The vandalism to my userpage[edit]

See the edit history of Seancarlin84. All those accounts are his socks. He's had a thing for me ever since I became the last admin to decline his unblocks at the end of January ... and then protected his talk page. All those accounts were socks of his.

You know what I think is funny Danny boy? That you honestly think UMD will do anything about me vandalizing your page. First off, they have more important things to worry about. Second, even if they did care, they couldn't prove it was just me because you have made many enemies on Wikipedia. Third, they don't know my name and I will graduate in 2 weeks. Fourth, I work with a IT guy on campus and I ask him weekly if there have been any reports of Wikipedia abuse, and we both laugh about it. Danny, you don't tolerate dissent, even when you're wrong. No one will do anything, even if you file "formal reports." I remember once you said the FBI would like to hear about what I've done. No they don't, they wouldn't care. You need to relax Daniel Case.--129.2.17.149 (talk) 17:59, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rfb participation thanks[edit]

Hello, Enigma.

I wanted to personally thank you for taking part in the project-wide discussions regarding my candidacy for bureaucratship. After bureaucratic discussion, the bureaucrats decided that there was sufficient significant and varied opposition to my candidacy, and thus no consensus to promote. Although personally disappointed, I both understand and respect their decision, especially in light of historical conservatism the project has had when selecting its bureaucrats. If you have any further suggestions or comments as to how you think I could help the project, please let me know. Once again, thank you for your both your early and strong support, and next time, I'll know not to close Sean's rfB early -- Avi (talk) 17:01, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My RfA[edit]

Hi Enigmaman; I wanted to say thank you for supporting my request for adminship, which passed with 100 supports, 0 opposes and 1 neutral. I wanted to get round everybody individually, even though it's considered by some to be spam (which... I suppose it is! but anyway. :)). It means a lot to me that the community has placed its trust in my ability to use the extra buttons, and I only hope I can live up to its expectations. If you need anything, or notice something that bothers you, don't hesitate to let me know. Thanks again, PeterSymonds | talk 21:56, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Edit War[edit]

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.

I also notice that despite this, you left no notice on his page, and I haven't edited the page for about a day. So what's the deal with that?Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 20:35, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Thankfully, now the offending user is blocked indefinitely. Enigma message 03:31, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So, I turn to you[edit]

Hello, I know you are an individual on Wiki who is respected. I have been having a few pranksters ruining my contributions on here. The language and attitude I am getting is without end disgraceful. The same nonsense over and over. For me, Wikipedia should always be fun. That's the reason I wanted to contribute. When it's not fun anymore, it's time to talk to you. 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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Thanks[edit]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Thanka for the advice. I give up on this. I am just glad where I am living. This has been a real eye-opener.

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)[reply]

Yeah, the problem was I didn't want to say per User:Pedro. I guess I should've. Pedro is a policy! Enigma message 20:44, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And now, for next time, you have a new and improved link: WP:NOTNOW.  :) Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 21:13, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rfa[edit]

I don't understand how my Rfa was improperly formatted. Can you help me with it? 53180 (talk) 02:27, 22 May 2008 (UTC)53180.[reply]

Sure, I'll take a look and try to fix the problems. Enigma message 02:56, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I can't even find the RfA. Was it deleted? I just see the series of RfAs you ran in rapid succession last year. Enigma message 04:06, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I found it at 6. It should have been 5, so I moved it to there. Otherwise, you should follow the instructions here instead of the way you did it. Enigma message 04:13, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey![edit]

No problem. Let me know if I can be of further assistance. Enigma message 05:16, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral[edit]

No, it's my way of showing that I'm interested, and planning on making a decision, based on the answers to the questions together with my investigation and personal analysis of Evula's history; no more, no less. Sorry about any unintended obfuscation; is there anything else I can clarify? -- Avi (talk) 06:54, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

NYC Meetup[edit]

Hiya! Wondered if your offer was still open to head to the meet-up together. I can meet you at the station at 116th if there's an easy meeting space. Let me know :) Thanks! TravellingCarithe Busy Bee 15:09, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your RfA[edit]

I noticed you were going to self nom yourself. Is it OK if I nominate you? - DiligentTerrier (and friends) 21:41, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oops...I misread the page - it looks like Scarian is nominating you. I'd be happy to co-nom, but of course, you won't hurt my feelings if you don't want me to.  :) - DiligentTerrier (and friends) 21:43, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have three people nominating and that's usually considered to be the maximum. Thanks for the offer, though! Enigma message 21:46, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've been waiting for this. Good luck :) SynergeticMaggot (talk) 14:02, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! Enigma message 14:08, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, just wanted to drop by to let you know I left a few questions for ya on your RfA. Good luck, Tiptoety talk 14:14, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
So, what, like 40 or so editors tried to nominate you right? Glad to see your finally movin' on it. Wishing you the best - Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 14:14, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
To Tip: Gotcha. Answering now. To Keeper: Nah, only about 15. :P Enigma message 14:18, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, just to say don't forget to close the template with {{subst:Afc b}} when closing those AFC entries. Otherwise all the submission underneath will get eaten up. :D KTC (talk) 14:06, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yep. Sorry about that. I ended up removing my acceptance anyway, because I at first missed the fact that it was a somewhat controversial cross-namespace redirect. :) Enigma message 14:08, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

this guy is dedicated[edit]

persistent vandalism by 90.213.61.199. thanks for helping out. Machete97 (talk) 02:01, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

can you actually block him ? Machete97 (talk) 02:02, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • The above comment noticed - Engima is currently going through a fairly harrowing Request for Adminship and can't block, can I help in some way?--VS talk 02:03, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Actually since blocked that anon IP for very poor editing/language.--VS talk 02:10, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Should've been blocked actually before I sent the final warning, but I did it anyway because if I reported to AIV, I'd probably get the "user hasn't received a final warning" response. Clear abusive editing, targeting a specific page and edit-warring over it. Thanks for blocking, VS. Enigma message 02:18, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
