User talk:Enigmaman

If you leave a message here, I'll reply here. The same applies to you. If I leave a message on your page, I keep it watchlisted and I'll see when you reply.

That was quick

Well, that was pretty quick, removing my message because it was a "personal attack" but I don't know how else to say that the user was wrong and that I don't appreciate it. I come to wikipedia every day and it seems to me like I'm being targeted and harassed now.

You don't know how else to say someone is wrong other than calling them a "horrible person" multiple times? Really? Enigma ^message 07:43, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Are you belittling me?

I'm asking you a question. Enigma ^message 07:46, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

You don't even know the situation. I don't know who that person is. Just someone who sits online all day and goes around deleting important information. I don't see how anything I did is wrong at all. How ELSE can I get this fixed? Emailing an admin? So you people have no power at all except deletion? How does this work? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lexhatesyou (talk • contribs) 07:48, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

The first step would be leaving a polite comment on the user's talk page, asking why what you contributed was deleted. If the user does not reply to your satisfaction, there are other steps that can be taken after that. Enigma ^message 07:50, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Ok. I sent him a nice message, did you see it Enigmaman? What did you think of that nice message? Lexhatesyou (talk) 07:58, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

RFA

So as I was investigating you to offer a nom for RFA, I saw User:Enigmaman/RFAurges. I'd vote for you now, and I think you'd be a sure-fire pass in say 2 weeks if you could create some stuff from WP:Requested Articles. Good luck though when you decide to run. MBisanz ^talk 03:47, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

I appreciate the advice. I did a lot of work tonight on United States-Australia relations and I will heed what you said about Requested Articles. I once considered going through the backlog there, but it seemed like a daunting task. I'll try and pick out one or two over the weekend. Thanks again, Enigma ^message 03:52, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

One more comment: I'm really humbled by all the kind comments that have been left here recently. I just hope that I can make my contributions as good as the compliments I've received. That would truly be something to strive for. Enigma ^message 04:39, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Help requested

Hello! I'm unfamiliar with your opinion of me beyond your recent disagreement with some comments that I made at User talk:Hammersoft‎, but I'm hoping that you can be of assistance. Per Hammersoft‎'s wishes, I have no intention of continuing to post there. I am, however, very disappointed in my failure to amicably resolve the dispute. I'm also uncomfortable with the last few edits (in which my repeated attempts to honor his requests and sincere expression of disappointment and optimism for productive teamwork in the future led to me being reverted as a vandal). As you appear to be on good terms with Hammersoft‎, I’d sincerely appreciate any efforts on your part to aid us in mending this rift. The easiest thing would be to simply move on, but I don't want to leave things like this. No matter how strongly Hammersoft and I disagree with one another, I realize that we're here for the same reason (to build an encyclopedia), as I'm certain that you are as well. It's through mutual respect and co-operation (not anger and resentment) that we work toward this goal. Thanks in advance for any help that you're able to provide. —David Levy 22:26, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Hammersoft and me? Well, we understand each other. I'm not sure how much help I can be in this conflict, but I'll try to do what I can. Nice job archiving your talk page, by the way. I was waiting for that! Enigma ^msg 01:33, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

The confrontation you had with Hammersoft is not unusual. Forgive me for being blunt, but it's simply a case of two very stubborn people coming into conflict, and then being unable to resolve it due to sheer stubbornness. He says that you mistreated Ryan and caused him to leave. You admit that what you said probably had something to do with Ryan leaving, but refuse to admit that you mistreated him, and thus won't apologize. Listen, I've been the same way sometimes. I hate when someone insists I apologize for something when I don't feel that I did anything wrong.

You must understand that whether you did something wrong or not is immaterial to this conflict. He's not going to bury the proverbial hatchet until you apologize. You don't want to. He isn't interested in continuing the discourse if you don't want to.

