Hello there. Not sure if this is a permanent visit or not. Doubt it. Scarian^{Call me Pat!} 21:18, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bah. Prot. please? Scarian^{Call me Pat!} 20:35, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have a small amount to annoy you with: [1] This fellow needs a genre warring warning. I have forgotten the template name. This guy, too. Some of their edits aren't so bad but the majority are just PoV. I've added them to UV's page. Thanks, man. Scarian^{Call me Pat!} 09:54, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

{{uw-genre1}}, 2, 3 and 4 work. They're linked in Twinkle as well, the very bottom option under Warning reason, "Frequent or mass changes to genres without consensus or references". --King Öomie 17:11, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And the second IP Scarian linked is a sock of the guy you blocked a few months back, E-man, the guy who had a mad-on for removing post-grunge from the universe. --King Öomie 17:14, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'll take care of it. Enigma^msg 14:43, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, I don't even use any programmes any more. But thanks and thanks, guys. Scarian^{Call me Pat!} 08:30, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I acknowledge that it was wrong and inappropriate of me to open an enforcement right after, [2] --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 18:10, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Part of the battleground mentality applies not only to article editing, but also to filing AEs constantly. Enigma^msg 23:15, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

An article that you have been involved in editing, E-mail Surveillance has been nominated for a good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments good article reassessment page . If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status will be removed from the article. Fences&Windows 17:45, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm gonna respond here so not to bother NW any more.

Both the AE and ANI thread happened half a year ago, I cant remember everything that happened there, but what was said there doesn't contradict that when I read JJGs comments I didn't think his name was an issue for him. The information I sent back then was about the other user Eric1985 and had nothing to do with Jiujitsuguy and the circumstances and information was not the same either, I only saw JJGs comments afterwards. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 06:23, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Both of those threads, among others you were aware of, talk about the outing issue. Additionally, you referenced the article at least one other time, not linking to it, presumably because you knew it would be considered outing. The same for Nableezy. How am I supposed to believe now that you and Nableezy both "innocently" linked to it, considering your respective pasts? Enigma^msg 08:12, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know exactly what Nableezy sent Tariqabjotu, (there are several things), the information I sent about Eric1985 was nothing like the articles I am aware of by and related to JJG, this was very personal information that contrary to JJG, Eric wasn't revealing to the public. So this was clearly not the same thing. I only afterwards saw these several things written by JJG, I had not seen anything of this before, and I saw it as that his name was no issue for him. I can not remember what people where discussing half a year ago about their personal interpretation about what is or what is not "outing", I'm only talking about how I saw it when I saw what he had written. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 11:17, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Data removed contained crime information that has no bearing on technical details, history, or development of the Mini-14 rifle. Thus this is a legitmate edit and is no way disruptive unless you are anti- Second Amendment. Leave the edit alone. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.150.239.200 (talk) 03:24, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I did not make whatever edit you're referring to. [3] You're probably looking for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:E2eamon Enigma^msg 04:13, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies then. The notice popped up within seconds of the edit I put in on the Mini-14 article. Curious. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.150.239.200 (talk) 23:40, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Enigmaman. I would like you to settle a problem about the Wiki project of Western Sahara. The founder of this project (User:Koavf) claims publicly that he's a pro-SADR (Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic) and anti-Morocco. He also says, since he's the founder, that he owns the project and has the right to write anything he wants in it. That's why the project holds the flag of the SADR. But the UN states that Western Sahara is a territory under dispute and therefore UN does not recognize any sovereignty (either Moroccan or Sahrawi) on this territory. So, there must be no flag for the project or at least the flag of the UN. The presence of the flag of the SADR as the one of Western Sahara is complete non-neutrality. Would you like please to settle this? I would be most greatful if you could do something. Thanking you in advance. Moroccan Sahara (talk) 13:58, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm not sure why you chose me, because I don't often edit anymore. At this point in my life, other activities have taken priority over Wikipedia, and I can no longer devote much time to editing or reading over disputes. Enigma^msg 21:31, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dear administrator,

I am not really sure if you are in fact an administrator at AE or not, but I am posting this message anyway since I found your name among the decision-making administrators in AE cases. If it's not too much to ask, could you please review the AE case on MarshallBagramyan? The whole case is based on an imposed indefinite restriction for not labeling authors any names or dismissing them based on their nationality, place of birth or publication, ethnic group, religion or similar general characteristic (and the report clearly said “This restriction is to be enforced by blocks or other discretionary sanctions”) and violation of another topic ban earlier in 2010 when the user violated his ban twice and went unnoticed? The reported user MB has taken this report out of context by posting long blocks of replies which had already wrote last time he was reported and diverting the attention of the readers and administrator away from the subject which is an imposed ban and his violation of it. All I am asking is for administrators to take action on the violation of restriction for fair and just decision. Angel670 talk 17:37, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I can't help with this issue. Enigma^msg 02:25, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Enigmaman. At Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement#Result concerning Supreme Deliciousness you indicated that 'this will continue to come up unless something is done'. This thread has got so old that I was thinking it is time to close it. Would you like to make a more specific proposal? I do not have any strong opinion myself, but I tend to support closing without sanctions if those presenting the arguments don't have a coherent case which is easy to follow. SD's behavior may be a bit unusual, but he would not be the first person to deserve that adjective to work on I/P articles. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 04:57, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am in agreement with the implemented remedy. Enigma^msg 02:25, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Enigmaman, I was wondering if someone sent you a message of wiki to go to the enforcement? I also left you a response:[4] --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 06:41, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, no one sent me a message of wiki. Sorry, I've been off wikipedia for several days. More pressing issues to deal with. Enigma^msg 02:25, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just come back on Wikipedia and it says I have been caught for vandalism or something? and what makes it even more strange is that it was issued in June 2008? What the hell? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.102.20.22 (talk) 16:46, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Someone using your IP in June 2008 vandalized someone's talk page twice. Enigma^msg 17:33, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No problem - happens a lot lately, there's been a some kind of change of infobox syntax. I've visited the article before, so I knew there was a picture there... GregorB (talk) 21:57, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello sir, You deleted an article named 'Warfaze' which was about a renowned heavy metal band of Bangladesh. It is one of the most popular bands of all time in Bangladesh since 1984. There should be an article in wikipedia about them. Please help us to recreate it. regards, Siyam Potasiyam (talk) 12:59, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Engigmaman, I am Gina and I am the author of the article I wrote about Pezhham Akhavass. You deleted my page and removed it for no good reason. Pezhham is an amazing artist and the page was about his work in developing the instrument tombak and being one of the virtuoso musicians of his generation. In fact he was part of the Masters of Persian Music Tour of US as featured at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masters_of_Persian_Music and the links were about the musicians he has worked with that all have pages on wikipedia and the discography and talked about his life work. WHY did you delete this page? You have have emailed me and told me what is wrong with it, I am not an expert on wikipedia, but I am very angry and feel its totally unfair that you removed my page for no reason. There were links to media and to other sources prooving every point. you are abusing your power. Please put my page back immediately or tell me what it needs. Instead of deleting people's work, you should have better communication skills to resolve whatever issue you have. Thats so not cool. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Desertgypsy (talk • contribs) 02:50, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously there was a reason and being rude about it is not going to help your cause, unless your goal is to be blocked. Enigma^msg 16:14, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, I did not delete it. I merely deleted this. Enigma^msg 16:19, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
