	This is AlmostValDay1996, a contributor to Misplaced Pages. I have happened to stumble upon the Misplaced Pages page for Brazil and I happened to notice that there was a dispute regarding the presidential status of Jair Bolsonaro. I checked the source to see where the person that put his presidential status as disputed and it was an article about a Brazilian actor who proclaims to be Brazil's president. However, this is completely unofficial as the sources say that he proclaims to be president, but there are no other sources nor any news about José de Abreu being recognized worldwide as Brazil's current president. Please check the below sources that I found regarding the dispute to make sure if José de Abreu is receiving recognition as Brazil's president or it is just a claim that José de Abreu created himself. Thank you for your time and have a nice night.

I would jack in the mop, and just carry on working, who needs it? Misplaced Pages and certain Wikipedian's lust for revenge will always mean you lose here, regardless of how noble you believe your motives were. Either resign now and render the case moot, or wait three months during which time every crevice of your time here will be wrought asunder, and still lose the mop.

	:::Thank you. I welcome advice as I am quite taken aback and unsure how to proceed. RfA is very difficult. I had a pretty good record and someone did something extremely inappropriate on my second RfA (and was never sanctioned for it and the individual never even apologized; it's well-documented) and managed to sabotage months of work, so on the one hand I'd rather resign to avoid the trouble but on the other hand, I'd never be admin again as I'd be viewed as damaged goods. So far two people have said just to resign and avoid it and two people have urged me to participate in the ArbCom case. ]<sup>]</sup> 20:45, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
	::::I think it's just a case of knowing what you're getting into. The last-but-one Arbcom case I was involved in took months and months, and last minute changes were being made to the wording of the sanction '''during the Arb voting process''', it was, frankly, a complete joke and an insult to the process. And it provides a wonderful forum for '''anyone''' you have ever dared to upset to come back and sling mud at you. It's a timesink, and honestly, the tools really ''aren't'' a big deal. I haven't missed them at all. Vandals get picked up ''eventually'', errors on the main page get fixed ''usually'' (primarily because of a handful of really dedicated admins), moving on from being an admin will free you up and allow you to just be normal again. ] (]) 09:56, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

	**I appreciate the feedback. Given that the first advice given was to resign (I got sent[REDACTED] e-mail), I planned to follow that, but then I logged on and people were urging me to make a statement on ArbCom. What the point is, I don't know, but at this point most of the damage has been done. Apparently some people see resignation as "honorable", while others view it as "cowardly", based on the responses I've gotten. ]<sup>]</sup> 16:39, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

	*You must be under a good deal of stress right now. I can't imagine it feels good to log on and find an ArbCom case about you. Based on my reading of the AN/I thread, there are a couple of things I suggest you put on your agenda of things that need to be done ASAP. 1. Write a statement and post it at AN/I. It needs to be a complete explanation and sincere apology. Not some trite "I made a bad block and then reversed it" but a full account including exact details of what you were thinking when you made the block, and a clear explanation of exactly what made it was a bad block, and what you will do in the future to avoid making similar mistakes. I'd suggest directly addressing the other issues raised by other users as well (like why it was bad for you to have closed the AN/I thread, and the problems of not leaving block templates, personal attacks in block summaries, etc.) 2. Next, do the same for ArbCom, directly addressing the issues raised there. Your current statement there is extremely unsatisfactory...I'd refactor the heck out of it, or just stick it inside a collapse template and start over. 3. Think seriously about whether you want to go through a full ArbCom case. You can look at ] to get an idea of what you're in for (similar case about careless use of admin tools, opened on 17 December 2018, closed on 10 February 2019). The only way to avoid that, I think, would be to voluntarily resign the admin toolset, which I think many people in the community see as being the "honorable" thing to do. I can't predict how the ArbCom case would turn out...that depends a lot on you...but I can't imagine you'll come out unscathed. Best case scenario is you get placed on some sort of "administrative review" probation like they did in the GiantSnowman case. Worst case you get desysopped the "dishonorable" way. That's my opinion based on my observation of other ArbCom cases. But whatever you do, the most pressing issues are #1 and #2. <span style="font-family:times; text-shadow: 0 0 .2em #7af">~] <small>(])</small></span> 16:51, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

	*Frankly, based on the current evidence and your replies so far, you're going to lose the tools. That block was inexcusably bad, as are the insults in your admin logs. Nobody should have to tell you this. You can't defend most of these actions because they are indefensible. It creates an overall impression that somehow, you just don't really know what you're doing anymore and apparently don't really understand why others find it upsetting that an admin is behaving as you have been.I think if you consider what is best for both you and for Misplaced Pages, the correct move is to resign. As TRM said above, many former admins actually find it quite liberating to be a "regular" editor again. ] (]) 17:22, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

	== arbitration case ==

	Hi Enigmaman, sorry to see you've been dragged into the tedium of an arbitration case. I won't take any view of how it should come out, but want to say that even if you've made errors with the admin buttons, nobody seems to want you to leave Misplaced Pages. I hope you'll stay on as a regular editor even if you don't get to stay an administrator.

	Don't be hard on yourself either way. Misplaced Pages's bureaucracy is far more stringent now than it was when you became an admin (that is IMHO mostly not a good thing) and it's pretty common if you follow arb cases for admins from the early days running afoul of current expectations by doing what they were used to in another era. If you lose the bit and still want to be an admin, it's always possible to make good contributions for a while and then submit a new RFA. If you keep it, just be more careful going forward, and more receptive to adapting to current practices.

	Best, ] (]) 07:04, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

	== Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular) ==

	ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.

	Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are ] to "have strong passwords and ]." We have ] our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, ] remains an ''optional'' means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.

	We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.

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)

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)

Element Fresh

Hi! I see you are the closer for Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Element Fresh.
