Box Fix Need

• You're a wiz with HTML... Got the same handle on WikiP's version? I'd like to park this over under the archives table, on the right side... user talk:fabartus#BoxFixNeed I can't seem to find the secret on text boxes for keeping them to the right. You can delete the temporary heading with my blessings!

Thanks, FrankB 22:31, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

I've moved it to the right under your archives, but I can't find a way to slot it directly below, if that's what you wanted. Hope I helped, Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 22:41, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Noted.

I note that you've apologised to the community. We all went wrong in our own way, we all can learn from our mistakes and do better. I'm glad you've realised this too. — nathanrdotcom ^{(Got something to say? Say it.)} 19:00, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #3

Administrator Coaching The Administrator Coaching program is a program aimed at preparing Wikipedians for Adminship or helping them understand the intricacies of Wikipedia better. Recently, changes have been made to the requirements of coachees. Please review them before requesting this service. This would be something like the Welcoming Committee, but for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. Some might like suggestions about how to learn vandal patrol, or mentoring on taking an article to featured status, or guidance with a proposal they plan to make at the Village Pump, for example. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins. Stressbusters The Stressbusters are a subset of Esperanza aiming to investigate the causes of stress. New eyes on the situation are always welcome! Note from the editor As always, MiszaBot handled this delivery. Thank you! Also, congratulations go to Pschemp, Titoxd and Freakofnurture for being elected in the last elections! An Esperanzial May to all of the readership!

The last AC meeting (full log) Posting logs of the Esperanza IRC channel are explicitly banned anywhere. Violation of this rule results in deletion and a ban from the channel. A disclaimer is going to be added to the Esperanza main page. We are humans and, as such, are imperfect. Various revisions have been made to the Code of Conduct. Please see them, as the proposal is ready to be ratified by the community and enacted. All members will members to have to re-confirm their membership after accepting the Code of Conduct. Referendums are to be held on whether terms of AC members should be lengthened and whether we should abolish votes full stop. Admin Coaching reform is agreed upon. Signed...

irc and such

My 'puter seems to be throwing a hissy fit.. back soon. --Fang Aili ^說嗎? 18:36, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Hey Celestian, reporting from the library. I can't find Messad (or Messaad) on any of the Algeria maps I found at the library. There is a town called "Hassi Messaoud" but its population is under 10K. According to the atlas I'm looking at, Hassi Messaoud is near Ouargla.

For some reason I'm really determined to get to the bottom of this. --Fang Aili ^說嗎? 19:51, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

No idea.. after some Googling I believe that Messad and Hassi Messaoud are two different places, but that still doesn't explain why I can't find it on the dang map. --Fang Aili ^說嗎? 20:00, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm in, I'm out box

Hey Cel. I'm just curious as to how the "I'm in" box on your user and talk pages works. Do you manually have to go into your page each time you change the box or is there some other way that it's programed to change? If so, could you let me know how it works? Thanks! → J@red  01:56, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

It's kitsch. :P I need to go a hunting for pictures for somewhere for that to go. Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 20:10, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Can you see the Zbtb7 debate at Talk:Pokémon, someone is preaching about consensus. Thanks, Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 20:52, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

We have a serious problem. Good luck, Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 06:57, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Never get talk pages anymore.

Hah, made you a liar. Regards, -JCarriker 11:32, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

RfA Thank You!

Thanks CP,

I am honored by your support in my recent successful request for adminship. As an administrator, I am your servant, ready to help however I can. (In your case, since you've had the tools longer than I, my best use might be menial labor!) My talk page is always open; should you need anything, or should you see me making a mistake -- probably a common occurrence -- please do let me know. I will depend on the good sense of the community to keep me from making a complete fool of myself! :) In gratitude, Xoloz 15:40, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

PS. I'm so sorry you were insulted for your style of supporting. I've always found it quite cute myself, and seeing on my own RfA made the experience extra special! :)

regarding WP:BEANS

Hi, CP. You quite rightly pointed out the WP:BEANS guideline at my RfA. It's always struck me, however, that the principle behind WP:BEANS should mean that it is never cited, since it, too, by advising people not to do something might infact inspire the foolish to do what it advises against. I thought you might enjoy the irony, but didn't want to clutter up my RfA with anymore silliness. :-) Bucketsofg✐ 19:26, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

LOL. Now, that's funny. Bucketsofg✐ 20:26, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Bon chance!

Good luck with your upcoming exams! I can imagine what you'll be going through for the next month (I'll be going through similar stuff), and I wish you the best of luck. — FireFox (U T C) 19:58, 19 May '06

Revise

Revise you, or you'll fail... okay you won't get 100%. You need something 16% to get a 5 in math exams. Meh. Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 07:46, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Very impressive. I'm good at maths, but better at English, apparently I could the credit exam right now. Alas no such luck in the system. Good luck, Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 07:57, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Esperanza

I would like to join this, if possible. I noticed that your society is against personal attacks of people. I feel the same way too. When one is attacked personally, it is impossible for one to respond, as to do so one would breach Wikipedian rules. Then, one unfortunately loses the argument immediately due to non contest. Wallie 08:02, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Which list? The main one? Do I have to go before any membership committee? Wallie 08:21, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

OK. I did it. Where's my free beer? Wallie 08:33, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

OK. Thank you very much. Wallie 08:46, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
