Stealing
Hey I stole your talk page design. Ok with you? =Nichalp  «Talk»=  07:42, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah - go for it! :) --Cel e stianpower hablamé 17:03, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Strange...
I've been reading your userpage and I find it interesting to know that you do/like a lot of the stuff that I do too; for example we're both students, both speak Spanish and French, both use Firefox, both hate the Labour Party, both hate Bush and both like maths! I just find this highly amusing! » Fire Fox T  C   E 16:43, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, not so strange I would say but interesting. I'm bound to meet someone with my interests someday but I diodn't think that it would be on Wikipedia!!! By the way, how do you like my new signature? Consider joining WP:ESP... --Cel e stianpower hablamé 17:03, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * So how long have you done Spanish for then? --Cel e stianpower hablamé 17:07, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Yup, your new signature is very nice. I have been doing Spanish for just over 4 years now, I really enjoy speaking it and I'm (apparently) quite good for my age. What about you? I've looked at WP:ESP and I've signed myself up: I'll have a go :) Fire Fox T  C   E 17:38, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * It's easily preferable to French (I dropped it a year back) and I've been told I'm quite good at it too. I've been told I'll walk an A* ... which is nice.
 * Do you fancy trading spaces? There's a note about it on the WP:ESP page. I think it'd be fun - it's where we redesign totally eachothers userspace, then the person uses that design for a week before reverting back to their original design, if they want. Do you want a go? --Cel e stianpower hablamé 17:55, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah I'm up for it, athough I may have to wait til tommorow to start on yours if that's ok. You can do mine tonight if you want though. Lol, I still do French but I find it much harder and a lot more boring. What year are you in at school? (I've just had to redesign my signature 'cos I've just realised it messes up some of the formatting - grr) Fir  e  Fox  T  C 18:07, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Koolio - I'll start yours now then. I'm in year 11, you? What formatting does it mess up exactly? --Cel e stianpower hablamé 18:15, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm also in yr 11. Well I edited html to make the date small and blue, and it's worked for about a week now, but your comment: "It's easily preferable to French..." has turned blue :( ah well, it needed redesigning anyway - now its got a link to WP:ESP :) Fir  e  Fox  T  C 18:22, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * So what other subjects are you GCSE-ing? Other than English, Maths, Spanish, French and Science, of course. --Cel e stianpower hablamé 18:26, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Well it's triple science, and on top of the above I am doing Italian, Music and ICT. I take my maths GCSE in January - help! ¿Y tú? Fir  e  Fox  T  C 18:30, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Estudio la musica, la informática, la cocina, los artes (muy aburrido), el español, las matematicas, las ciencias (double) y el inglés. Tomé las statisticas en Junio y voy a tomar mis exámenes de matematicas en Noviembre. --Cel e stianpower hablamé 18:38, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * En musica, ¿Qué instrumenta te tocas? --Cel e stianpower hablamé 18:41, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * En música, toco el teclado - ¡no puedo tocar algo más! I'm currently in the middle of my maths coursework (E-totals) - ¡es aburridísimo! Fir  e  Fox  T  C 18:46, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Si no tocas el teclado algo más, ¿Qué sobre sus funcionamientos?
 * E-totals? Estudio differentiation para mis "coursework". --Cel e stianpower hablamé 18:54, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Sorry - I didn't get the last bit: ¿Qué sobre sus funcionamientos? - I'm a bit rusty lol... Yeah, E totals (aka "Magic E") - its our statistics coursework. I'm going off the computer now, I'll leave a message for you tomorrow after school. Fir  e  Fox  T  C 19:00, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Nah - my fault. Qué sobre tus = what about your. I couldn't think of the word for performances so I just google-translated it. I shouldn't do that really. It makes you incomprehencable.
 * Okay then, speak again tomorrow and I will unveil my new design for your userpage! Hasta luegos! --Cel e stianpower hablamé 19:05, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Well I do all my perfomances on keyboard (or using Sibelius on the computer). I'm in music at school atm anyway - can't wait to see my new design! Fir  e  Fox  T  C 10:24, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah - but if you don't play keyboard anymore, how can you?
 * Koolio. But how's my one coming along? --Cel e stianpower hablamé 14:44, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Ah, it seems you misunderstood (probably my fault) When I said "no puedo tocar algo más" I meant "I don't play anything else". Lol I've only just come home from school, I'll get to work on yours right away :) Fir  e  Fox  T  C 16:18, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
 * No, my fault, I thought it meant, "I don't play it any more"!!!! --Cel e stianpower hablamé 17:36, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Fair enough - I should be finished on your page by about 7.00. Fir  e  Fox  T  C 17:40, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Right, I have finished your page and it is ready to post :) - Be prepared for the worst... Fir  e  Fox  T  C 17:58, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Ready to post? 1, 2, 3 ... switch! --Cel e stianpower hablamé 18:03, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Groooooovy lol. You've done a great job! :D Fir  e  Fox  T  C 18:07, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
 * You too! I like it. Just added you to my list of "Wikipedia Users that I hold in high regard"!!! Wait a sec, I'll just dust off a Barnstar for you... :D --Cel e stianpower hablamé 18:10, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Awww thanks! I was just thinking the same thing about the barnstar - one for you too :P Fir  e  Fox  T  C 18:14, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Well that was fun :D I've got a physics test tommorow so I'm off to revise. Talk later, Fir  e  Fox  T  C 18:59, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Spam
My edit was not vandalism, it had a very serious point, take a look at your contributions. You are spamming users with "Come back" messages without even researching your points. While well meaning, it is hardly appreciated. Agriculture 22:31, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Um, 2 people. And I've seen Ta bu an awful lot and never have I had a bad experience. And personally, I believe that every editor who makes positive contributions should stay. And being positive and friendly is one of the most important things to me. I feel that without that, you have bad will and misunderstanding, both of which are bad for any community, not just Wikipedia. Perhaps I was wrong in trying to spread goodness but I beieve not and very little will make me change that view. --Cel e stianpower hablamé 22:37, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Barnstar & Thanks
Thanks for doing such a good job with redesigning my userpage! Fir e  Fox  T  C 18:30, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Smart job
Nice work you two. I found the experience not only fun but also de-stressing, hope you did too. Recommend one of you update the WP:ESP page with the results. Alf melmac 20:16, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for your support on my RfA. At this point it doesn't look so good, but that's okay. If I don't achieve sysophood, that's okay. I'll just keep up the good work and maybe try again later.

