Happy New Year, Enigmaman!![]() ![]() Enigmaman, Send New Year cheer by adding {{subst:Happy New Year fireworks}} to user talk pages. Issue with the Ford F-series page.Good morning, Enigmaman. For the last two days, I've been in an edit war with user DorianGrey14 on the F-series page regarding whether or not the 2018 F150 is or is not a new generation.[1] I have posted several sources confirming it will be a member of the 13th generation and NOT a start of a 14th generation, including a post form Ford's official user account on the F150 Forum, but he keeps reverting the changes to incorrect information. Would you please help me with this issue? Thanks, sir.

Feel free to e-mail me and I'll send you my facebook if you'd like to keep in touch. :) · Andonic contact 14:30, 18 May 2017 (UTC) Cheri DiNovoThe issue is in fact older than 2013; a campaign of POV attack edits against her began in 2007, within a matter of months of her being elected to the Ontario Legislature — and as soon as the article was protected, the editor in question started trying to use the talk page to make the same unverifiable allegations that they couldn't get into the article. The problem has been, however, that the user in question has always edited as an anonymous IP rather than a logged-in editor, making it impossible to use editblocks to stop them (we know it's been the same user, because the IP numbers have always resolved to Thailand and the tactics have always been the same.) As you can see if you go further back in the edit history, the talk page also had to be protected in 2009, 2010 and 2011 because of the user's sheer refusal to give up the stick. You can see User:Natalie Erin/Cheri DiNovo vandal if you need additional background on the situation — but the long and the short of it is that I don't see any valid reason to let either the article or the talk page be edited by an anonymous IP ever again. The risk of the attack editor coming back again is simply too high given that they were still persistently at it six years later — page protection is literally the only thing that has ever kept the problem under any control at all.

Speedy deletion instead of AfDHi Enigmaman. I am asking specifically why was the article Erich Reimer given a speedy deletion when there was a clear controversy over notability as well as a high multitude of neutral mainstream media news sources indicating neworthiness and when other similar political figures and commentators have Wikipedia articles? It has also been 9 years since the previous AfD and all recent notability factors are quite recent. PepsiLord19 (talk) 00:42, 10 July 2017 (UTC) Also, regardless, would it be possible to receive the code of the page as it was before deletion? Thank you very much. PepsiLord19 (talk) 00:47, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
Thank you for the update! PepsiLord19 (talk) 01:02, 10 July 2017 (UTC) Is it not patently obvious that PepsiLord19 is Erich Reimer? Is that not itself grounds for deletion? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.54.27.60 (talk) 17:05, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
DoubtHello Enigmaman, i have a question about the Wikipedia:Reviewing pending changes process. "Reviewers do not take responsibility for the correctness of edits they accept. A reviewer only ensures that the changes introduced to the article are broadly acceptable for viewing by a casual reader. The reviewer checks the pending change(s) for an article and can then decide to either accept it, revert it or modify it then later accept it." So, imagine this situation: In a article, an stretch says that a car weighs 235 kilograms, and it is supported by a source. Some editor changes this information to 250 kilograms, and the source says 235 kilograms. So, the pending changes reviewer have to approve the edit because is not vandalism or other inappropriate edit, or the reviewer should not accept the edit because it´s a wrong information?

