[edit] Huh?

Hey Cel, did you hear the news? They gotta be kiddin' me. JackLumber. 19:37, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bureaucratship

Celestianpower, you are an amazing user. You have over 8000 edits, you were once the leader of the most influential organizations in Wikipedia, you are a role model to me and many others and you have never abused your admin tools. I noticed that your previous bur. nomination failed a few months ago. I think you ought to give it another go. The reason I am not nominating you myself is because bur. nominations are generally self-nominations. I really think you should go for it again. No pressure, or anything, but I think you would garner a lot of support. Think about it. You should give it a go! Best Wishes, Viva La Vie Boheme.

[edit] 10 Page

I tried the 10 page test, and I think it is interesting that I got the same results as you! Funny, huh? Viva La Vie Boheme 01:17, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Flower power!
Request for Adminship
Thank you for contributing to my my request for adminship. Although I wasn't promoted to admin status, with a withdrawn vote count of 14/27/14, I am very happy with the response I received from my fellow Wikipedians. I was pleasantly suprised at the support, and was touched by it. I will also work harder on preventing disputes and keeping cool under stress. Hopefully I will re-apply soon and try again for the mop. Thanks again, Highway Return to Oz... 13:33, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] week 10 intro

Your latest edit still implies that the HMs knew in advance that as part of the best friends task they would be nominating jointly. This is caused by the long single sentence and use of the word "and". My edit at least made it clear that the nomination twist came as a surprise to the HMs - the current version does not leaky_caldron 14:41, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Makuhita

It's reached GA, can you give us a new focus. *slides picture of Magmar under keyboard* Hmm. ;) Highway Return to Oz... 07:39, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Can I update, you didn't seem to get around to it, but I didn't want to tread on your feet. Cheers, Highway Return to Oz... 20:37, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RfA

Thanks for your support, it means a lot to me! I'll let the RfA run its natural course to gleam any other advice, but may not be able to apply again anytime soon due to work commitments.

You deserve this for all the work you do in the Wikipedia community, your contributions to the encyclopedia, and most of all for being a good friend.

[edit] Blocking laughs

I wanted to be the blocker cracked me up. Though if it's not supposed to be funny, I'll just pretend I was silent. :) It does seem like the account might be hacked; certainly strange either way. Nice logo on your front page, by the way! -- Natalya 21:42, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletions

I know they're not standard speedy candidates. That's why I posted at WP:AN. Could you change to a {{hangon}} so we can get some more discussion? The editor formerly known as Harmonica Wolfowitz 21:27, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WIkipedia:Esperanza/User Page Award

Celestianpower, thanks for signing up for the Esperanza User Page Contest. The judges have received the fifteen entries, and are ready to start judging. The judges will take a week to complete the judging process, and they will contact all the participants when the judging is done.


Please drop by the contest page for contest updates and questions. Take care, and good luck! May the Force be with you! Shreshth91($ |-| ŗ 3 $ |-| ţ |-|) 08:13, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] UPA

Celestianpower,

Congragulations! I have selected your page as a finalist in the Esperanza User Page Award. Over the next few days, all five judges will be judging each page. The results will be announced as soon as they are in.

Best of luck, Viva La Vie Boheme!

[edit] August Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: To-Do List
The Esperanza To-Do List is a place where you may list any request, big or small, for assistance. If you need help with archiving your usertalk, for example, all you need to do is list it here and somebody will help you out. Likewise, if you need help with some area of editing on Wikipedia, list it here! Again, any matter, trivial or not, can be placed on this page. However, all matters listed on this page must not be of an argumentative nature. You do not need to be a member of Esperanza (or this program) to place or fulfill requests on this page. If you don't have any requests, consider coming by and fulfilling a few! This program has not been very active, but has lots of potential!
What's New?
In order to help proposed programs become specific enough to make into full-fledged programs, the In development section of the proposals page has been created. Proposals that are promising, but need to be organized in more detail are listed here. Please take a look at what is there, and help the proposals turn into programs.
To improve both the layout and text of the front page, in an attempt to clarify the image of Esperanza, the front page is going to have some redesigning take place. Please take your creative minds to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Front page redesign to brainstorm good ideas.
Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.
  1. In order to make sure all users who join Esperanza are welcomed, a list of volunteers who are willing to welcome new Esperanzians is at Wikipedia:Esperanza/Members#Esperanza_welcomers. Please add yourself if you are interested; we want to make sure all new Esperanza members are welcomed!
  2. The In development section of the proposals page has been created.
  3. Proposals page: Some proposals have been moved to the aforementioned "In development" section, some have been left as a proposal, and others have been archived. For those proposals that were a good idea but didn't necessarily constitute a program, General Esperanzial Actions has been created.
  4. Two small pieces of charter reform will be decided on in a straw poll at Wikipedia talk:Esperanza/Governance. One involves filling the position of any councillors who may leave, the other involves reforming the charter.
  5. Until cooperation with the Kindness Campaign is better defined, it remains as a proposed program.
  6. There is a page for discussing the front page redesign.
Signed...

Although having the newsletter appear on everyone's userpage is desired, this may not be ideal for everyone. If, in the future, you wish to receive a link to the newsletter, rather than the newsletter itself, you may add yourself to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Newsletter/Opt Out List.

[edit] Wikipedia:Featured article review/Bulbasaur

I appreciate all the effort you're putting into the Bulbasaur article. You're being very patient and helpful with all our criticism. I think there's a good chance the criticisms will eventually be addressed, and the article will be unquestionably a Featured Article, and you will deserve much of the credit for that. --P3d0 11:19, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Block from Editing Please

A repeat vandal of Rubix_Groove, please block from editing user User:Rdrumgroove2002 and his IP address User:69.26.223.78 from editing for a while. I'm getting tired of reverting. Please take action ASAP. Thanks! Chad --> Eclectek 22:35, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for catching…

… some of the things that I had missed on the Cross-platform article. I certainly did not intend to have POV in there, and I am glad that it was caught, because I did not catch it. I see that you are a relatively busy person.  :-) Again, thanks! —Mike Trausch (fd0man, Talk Page) 06:08, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations {{PAGENAME}} on Your success in the General Certificate of Secondary Education test, which is the name of a set of British qualifications, taken by secondary school students at age 14-16 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland (in Scotland, the equivalent is the Standard Grade). *joke* :p Enjoy wiseguy, feydey 12:03, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

My goodness!!! That's fantastic, well done CP! Though, I think you're too smart for the AC, we may just have to kick you off so that your amazing brain doesn't overpower the rest of us. ;) -- Natalya 14:28, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
Well done!--Lucy-marie 21:58, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

Although the account I am editing under is relatively new, I've been editing Wikipedia for several years and have an overall edit count nearing 10,000. I would like to become an administrator within the next six months, but I feel the best avenue would involve... guidance from a user well-integrated in the general community. Would you consider acting as a sort of wiki-mentor? Abc def 04:26, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