My advice to you would be to leave Ryan a message stating that you did not intend to insult him in any way or to hurt his feelings, and that your comments were meant in good faith. Additionally, express in your own words the desire that he come back to the project. Don't let a disagreement over something silly like April Fools Day turn him away from Wikipedia.

I'd love to assist in the matter, but really a third party can do absolutely nothing unless the involved parties are willing to be flexible.

Regards, Enigma ^message Review 02:52, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks very much for your thoughtful advice! I've done my best to write an appropriate message on Ryan's talk page. I truly hope that it helps. —David Levy 06:02, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Good job, by the way. Just saw your message. Enigma ^message Review 13:07, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Cabals

Hi, could you possibly clarify what you meant by "so much injustice will happen without remedy"? Thanks. :) Keilana|^{Parlez ici} 06:22, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

You really want my opinion? I won't ever deny people the right to hear my opinion. :)

OK, here we go:

• I found your administrative actions in this case to be completely unacceptable, and as such, I cannot sit idly by.

• I cannot tolerate the ridiculous hypocrisy here. I read through the arguments at AN/I and the hypocrisy was astounding. Two of the recurring arguments was that anything that isn't related to improving the encyclopedia should be gone, and that the "cabals" were too exclusive. Applying that criteria, I could find you many more cabals to delete. Will you Ignore All Rules and delete those? I didn't think so. There is zero consistency here, and apparently it's going to be tolerated without remedy, judging from the highly unproductive RfC.

There you have it. Not that my opinion could possibly matter, but you wanted an explanation. Good night, Enigma ^msg 06:29, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your clarification. I of course respect your opinion, thank you for being open and honest. Just by the way, I would support an RfA from you in the next month-2 months, you're on the right track. :) Keep up the good work. Best, Keilana|^{Parlez ici} 06:34, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

That was rather unexpected, but I appreciate the kind remarks, regardless of our differences. Enigma ^msg 06:36, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Opinions such as this have little bearing on your suitability to be a great admin, if you want another voice to chime in with a co-nom please do give me a poke. :) Best, Keilana|^{Parlez ici} 06:38, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Too many strong opinions can lead to excessive WP:WHEEL-warring. :o Just kidding. I think. I appreciate the offer, and I will keep it in mind. I wasn't familiar with your work in the past, but your ability to separate rather strong opinions in certain places from the user in question is very admirable and you should be commended for this. Enigma ^msg 06:43, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, and happy editing. (I just assume we all want what's best for the project, and work from there. It usually turns out OK.) Keilana|^{Parlez ici} 06:49, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

As long as I could be sure you would not have attempted to enforce your opinion re the cabal deletions with admin powers after the original deletion, I too would also support an RfA - in general I'm quite impressed. Orderinchaos 07:30, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I was just joking about that. I can assure you that I would never wheel-war. Trying to work it out with the admin in question is always the better option. Thanks for the kind words, Enigma ^msg 09:13, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

No worries. :) Orderinchaos 10:00, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Clarification

By that I meant that accounts can do extra things like administration, voting in the RFA, ect. IP's can't do that. It wasn't to be mean BTW.--RyRy5 ^{Got something to say?} 23:00, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes, registered users can do more things, but that doesn't make them more important. Same with admins. They have the ability to do more things, but they aren't "more important" than any user in good standing. Enigma ^msg 23:05, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the thought. For the last two years or so I work as an IP and usually see anything from bad faith assumption to open hostility. It's rare that someone acknowledges that IPs can be editors too.

(I wonder where RyRy5 would answer this if he would want to. Here? On my /Talk?) --87.189.114.149 (talk)

I rephrased it wrong. Sorry.--RyRy5 ^{Got something to say?} 23:11, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I have explained each time, in detail, why I made the revert. Sesshomaru does not actually have any experience with the Japanese alphabet and especially Romanization, which is why I've done this each time, and he keeps reverting it to be a rules-lawyer about edit summaries.

