Welcome!
Hello, Deon, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia

- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome!
Here is my reply to the question you asked on the Wikipedia:Help desk: Just add {{attention}} to the top of the page. Though not a big red box, but a big blue one. If you believe the content is false and not represents a NPOV, {{TotallyDisputed}} might be appropriate. There are also other templates, see the See also section of this page.

Welcome to VandalProof!
What nonsense?
Good grief...this is why I left the project. I used to edit as "Lucky 6.9." I was once an administrator. I had 20,000 edits and six features to my credit and left this project precisely over the attitudes I'm encountering here and asked to be de-adminned to prevent the temptation. I was thinking of perhaps returning; I can see that little has changed here. You would do well to read the no personal attacks section. 71.102.76.166 07:05, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
No problem. You want proof? Check (a) my signature and (b) my contributions. Lucky 6.9 07:23, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
After rereading your comment, I'd like to add (c): I didn't write the stubs. I tagged them as a speedy under the proper criterion since I no longer have administrative rights per my own request. I was tempted to return and thought a little bit of RC patrolling might be a nice way to start. The temptation has gon away, believe me. - Lucky 6.9 07:27, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- Deon555, here's a good lesson in AGF: Lucky 6.9's edit counts [1] (over 20,000) and admin resignation [2] (February 2006). I'm sure he'll have some good advice for you. Tyrenius 11:42, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi Deon555! Thank you for taking part in my RfA! Unfortunately, it ended with a final result of (62/23/7), and with only 73% support, no consensus was achieved. Nevertheless, I'd like to thank you again for your support and better luck to me next time! It has also been a pleasure helping you. :) |

Ha ha! No worries. I thought a few days ago you deserved one for your RC work and dealing with the newbies and vandals, but I was a bit slow getting around to it. :) Sarah Ewart (Talk) 07:28, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
- No, I didn't know about the bot, but that sounds like a great project. Let me know how it goes! Sarah Ewart (Talk) 08:54, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
- Well since my python skills are umm how can i put this.. non-existent? Eagle_101, me and a few other wikipedians have turned it into a Wikiproject :) Wikipedia:WikiProject_AfD_closing. --Deon555|talk|e|Review Me! :D 12:10, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
- That looks great. I signed up for it. Hey Deon, do you mind if I make a suggestion about your signature? I reckon the "talk" part of it should go straight to your talk page. I use pop-ups myself and go straight to talk pages when I want to message someone, so it doesn't actually bother me. But I think for people without pop-ups it might be a bit annoying going to that contact page each time. Also, from the contact page, the only option for leaving you a talk page comment is the link which opens up a new comment window. If someone is wanting to add to a current section or just read your page, it could get really annoying. Specially if they're having a back-and-forth conversation with you. Just a thought.
- Also, are you be interested in going to a Wikimedia function in Melbourne? Angela Beesley has offered Melbourne people free tickets to go to a function that she is speaking at on the evening of August 31. She will be talking about "Future Directions for Free Content." It's at the The Churchill Club and tickets normally cost $66. I'll probably be working that night, so I don't think I'll be able to go, but I just thought I'd let you know. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 12:55, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
- P.S. You should make a barnstar section on your user page and move your barnstar over there! Sarah Ewart (Talk) 12:57, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
- P.P.S. Congrats on reaching 1000 edits. The first 1000 are the hardest, I think. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 12:59, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
- Done :) --Deon555|talk|e|Review Me! :D 00:11, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
- PS :P, I dun no about the whole melbourne function, im *under 18* and would feel a little awkward :/ --Deon555|talk|e|Review Me! :D 00:11, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Crimson Sadis
for achival purposes, I, Deon555, will put the date etc here, so the bot can understand, and archive properly. --12:10, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
AfD project
Deon, I created the project :) You'll know me on IRC as Zos. SynergeticMaggot 00:49, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
- Oh ok sorry :) --Deon555|talk|e|Review Me! :D 01:17, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
- Its ok, no need to be sorry. :) SynergeticMaggot 01:23, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
re: Do i know u?
Hey, I think I might know you :) Do you live in Melbourne by any chance? --Deon555|talk|e|Review Me! :D 08:27, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, that's quite likely. Mount Dandenong, Victoria to be specific. You may also know Shan and Cain. If you feel enthusiastic, do add to St. Joseph's College, Melbourne as well :D. See you around. Michael Billington (talk • contribs) 09:26, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
Pholcodine
Thanks for nothing. I made major changes to the page overall if you look at the previous revivsion, and was just testing the different pixel sizes for the picture. Think before you revert please. IQ: 132-145 last time i checked (2003)? I think not. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Javsav (talk • contribs) .
- Ok, sorry. My Bad.

Open proxies
If you know about such things, I would be grateful for a mini tutorial if you have the time. Open proxies can be blocked indefinitely, unlike other IPs, but how do you tell if it is an open proxy? Thanks. Tyrenius 11:29, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
Missed message
I was just archiving some messages on my talk page and realised that I missed your reply about the Melbourne thing. I must have got other new messages at the same time and not noticed yours. Anyway, I had NO idea that you were under 18! I figured you would have been in your early 20s! You seem very mature. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 10:29, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
- OMG totally shocked!!! I had no clue at all! Sarah Ewart (Talk) 01:26, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi Deon555
I recommend a bare minimum of 3000 edits, preferably 5000. At the moment you still come across as too impatient, which is not a good thing. The longer you wait between RfAs the more the community likes it. Restraint is always valued. Wait 3 months after an RfA. How much difference does such a small amount of time matter really.

Our correspondences
Hi Deon,
I saw that you left a lot of messages on my talk page during my RfA. And now, I realize that I even forgot to thank you for the kind words. Thanks buddy. And do keep in touch. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 12:06, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
- Hi Deon,
- Regarding your question, I am not thinking about RfA in near future (=> not in next two months at least). — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 13:08, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
WikiStar thing
Thaaaanks! :D Have a happy nice day! --Steve-o 10:54, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your response
I agree, this is a complex issue and not a typical {{helpme}} . I'm not certain where to turn to for advice in a matter this complex. Thank you for your response - it was greatly appreciated. --Marinus 06:13, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
- I'm an (aspiring) member of the MedCab, so I know what they offer. But this user has dismissed or ignored any attempts at reconciliation and I frankly distrust his good faith, a lot. The latter is the reason I'm afraid of being rash and asking for advice. --Marinus 06:25, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