UpsandDowns1234You seem to be the last admin to run into UpsandDowns1234—can you see any grounds not to indef block him? I hate to go in hard like this, as he's clearly a young child out of his depth rather than someone acting out of malice, but his Wikipedia history as far as I can tell is literally mistake after mistake, and it's becoming a serious time sink—at a rough estimate 50% of everything he does (that isn't messing around in his own userspace or sandboxes) needs to be reverted. Do you want to see if you can talk him down before I show him the door? ‑ Iridescent 20:29, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
Sharing Afd scriptHello ! I want to thank you for entertaining my request and protecting the Page of Abu Dujana (militant). Generally contributor's do not come on protecting admins page to leave a thank note, but as this is a volunteer project I believe we should support and respect each other's hardwork. While my visit to your userpage, I observe that you do your administrators task on Afd manually. I don't know whether you are aware of the userscript for Afd (it will save your valuable time), if you are not aware of the script then this is it - {{subst:iusc|1=User:Evad37/XFDcloser.js}} You can Install the script on your common.js The script will help you in relisting, deleting, keeping etc all in seconds For other extremely useful userscripts please visit here. Once again thankyou, have a lovely day Anoptimistix Let's Talk 08:16, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
Buchalter Page DeletionHello Enigmaman, I created the Buchalter page on Wikipedia and noticed that it was deleted on July 31, 2017. I read the articles for deletion and it appears that the page was deleted due to sources that were not considered "notable." It seems like the main issue for the page was the Accolades/Awards section that listed various "top places to work" awards and sourced these awards to, what was referred to as, "clickbait lists." I would like to suggest reinstating the Buchalter Wikipedia page with the stipulation that the "Awards" section be deleted. I believe the rest of the page should remain as it was since it did not break any of the Wikipedia content policies or guidelines. Thank you. Mhpineda72 (talk) 17:51, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Lee Hye-ri semi-protectionHi Enigmaman. As soon as you semi'ed Lee Hye-ri (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) a ten-edit sock account appeared and started the edit-warring again. The sock made ten edits to their sandbox to gain confirmed status and then added the BLP violation. Please upgrade this to ECP. See also Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Netizentown. Thank you.

Semi-protection on Adolf HitlerMay I ask why you elevated the protection on Adolf Hitler to indefinite semi? Looking at the talk page history, I don't see much (any) evidence of recent vandalism. --causa sui (talk) 16:21, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
sean raggettHi, I get you have protected the page but you might want to consider sorting the team column , the 2016/17 onwards was lincoln city not dover athletic , obviously i cant correct this — Preceding unsigned comment added by Noobkiller13 (talk • contribs) 12:17, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
Re: Your issues with CyberbotI apologize for butting in like this, but I just happened to notice your concerns and would like to provide some input. Cyberbot has been giving you these issues because of this IP. I know because today, the same IP made this edit which made my own edit request for another article look like I was requesting protection for a different article. After checking their edit history, I noticed the IP made the same edits on the day you had your concerns. Is it possible that this IP tried to break the bot? I hope I've helped in some way. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 02:52, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
Unprotected Alcohol JusticeBy refusing to unprotect Alcohol Justice's article, you are denying that the organization is being criticized at all. The "POV-pushing" bologna being used to justify not allowing criticism into the article is no excuse, since not all the criticism is coming from people connected with David Hanson. You can look at Alcohol Justice's Facebook page and see for yourself that a lot of people are criticism the organization. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1002:B119:B1D8:2123:9BC8:67D5:632D (talk) 01:16, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

Erroneously spreading erroneous informationThe school attended by Chris Simms was changed in this edit; the change was not backed by a source and conflicted with the reference already provided in his article. Adding him to a list of notable alumni in the article for Don Bosco Preparatory High School in this edit only passed the error on to another article. This is why *ALL* entries added to such lists *MUST* have a reliable and verifable source to show that there is a connection between the person and the school.

I notified you as you have contributed to Buterin's page. The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bitcoin Magazine until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines. Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Jtbobwaysf (talk) 08:31, 17 September 2017 (UTC) That protection didn't go through. They're still editing.

You said 'Please don't create this again. Thank you, Enigmamsg 22:17, 17 July 2009 (UTC),' and that you 'politely asked,' but it didn't feel that way, rather than one of the most negative things on my talk page, as no reason was given, rather than some implied (demand and) agenda perhaps of deletionism or disliking Goa trance. I've given up editing articles on that (or usually anything else... trying to avoid editing for at least a year, lately, maybe unless I get a message about a science/mathematics or philosophy article) anyway, but am still wondering about that comment, and note, since then, there have been many trance articles that refer to Cosmosis & Laughing Buddha as major trance stars newer ones worked with, though the two associated musicians/groups no longer have articles of their own (did several times in the past.) The point is, perhaps (as later articles seems to show) articles on the two could've been done right, regardless of your unexplained opinion that they shouldn't be... and that, assuming that could be done, I'm still wondering what the reason would be you'd never want those articles to appear again (if they could be done right.)--dchmelik (t|c) 04:58, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

Did you mean to do that? I think semi-protection would probably be a better option there. —MRD2014 Happy Holidays! 02:14, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