Now, I can't believe the rudeness from individuals who claim to be genuine editors on Wiki. I had no idea how hard it is to deal with under 20s on here. The whole concept of Wiki has left me speechless. These two fellas, User:Fair Deal is not what I would call a professional editor. Unappropriate messages sent by him. His page has little to add to the imagination. I find this user to be close to offensive to be an editor User:Fair Deal I find it uncomfortable, his language and attitude online. Another would be User:Indopug. I just am not encouraged from what I am seeing from these two pranksters.

I just wanted to bring this to your attention as I have seen there past mischief the last few weeks/months. I thought adding a contribution complemented the articles? According to these two, they have no interest in it. A great improvement is all that is needed, so I turn to you.

Sincerely, Electric Japan (talk) 03:59, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

What specifically is the problem? If you feel harassed by either of them, I would suggest you do your best to ignore them. What contributions of yours are being impeded? Please link me to what the problem is, and I'll see if I can assist you. A general posting about how you don't like two editors... not much I can do just based on that. Enigma ^message 04:15, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Jack Pierce (make-up artist) is the first one that has been tampered with without cause. I truly thought that Wiki was to draw people wanting to get informative information on a topic/article. It just seems to been drawing troublesome curiosity-seekers who just tamper with an edit. As I have mentioned, these two pranksters. Have you seen the one's personal page? That is an editor? Sounds like someone is having anger issues with himself. This is unappropriate to read and then see what kind of damage can be done by this. They bring no positive reinforcment to me with that kind of vicious editing. I don't think I have anything to prove now to you now, because I've shown you, I guess. Positive words and help is all I need. I could add 2 more to the matter, I've given up on it. Glenn Strange was tampered by another fella. The Alice Cooper Wiki fiasco is over and out. I give up on it. Disappointed with this. I could do 1000 times better than their needless tampering without just cause. Electric Japan (talk) 04:55, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

I will review the articles in question and see if I can help you. I'm going to sleep soon, so I'll let you know tomorrow. Sorry for the delay. Enigma ^message 05:05, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Wikipedia:Civility

I deeply appreciate your need with help in matters of this nature. We both live in diffrent parts of this world, so I understand the hour now.

I know Wikipedia isn't about bring discouragement to contributors. Taking away pranksters is an important issue.

I really thought adding up-to-date relevant information was going to accentuate the article in question. Especially, the Alice Cooper one. I had explained in many reasonable ways why it is useful for informatiion. I got a few messages from them that were wiped away too. All of the complaints that were on their pages vanished mysteriously after having words with me. I have never taken away someone's text. Why start a fire about it. I only contribute properly with accentuating it. Editors? This is only bringing down the quality of information by doing so. Lacking quality on Wiki will only destroy its image on the worldwide web.

Maturity is a matter that should be brought forward on Wikipedia.

I apppreciate you reading this me. This was the instigator to more issues from those two. I have since given up on contributing on the article. Ridiculous having to deal with this on here.

Alice Cooper in the Pacific Region: I can't believe that it has come to this. Someone has an angry point of view on the subject of Alice Cooper. I have to grit my teeth when it comes to having to even type this out. Making a uproar about music isn't my cup of tea. What’s the proper way to deal with information on Wikipedia when it is true? I really can't understand the issue here when I see no dIffrence from the other information already posted. I understand this is somebody with an opinion who has taken it too seriously when it comes to Alice Cooper. I call it nit-picking. I have not once discarded anyone's text. I have only complemented it with additional grammar that fits the article. I thought Cooper's career would want to be covered in every aspect on Wikipedia? I kinda got that impression when I had read all the details already covered in the article. I thought I would add some additional information that was relevant to the article. Ever since that day it has been deleted repeatedly. I can't possibly think of a good reason to make a fuss over music. Remember, I never deleated anything about the article in question. This is about self-publishing, and about the truth on the subject. I find it funny that when it comes to music on Wikipedia, its all about criticism on what to add. Arguing about music is beyond embarrassing. Childish. I am almost 50 years old and have no time to play a game about somebody's prefrences. I don't think I have anything to prove about this now. I certainly think that adding more relevant information about the topic is only accentuating the article more. What is the diffrence between my text and the text that was already there. Absoloutely nothing, except that mine is about the Pacific region. I will say that its greatly improved when there is an additional inclusion of information about the subect. Up-to-date and revised without no faulty information is all I did. What is wrong with that? How can I reinforce that anymore?

