If you are referring to "Habe mir die Spoilerhinweise in der englischen 
Wikipedia angeschaut und empfinde Sie als Zusatzinformation. So weiß ich 
am Anfang ob im Text eine eventuelle spannungsvolle Handlung aufgedeckt 
wird oder nicht. -- Carl Steinbeißer 17:01, 8. Mai 2006 (CEST)" it 
loosely translates as:

"[I] have looked at the spoiler signs in the English Wikipedia and I 
consider them an additional information. Thanks to them I know from the 
beginning that this text might reveal some [spannungsvoll is not even a 
word, I think he is referring to "spannend" = exciting] plot or not."

original language.
