	I understand most of my articles of the various Jat and Rajput clans of Pakistan have been deleted. I note that none of the articles on the various Jat clans in India have been deleted. Can you clarify whether it is your policy to simply delete the Pakistani entries. Many of the Indian articles make no refrence to any sources and are quite frankly poorly written. All my articles make refrence to either Rose or Wikely who wrote a considerable amount on the Pakistani Jat and Rajput clans. I am quite happy to edit any of my articles if you feel they require further improvement, to bring them up to a better standard. But a blanket deletion of all Pakistan related entries, while leaving the Indian ones as is, I feel smacks of discrimination.

	The point isn't about deleting Indian articles. The point is that most of Indian Jat sub-tribes have their own entries, and none have been deleted. Then why are the Pakistani ones subject to deletion. The Jat are important ethno-tribal community, made up of tribal sections. Other Pakistani ethno-tribals communities such as the Baluch and Pashtoon also have tribal entries. If it is Wikepedia policy not have entries on tribal groups, then why not have a uniform policy. Exclude all tribal groupongs, African, Native American, South-East Asian, and then I have no problem with the Pakistani ones being deleted. What concerns me is that the Pakistani ones are being singled out.

	I accept, that many Pakistani entries require editing and are poorly sourced. I am attempting to contact other Pakistani contributors so that we then discuss this point. But unless there is a blanket ban on all tribal entries, then I cannot see why the Pakistani entries are being singled out.

	Not sure where to raise this. But this chap Scarian (talk \| contribs) is unnecessarily vandalising Pakistan related articles. What is the main forum to register concerns. I think there might be undelying issues of racism. I will look at Wiki guidelines on racist behaviour, but I would be obliged if this particular editor is blocked from dealing with Pakistani or Islam related issues.

	Since discussion was closed, I thought I would just make a point here.

	I had said "I don't think its trivial. For one thing, it relates to what WBC team the person might be able to play on."

	I didn't say that it was the only factor.

	Clearly, if a ballplayer is from Japan, he qualifies for the Japanese team.

	As you said, there are frequent occurrences of players representing countries other than the country they were born in. But my point was still valid. The two aren't mutually exclusive.--] (]) 08:02, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

	:As shown with the Greek team, things can be stretched to have just about any player play for any team. If your grandfather visited a country, that's enough.

	:* Which issues have not been resolved? When you say "if you're just going to remove 'them' without discussing it," to what does the word "them" refer? According to the sentence structure, "them" is referring to "issues," but then you state that "there's nothing that can be accomplished," (from removing whatever it is you mean without discussion).

	== RFPP ==

	Hi there Enigma. While I appreciate your help everywhere of course, I do not think you are doing anyone a favor in declining RFPP requests. Some might see it as if you were trying to impersonate admins while others might feel they can start doing the same. Help is a great thing but RFPP is one of the venues where only admins can make definite decisions. If you add those templates, other admins might believe the request has been decided already even though it still needs assessment. I hate to tell you off for trying to help (I really do) but in the spirit of treating all users the same, I feel that such particular help is counter-productive to both RFPP and yourself and I suggest you stop doing it. There are other ways you can help around here that would be much appreciated, like checking ] for mistaken speedy tagging and removing them. Regards ''']]''' 06:51, 31 March 2009 (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.

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)

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.

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