This is what was eliminated from one of your Wiki editors. No communication was returned to me following that, except I then got a message sent to me about Practle Joke? This without an explanation or anything.

How mature is that?

I am sorry, I brought this to you. I had nobody to turn to that is respectable.

Sincerely, Electric Japan (talk) 05:42, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I don't think I can help you with this. The material you added to Alice Cooper qualifies as fancruft. I wish I could explain better the difference between fancruft and legitimate additions, but it's really not my area. I'm going to see if I can find someone who may be able to help you more than I. Enigma ^message 20:48, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

WP:HAU

I've been thinking about a ways to manage who is in the table and who shouldn't be. Questions have been brought up regarding some users, such as RyRy5 and Gurch, as to whether they belong in the table. I had a couple of ideas, but each has its flaws. First was to put together a committee to determine who can be in the table, but that seems way too cabalish. The second was to nail down some definitive requirements, but this may make HAU look like a clique. Other than those two, I guess the only alternative is to let anybody add themselves. I !vote that we put together some concrete requirements. Otherwise, the list could potentially become extremely long and hard to manage and the person seeking help may end up asking someone who won't check their talk page for days. The difficult part would be nailing down those exact criteria. I mean, we could ramp up the number of monthly edits to 700 or make adminship a requirement, or make e-mail availability required, I don't know. If you have any ideas, that'd be great. Useight (talk) 22:26, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Let's go ahead and take this to the HAU talk page and discuss the requirements there. The more input we can get from people the better. Useight (talk) 22:30, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

:D Great answer to Q#8 by the way! Tiptoety ^talk 18:51, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

I didn't really want to go into it, but I guess I should be glad I did. By the way, with Q 4, I didn't mean to imply I would never block if more than 2 editors were edit warring. Whenever there's edit-warring going on, it's an administrator's responsibility to investigate and see whether block(s) are appropriate. I just meant that I think more than two edit-warring is a sign of it being more of a widespread problem, which would merit full protection of at least a few hours to force the involved editors to discuss the issue. Enigma ^message 19:04, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey Enigma. I don't mean to beat a dead horse with this issue, but I was wondering if you would mind commenting on Irpen's oppose... My support criteria certainly doesn't require having a perfect track record, but there are some concerning diffs in there among the non-worrying ones. I already !supported, but would feel better if you could put my mind at ease here. Thanks man - Tan | 39 20:19, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't know if there's much I can say at the RfA. I strongly disagree with irpen's assessment, but I think replying to that oppose will be a net negative. Enigma ^message 20:36, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Rfa is never a good reason to leave Wikipedia. If you're RfA fails, do you promise that you'll stick around? Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 01:03, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Absolutely I'll stick around. Believe me, I know the abuse the RfA process involves. I knew it going in, although it has been even more wearing than I anticipated. After a few hours, I was ready for it to be over. I do my best to adopt Malleus's attitude regarding RfAs. I admired what he said about his position with regards to his RfA. Forgive me if I take a wikibreak, though, when this is over. :) I'm not very optimistic right now, but successful or not, it doesn't change why I'm on Wikipedia. Enigma ^message 01:09, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Excellenet response. I've been watching your RfA, and obviously based on our interactions, I'm a supporter of yours. But some editors seem to thrive on the challenge of "finding" something to opppose. Dont' take it personally. You're a great editor, and an asset to Wikipedia. Some people just like opposing RfA candidats, period. I'm 90% sure that your Rfa will pass, but if it doesn't because of some silly pile-on, I'm glad to hear that you'll keep on keepin' on. Cheers friend, Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 01:14, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I told Malleus that, and believed it. Truth be told though, he's better off without the stigma of "administator". You may be as well. Although, personally, I belive you both deserve the extra tools, if for no other reason than because I have them, and you (and he) have done much more for the betterment of the encyclopdia than I ever will.