¡Hay una problema!
You know the trading spaces thing, well unfortunately IE displays your userpage slightly wrongly at the top - I've tried experimenting but I don't know what the problem is. Maybe you could take a look, presuming you have IE? Fir  e  Fox  T  C 17:21, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah - when I logged on at school today, I saw that. Mighy odd. But I don't have IE at home though. Well, not one that I can use anyway. --Cel e stianpower hablamé 17:24, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I noticed it at school too - Wikipedia looks so different in IE its scary! Well I have IE, so I'll see if I can either fix it or slightly modify the page, if that is ok with you? Fir  e  Fox  T  C 17:26, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Go for it! --Cel e stianpower hablamé 17:27, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
 * All done. I don't know what was wrong but is now at least IE, Firefox and Opera "compatible" :) Why can't you use IE? I thought all Microsoft computers came with one. Fir  e  Fox  T  C 17:42, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah - I have IE, but that doesn't mean to say that it isn't virus-ridden, insecure and slow! --Cel e stianpower hablamé 17:46, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Lol, I use IE very rarely - only when I need to do something FF can't. ¿Cómo estás y cómo fue el día? Fir  e  Fox  T  C 17:49, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Muy bien ahora pero tuvo las clases más abburido en mi horario. Tuvo dos clases de las matematicas, el arte y la education fisica. Detesto los deportes. --Cel e stianpower hablamé 17:57, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Tuvo las matemáticas y la educación física también. Tengo la informática y el español mañana por la mañana - son interesantísimo :D Ho finito el "coursework" de las matemáticas - wooooooooooooooooooooop! Fir  e  Fox  T  C 18:03, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

Welcome message
''Hello. I was about to give you a welcome message but, having looked at your contributions, I decided against it. However, just leave me a note and it's yours! Sorry for wasting your time! :D --Celestianpower hablamé 20:15, 28 September 2005 (UTC)''


 * I don't understand. After you viewed my contributions you decided that I was no longer welcome?--OGRastamon 00:54, 29 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Janke below is right. It was a complement. It would be like giving a picturebook to an artist :D --Celestianpower hablamé 15:08, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Psst. I'll let you in on a secret. You may have noticed that one of the articles I've been contributing to is Irony. This is because there is a 99% chance that any words preceding my signature are infused with sardonic wit to the gills. I appreciate your welcome (or not) and your eloquent praise. Please call on me if you require a bent perspective or my C-average English composition skills. P.S. This may be that 1%. --OGRastamon 05:22, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

