minute — Deon555talkReview 02:10, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
You changed references to Stange to Strange. Please note the spelling was correct in the first place. --Hack 08:54, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

The References
Hi there! I finally figured out what was screwing around with the references. It was a really stupid mistake by me. I'll show you here below.
This is what I was doing (problem bolded):
<ref>[http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/10/22/amnesia.identified/index.html | Example text]</ref>
When I should have been doing:
<ref>http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/10/22/amnesia.identified/index.html Example text</ref>
I shouldn't have put a | in anywhere. Sorry for the trouble last night. Yours, Philip Gronowski Contribs 20:06, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Carnegie of Finhaven
Deon555,
thanks for the advice. On the help search, I followed your suggestion but the search is returning very few articles. For example I searched for 'stub' and was expected 5 or so pages to come up where the word 'stub' was in the text.
On the templates I really thought there would be a list of pages like User:Haseler/template (perhaps tailored for different subjects).
Ideally I want to put { {new article|history } } hit "save page" and hey presto I have an entirely new article with all the subheadings etc.
The other problem I have is working out whether or how I should add categories. Is there a way to search categories?
--Mike 23:03, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Deon555, I copied across your text on email - it's now missing! And I notice there's a change on your page - I hope I haven't done something stupid!
--Mike 01:04, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Helpme tags
... are not answered by bots, but by human editors. Please don't abuse them. -- Merope 02:34, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- I apologize for the misunderstanding. You might want to make the test page a bit clearer -- at first glance, it looks like you're just being silly. I understand now that this is not the case, and I apologize for the message. -- Merope

Hi - thanks for your notes on this page. I wonder if you've seen User:DumbBOT/UsernameChange? This automatically generates the information which you are compiling, and I usually check it before changing any usernames. If you've got any suggestions for improvements to it, I'm sure that would also be appreciated. Warofdreams talk Date for archival purposes: 06:24, 6 November 2004
hello

Did I forget to mention...
...that I've been back for a few weeks? I just did an anon edit via my home IP and saw the silly misunderstanding we had back in July. Saw you were in; thought I'd drop by and say good night. Off to hit the sack.

Hi Deon, thank you for your quick response and assistance with my amateur radio problem :-) Roaming27 05:46, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
New Article temple
Deon555,
Yesterday we briefly talked about a template that magically filled in a black article, I think I may have made a good start, and I'd appreciate you having a look:
Open up a blank document.
If you want a document with lots of comments enter:
{{subst:NA}}
if without comments enter:
{{subst:NA|0}}
save the page - then open it again to see what is there! --Mike 00:02, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Your RFA
Any idea why any time I try to contribute, I get #REDIRECT Request for ddminship/Deon555? Where did "ddminship" come from? When I try to go there directly, I'm redirected to your RFA entry. WTF!? --Ginkgo100 talk · e@ 03:30, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
RFA
Can I suggest you withdraw your nom for adminship at the current time with good humour and stand again in, say, late December, having taken on board the criticisms made? I think you'd then sail through an RFA with overwhelming support... and be a better admin for the experience of the intervening months. I'd love to support your nom, but currently cannot. If the Afd is unsuccessful, when you run again, please drop me a line at my talk page. --Dweller 08:45, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
Sending you a personal message...
I'm sorry if my comments on your Rfa were harsh, but I thought it was important to be honest. If there is anyway to help you out, feel free to leave me a message. OK ? Jcam 20:05, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
The prodded image
Since its over at commons, You'd have to go over there to do something about it. However, since it has a free license, there might not be much enthusiasm over there for deletion. But that is the way to go. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 04:32, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
After you fixed the improper use of the helpme template here, just thought I'd tell you I removed them all from the page (see next diff and edit summary), cheers! Michael Billington (talk • contribs) 10:24, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
Checkuser clerk?
Are you still interested in helping out at WP:RFCU? If so, go ahead and add your name to the active list. We've had several clerks take breaks, and I'd like a break, too. Although that leaves 5 active clerks, there are still sometimes lags in archiving cases, so an extra hand to spread things out should be a good thing. Everything you should need to know is at Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Clerks/Guide, and the clerk's noticeboard Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Clerks/Requests (although some past discussions about policies are split between the noticeboard, its talk page, and various archives). The main tasks are, helping people with requests (formatting, the letter codes, adding links to relevant previous cases), and archiving answered requests. Ocassionally someone will create a new page rather than adding on to an old request; those should be merged and redirected to the main case page. If you have any questions you can ask me or any other active clerk.
If you are no longer interested, delist your name so I can move down and ask the next person in line. Thanks. Thatcher131 01:39, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks
Hey deon, I think you might have made a typo in your RfA message. It says it "closed successfully." Thanks for the meetup info. :) Sarah Ewart (Talk) 23:10, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
Your RfA thanks
Heya, thanks for dropping me a line about your recent RfA. I just thought I should mention that the template you used for the thank-you note appears to be incomplete, and should have included a "|}", without the quotes, as the very last thing on a line of its own. Otherwise, when people add new messages to the page, they appear inside the box created by the template.
If you added the template with something like AWB it should be relatively easy to add those two characters to all the pages (excluding mine) that the template was added to, but if you didn't, just ask and I'll help you fix it up.
Cheerio, Daveydweeb (chat/patch) 10:19, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
- Hey, no problem re: the support. :)
- I'm actually about to go have a shower (mmm... wet and nekkid), but when I get back perhaps we can find a way to split the workload? I don't really wanna see you have to manually fix so many substituted templates! Daveydweeb (chat/patch) 10:51, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
What your username brings to mind
Hi Deon! (You may recall the smile I left you a few weeks ago...) I just remembered something: Your username sounds a lot like the Pokémon Deoxys. Did Deoxys really have an effect on your username? Bellito 17:56, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
P.S. I'd like you to see my new messageboxes at my userpage... Tell me what you think on my talk page!
RFA thanks from Mike

