Due to pressing work concerns, I'm currently taking a wikibreak; I have no idea when I'll be able to contribute at full capacity again. Feel free to email me instead, since I'll only check my talk page every now and then.

With regards to Wikipedia, a few things you should know about me: I try to accommodate. I'm sure every personality type is represented here, and surely some people just aren't going to get along. I try to practice common courtesy, with Zen being the popular word to describe it; "Go with the flow". However, even the deepest river has a limit to how much crap it can flow over and still remain calm. But I do my best. I'm not perfect. If I've done something wrong or offended you, please let me know — I most likely didn't even realise what happened! I'm mostly a friendly chap. See WP:AGF and WP:BITE. I try to evoke discussion. I strongly believe in healty, vigorous debate as well as WP:CITE, so additions without motivation can sometimes be viewed under increased scrutiny, especially when I'm on patrol for vandalism. Without proper references and citations, there are times when it can be difficult to tell between fact and targetted vandalism, and then one tends to err on the side of caution. I tend towards inclusionism. There are no storage issues on Wikipedia, but I agree with WP:NOT and Wikipedia:Notability.

Treebark (talk) 02:35, 11 July 2006 (UTC) do you realise that by discussing removing of sites that "spam" wikipedia on this page... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Dewet/spam/safarinow.com you have provided backlinks from wikipedia to these sites? This has even been discussed as a way of getting a link from wikipedia in a webmaster forum!

Dankie vir die feit dat jy Wikipedia 'n meer kleurvolle plek wil maak met jou interessante "font". Dit is wonderlik dat iemand agterkom hoe vervelig een styl vir elke bladsy kan wees. Maar: dit is klein, en soms moeilik om te lees. Ek sou verwag dat mense met oogprobleme sal sukkel om jou gebruikersblad en besprekingsblad te lees. Ek vra net dat u daaroor dink; ek dwing jou nie om iets drasties te doen nie. Dankie! Hello, Dewet. Thanks for the fact that you want to make Wikipedia a more colourful place with your interesting font. It's wonderful that someone realises how boring one style for all pages kan be. However: the font is small, and sometimes difficult to read. I would expect that people with vision problems would struggle to read you user page and talk page. I am only asking you to consider it; I am not forcing you to do something drastic. Thanks! Goldfritter 19:46, 10 April 2007 (UTC) (Ek sal maar, omdat ons op die Engelse Wikipedia is, in Engels kommunikeer...) Thanks for the reply. Sorry for bothering you about this - in the great scheme of things, a font that might give a few people problems is relatively minor... But I am nothing if not persistent. At my screen resolution of 1280 x 1024, the font looks ok, with both IE7 and Firefox. Small Font, however, is only 4-7 pixels high. This is very small. The main problem is perhaps not your font size, but the face. Arial (Wiki's default face) is popular for its readability at most sizes. Your face is prettier and fancier, but a bit more complicated. Look; I don't have much trouble reading your font, and I'm sure most people who can comfortavly use a PC will have as little trouble. It's just for those unfortunate few, those with vision problems, that I am a bit concerned. Heck, I'd leave it as is - it looks cool! But not everyone would agree with me. Thanks for your time and patience! (Dankie!) Goldfritter 18:18, 12 April 2007 (UTC) Signpost updated for April 16th, 2007.
