	Hello! I'm unfamiliar with your opinion of me beyond your recent disagreement with some comments that I made at ], 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. —] 22:26, 4 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 Misplaced Pages.

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, ] 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 ]. I just am not encouraged from what I am seeing from these two pranksters.

	That is an editor? Sounds like someone is having anger issues with himself.

	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 Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages.

	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 Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages? 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 Misplaced Pages, 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,

	==]==
	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 ]. The second was to nail down some definitive requirements, but this may make HAU look like a ]. 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. ] (]) 22:26, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

	== Your Email ==

	I wanna start out, in the interest of all things being out in the open, that never left me with a good taste in my mouth about you. I was the person who meant his comment to be that he meant to harass me should be he an admin, and you didnt see it that way when, as Phillippe stated, two other "outsiders" had weighed in. That being said, when this RfA came about, I took a while to see where it went before I wanted to put in a !vote. As the only interaction I had with you was from that one incident, I didnt want to assume bad faith. After a good time had passed, people began to ask questions, and bring up diffs. I took notice and began to see the drama unfolding on the RfA, especially how it was handled. In the end, the arguments posed by Friday, Irpen and others, as I stated in my oppose, were what swayed me fully (if you want specifics, its namely the allegations and evidence of incivillity, quick ability to become heated, and inconsistencies in addressing policy). On the scale, in the end your cons outweighed your pros, and it was a weak oppose.

	That being said... that was before the email. I realize I enabled the "email" function, and as such am freely able to be solicited, however I question why you didnt just leave a message on my talk page. I'll assume good faith, and not give in to my mind screaming to change from weak to full on oppose, but it makes me wonder to what lengths you'll go if you should find yourself in a sticky situation in which your administration rights are being discussed.

	I am going to post the entirety of the email on my talk page for all to see. I dont believe that there was anything that needed to be private, and cant understand why an email and not a message. <b><font color="Indigo">]</font> \| <font color="MidnightBlue" size="1"><sup>]</sup></font></b> 22:18, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Precious

"...a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma... "

Thank you for quality articles about personalities such as Sid Luckman and Félix Houphouët-Boigny, for work for project Living people when it was active, for quoting "...a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma... ", for support and the perfect solution, - enigmaticmaman, repeating from 10 years ago: you are an awesome Wikipedian!

You are recipient no. 2240 of Precious, a prize of QAI! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:36, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

Awesome
Ten years!

--Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:36, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

Thanks, Gerda. I imagine I'm one of the few 2009 recipients still here. Enigma 15:40, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

Well, not so few, - I joined 2009, DYK? I normally look up if someone found precious 10 years ago (mostly by Rlevse) is still active and deserves a refreshed award. For you, it was the opposite: I noticed you on Floq's page, and thought "precious!", but then saw your entry and waited a bit ;) - Nice to meet you! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:45, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

:-) Enigma 16:13, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

We'll wait for your return. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:47, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

I'm sad to see you leave Misplaced Pages

I hope that your retirement isn't permanent, and that you decide to return to Misplaced Pages (whenever that may be). I'll miss you a lot, and I hope to hear from you in the future someday when you make your return. Should I never hear from you again, please know that I wish you well and I wish you a life of happiness and well-being. It was a pleasure to know you and work with you here, and I am sad to see you go...... ~Oshwah~ 17:34, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

I am not happy. Things are getting worse and worse on Misplaced Pages. Enigma 20:32, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

Just to add my sadness about your retirement...and my thanks for your input at RFPP. Take care. Lectonar (talk) 10:12, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:CloudBuy

Hello, Enigmaman. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "CloudBuy".

In accordance with our policy that Misplaced Pages is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Misplaced Pages! CASSIOPEIA 10:39, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

You got it deleted before the message even appeared for me, so this is not a helpful message. You could've notified me first. Enigma 20:32, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

Pranav Pandya

This title is salted. Can you unprotect to allow promotion of draft into mainspace? Draft:Pranav Pandya (Gujarati poet) is a different topic. It is well cited. I have checked for notability. It should be moved to Pranav Pandya. I was asked for help on my talkpage. Regards,-Nizil (talk) 14:32, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Enigmaman is inactive. Hey Eddie891 Can you help with this ? --Gazal world (talk) 15:19, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Nizil Shah, I have un-salted so the draft can be mainspaced as it's clearly not an A7 candidate. The new article may of course still be tagged if it is not notable, I have not closely reviewed the case. Thanks for the ping, Gaza world. Cheers, Eddie891 _Work 15:45, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

I do not know anything about this. I SALTed the title some years ago after it had been deleted multiple times by various admins. Enigma 16:43, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 17

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Burton (name), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Michael Burton. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Element Fresh

Hi! I see you are the closer for Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Element Fresh. I found an article from The Beijinger that it had developed a partnership with a tennis player named Li Na and now it's gone bankrupt. Would it help if I checked for some Chinese sources about the bankruptcy? If I can find enough I could start a DRV. WhisperToMe (talk) 01:24, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