Thank you for your Support on my recent RfA, which I withdrew at 16/20/4. The criticism I received will hopefully result in me learning becoming a better editor, and thanks again for your support! |
Messagebox feedback
Thanks SO much for your feedback on my messageboxes! (I put a lot of work into those)
AND, More importantly...
THANKS FOR THE BARNSTAR! Here. Have another...

I've received two coaching assignments instead of one from the Esperanza Admin coaching program, so inorder to accomodate both students, I've set up a Virtual classroom. And to make the classroom even more rewarding and fun, I've invited some of the most prolific and talented editors of Wikipedia to come and contribute their know how so we can all learn. Currently, we are all comparing the tools each of us makes use of in navigating and working on Wikipedia. So far, Interiot, Rich Farmbrough, and CBDunkerson have been kind enough to help get things started by sharing their experience. You are cordially invited to participate as a student, a coach, or both! The Transhumanist 15:42, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Uber-cool! Thanks! Getting ready to deal with a contest, so I'll say TTFN. - Lucky 6.9 01:28, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
Moved from user page
Article I printed off for a school paper -- need your help on this.
Hello, Deon, hi, this is Mrs. Hammons who you just reponded to on my situation I'm in on this paper.
I just printed out the citing Wikipedia you talked about but I need you to do me a favor -- can you help me on line right now properly type it the way it should appear on my paper. Once I do this & correct it, I'm going to send it to my teacher ASAP so we can move onto draft#2 working on simpler stuff. I just need help on this right now. Can you talk to me via right now while I'm on line with you??
Thanks, Mrs. Hammons

- Thanks Sarah :)— Deon555talk 01:51, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
- Mrs. Hammons, You need to read the Citing Wikipedia page, and, use the "Cite this article" and/or use this page and type in the article's name, it will then give you information on how to site it etc. From memory, You cite "Various Editors, Wikimedia Foundation" — Deon555talk 01:51, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
Open proxy?
Hey D, I hope you had a good time at the fete. I was wondering if you could do me a favour...can you tell me if this IP 202.184.252.5 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) is an open proxy or something? It's related to the vandal on AN/I who's harassing Longhair, Chuq and ScottDavis. They've been IP hopping all day and this is the latest they've used to add private information to Scott's userpage. I've deleted the info and blocked the IP but I just want to know if it should be indef blocked. Cheers, Sarah Ewart (Talk) 08:27, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
- Thankyou very much, Deon, I've changed the block to indefinite. You're a legend, as always. :) Have a good weekend. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 12:20, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