Yes, I really do care about your privacy.

As I explained on User talk:Alison, I was under the impression you were seeking a rapid oversight because you felt there was going to be scrutiny of your deleted userpage. I really was trying to help you. A little good faith assumption please? Just because I think you're poorly suited to being an administrator does not mean I am out to get you and harm you at every turn. I really was trying to help you, but all you and VS seem to want to do is crucify me. What do I have to do to prove to you that I was trying to help you? I just can't believe this. Not only are you not assuming good faith on my part, but even though I've explained what my thoughts were multiple times now you are still going out of your way to assume bad faith and ignore my explanations as a pack of lies. --Hammersoft (talk) 02:45, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

• Hammersoft - no one is trying to crucify you, you have a view on Enigma's application for adminship which is to oppose. You have a general right to that view. We have a general right to inform you when we have a concern over your argument why you are opposing and then to further comment when you adjust Engima's comments without seeking his permission. All the supporters do not have the same opinion as you that Enigma is poorly suited to being an administrator and we, that is (Enigma, Scarian, Dorftrottell and myself) have all asked you to stop commenting on this issue but you just continue to want to have the last word at the RfA, on your own page, and now here. Please, please, please will you just leave this issue alone it is getting very tiring and sorry, it seems to be particularly malicious when you simply won't stop trying to have the last word!--VS ^talk 03:03, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Then call me malicious. I do not appreciate the mischaracterization of my words and reserve the right to respond as needed. Both of you have continued to maintain that I am doing things with some nefarious purpose. Even now "you adjust Engima's comments without seeking his permission" is being said yet again, when I've explained God knows how many times now what it was I was attempting to do.

It's going all right. I saw your RfA (as you were no doubt hoping I would) and left a comment. A word of advice: let people remove comments to their heart's content in their own userspace. You can bring them up later in a request for comment if necessary, or just keep a collection of links to comments you might want to refer back to later.

I hope your RfA succeeds, I would truly be happy to see you as an administrator. Being able to see things from others' perspectives and use their thoughts to better yourself is a surprisingly uncommon quality. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 03:11, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up on that recreated material. I was eating dinner at the time, so someone beat me to it, but thanks for letting me know. That may need to be salted. Useight (talk) 05:20, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Ha, I can't actually view it now, because it's deleted. I was letting you know with a fuller explanation, because I was concerned that another admin patrolling CSD might not realize what I was saying. I wasn't familiar with the article, but I did an Internet search and discovered an interesting Wikipedia page. That tipped me off to what was going on. I tagged the article and reported the creator to AIV. Enigma ^message 05:34, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Nice job. That's a great catch. The article creator has been indef blocked. Useight (talk) 06:38, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

London Overground & User talk:81.110.106.169

Just thought id bring it to your attention that instead of letting all this stuff with the london overground edit war lie User:81.110.106.169 is now accusing User:Dnotice of stalking them and is getting rather nasty about it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tresiden (talk • contribs)

The IP reported Dnotice to AIV a bunch of times, yeah. Don't worry, it'll be blocked shortly. Enigma ^message 21:33, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

That would be because User:D-Notice was vandalising articles and IDPs. It was User:Enigmaman that I have accused of stalking, not D-Notice, since they have taken to undoing entirely unrelated edits blindly. Also, I object mildly to this discussion given that User:Tresiden's talk page is protected and I cannot respond to them. 81.110.106.169 (talk) 21:37, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