¡Hola!
Tengo una pregunta - ¿Qué significa "Wikipedia Namespace Edits"? (and the stuff they talk about on WP:RfA). ¡Hoy, tuve el coursework de el español! Fir e  Fox  T  C 17:27, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Just correcting your grammar (a great way to make friends): de + el => del.
 * Wikipedia namespace edits are edits to pages in the Wikipedia namespace. That is, RfA, AfD, CfD, policy discussions and policy pages, WikiProject edits ...etc... Edits to any page that begins with "Wikipedia:" basically. Their significance is that most of the jobs performed by admins involve a high knowledge of policy and these edits (especially AfD) go a way to saying how knowledgable the user is about policy. A lot of votersb will only vote support on someone who they think will use their admin powers "often".
 * Spanish coursework! You lucky so-and-so. We have to do it all in the exam... --Cel e stianpower hablamé 17:34, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Well spotted, although I must say that I started with "de español" then added "el" and forgot to merge :) Why do you have to do it all in the exam??? We get 3 or 4 pieces of spanish c/w this year! Thanks I understand now - Fir  e  Fox  T  C 17:38, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I have no idea. They must be scared that people just won't bother doing it but in my opinion, that's they're fault - they are the ones who are going to fail! Why do the rest of us have to suffer because of a small minority? Coursework is so much better than exams. And anyway, Marling School is a grammar school: they should have the ethic to do the work in the first place. Does your school have a Wikipedia article?
 * Yeah it does - Maidstone Grammar School - and it's pretty rubbish compared to yours lol... Maybe I should expand it soon. We are a specialised language college after all :D I agree that c/w is better than exams - you're under less pressure etc... Half of our spanish class muck around so much, our teacher wanted to split us up once, and just teach the good kids lol!!! Fir  e  Fox  T  C 17:48, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Sounds like my English class. About 5 of us actually want to learn something and pass our GCSEs out of 25. --Cel e stianpower hablamé 17:53, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * English - don't remind me (puts on BORED face)... I can't stand English, it's so boring and it seems like the hour-long classes take for ever! Have you thought about options for A Level or IB yet? Fir  e  Fox  T  C 17:56, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * IB?
 * A-level. Yes. I'm going to take RE, Spanish and Maths. Then Music or Computing: I havn't decided yet. You? --Cel e stianpower hablamé 18:04, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * IB = International Baccalaureate (I can't believe I spelt it right first time!) Yeah I am thinking of taking double Maths, Biology, ICT and Spanish. Fir  e  Fox  T  C 18:08, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * 5? I wish we were allowed to do 5... Stupid headmaster. I hate him. --Cel e stianpower hablamé 18:21, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * You can only do 4??? Can't you specially request to do 5 or something? Oh I hate our headmaster too - but there is one teacher that is nicer than all the rest :D hehe... Fir  e  Fox  T  C 18:25, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * We can only do 5 if we do 3 in our A2 levels: which is worse in the long run.
 * If we're boasting about teachers, one teacher, Mr. Green, at our school, came in the top 10 in the country for teaching. He's amazing. --Cel e stianpower hablamé 18:27, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah.. well... Miss Gibson is better than any teacher you can EVER imagine :) This "Mr Green" - what is so special about him??? lol Fir  e  Fox  T  C 18:32, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh no. You're not are you? Oh no, I suddenly feel unclean, lol. --Cel e stianpower hablamé 18:40, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Not what??? lol She is a very good teacher :P Fir  e  Fox  T  C 18:43, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Are you sure? Just, the way you italicised "him"... --Cel e stianpower hablamé 18:45, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Meh - am I sure what??? I italicised "him" 'cos... (it's hard to explain) it's as if I was dismissing him in disgust lol. Fir  e  Fox  T  C 18:49, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Just getting the wrong end of the metaphorical stick lol. Never mind. I'm sure she's a great teacher. --Cel e stianpower hablamé 18:52, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah well maybe you were getting the right end of the stick - Are you sure there are no teachers you "like" at your school lol? Fir  e  Fox  T  C 18:53, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Certainly not Mr. Green lol! No, not really. They're all either old or men or both. Yuck - bad images...! --Cel e stianpower hablamé 18:57, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * lol very bad images - well she is young and certainly not a man so it's all good lol. You need to get in some more young female teachers! (I hope this isn't a milestone edit - so embarassing lol) I'll talk to you tommorow or something, as I am off to watch The Bill - how sad of me :P Fir  e  Fox  T  C 19:01, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

Is your name "Celestian" or am I just being silly thinking that? (I hope you don't mind me talking to you everyday - I'll stop if you want :D ) Fir  e  Fox  T  C 16:32, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * That's a ludicrous suggestion. If you really want to know then I'll email you.
 * It's fine. I like seeing that little orage bar accross the top of my screen!!! --Cel e stianpower hablamé 07:56, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Or we could chat on IRC. See WP:IRC for more details. --Cel e stianpower hablamé 10:31, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * The thing is, I have no idea whatsoever how to use the IRC thing, and I can't seem to find any help anywhere! :( Fir  e  Fox  T  C 16:39, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * What you do is go to ChatZilla, click the link at the bottom to Mozilla Update and install the extension. Then click the en.wikipedia link on the WP:IRC page and you're there. It's like a chat room. --Cel e stianpower hablamé 16:47, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Lol yeah, I realised just before you replied :) Fir  e  Fox  T  C 16:50, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Hello Spamlist!
Ah, my first ever spam mass produced and mailed to the spamlist. Well first of all let me re-state that we have an irc channel, #wp-esperanza, and its been rather empty, so I'd appreciate it if you come, even if you just idle about. Now, the evil polls have closed, and I left a justification note for running the evil polls. Nothing has really changed, but at least I have somewhat of a consensus. I hope to figure out a way to overturn my power to JCarriker somehow, I'll figure out a way :-) Meanwhile, I've been busy reforming the mediation system where I am the chairman now, er, acting chairman. Enjoy your spam, with extra vikings. R  e  dwolf24  (talk) 00:35, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

I haven't used Humanbot for a few months now. In fact Greasemonkey 0.5.3 will not install in FireFox 1.5beta which I am currently using, so I can't check it out for you.
