He attacked two different users with a variety of names in the linked exchange alone. ]<sup>]</sup> 22:38, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

			==Your draft article, ]==
	== UNBLOCK REQUEST FROM EARLIER TODAY ==
			]

			Hello, Enigmaman. It has been over six months since you last edited the ] submission or ] page you started, "]".
	Hey, it's OK. Don't bother yourselves too much about unblocking that library IP. I was at the library earlier today. Am back home now. Thanks for your help and attention. ] (]) 23:39, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

			In accordance with our policy that Misplaced Pages is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia ], 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\|Draft:CloudBuy\|edit the submission}} and remove the {{tlc\|db-afc}}, {{tlc\|db-draft}}, or {{tlc\|db-g13}} code.
	==Stadium of Light==

			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 ]. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
	The world famous "stadium of light" is a football ground in Portugal. A name Benfica FC have used for their stadiums since 1952.

			Thank you for your submission to Misplaced Pages! <!-- Template:Db-draft-notice --><!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> ]<sup>(])</sup> 10:39, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
	Sunderland AFC used the same name for their stadium in 1997. Why on earth, when people search for “stadium of light” do they get the Sunderland version?
			:You got it deleted before the message even appeared for me, so this is not a helpful message. You could've notified me first. ]<sup>]</sup> 20:32, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

			== A survey to improve the community consultation outreach process ==
	Sunderland fans have completely taken ownership of the English translation, and have crudely differentiated their page from the actual “stadium of light” as they use the English translation and the original ground use a Portugese translation.

			Hello!
	The fact being, the names are the same. And English speaking fans have referred to the portugese ground as “stadium of light” since the 1950s.

			The Wikimedia Foundation is seeking to improve the community consultation outreach process for Foundation policies, and we are interested in why you didn't participate ] that followed ] you’ve been part of.
	It’s reprehensible. Say, someone decided to create a building in Madrid with a Spanish translation of the words “grace” and “land”, and then take ownership of the word in Spain, on the basis that theirs is newer and is the local translation? And say “oh, your version isn’t the same, as yours is in a foreign language. Spanish people should be diverted to this version, even if they are looking for the vastly more famous building”.

			Please fill out to help us improve our community consultation process for the future. It should only take about three minutes.
	The fact that fans are being diverted to the stadium who frankly nicked the name – just by claiming that Portugese people use the portugese translation, is reprehensible.

			The privacy policy for this survey is . This survey is a one-off request from us related to this unique topic.
	What about the billion English speakers, who use the English translation. Why divert us to Sunderland!?

			Thank you for your participation, ] 10:44, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

	Well I was just changing the status of the website to "temporarily offline" because it was offline at that time! A user named JeremyWJ kept on undoing my changes. What have I done wrong? The fact that he kept undoing my changes made me furious to keep on undoing his changes. Moreover, who is JeremyWJ? It's not like he's the keeper of this website. Anyone can change any information on Misplaced Pages as long as it's not vandalism and if you start blocking people for that, I don't have anything left to say. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 08:14, 7 November 2009 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

			==Your input==
	:Understand that wikipedia is not a place where we update on the status of something every time it changes for a little bit. With that logic we would have to edit, for example, every article of stores, restaurants, and such each night when they close for 5-6 hours at night. You misunderstand the meaning of "status". It is -not- about where the site is online right here and now, but its overall status. For sites that are still going (despite temporary downtime) they are considered Active/Online. All website articles through Misplaced Pages use this same rule. Again, refer to the talk page of The Pirate Bay, the talk page for the Website article template, and you can even check out WP:NOTNEWS for policy on this. Also this is not the place to discuss this, but I responded since you already started it here. As for who I am, I am just a normal user like you. I'm very active in the Pirate Bay and other file sharing articles. Just understand that although I see why you think it should have been changed when it was offline, you were going against general consensus, along with Misplaced Pages policy by doing so. As for why we -both- were almost blocked was because of WP:3RR. You are only allowed 3 reverts per article per 24 hours by policy. We both got out of hand, but I've been trying very very hard to keep that article from being changed to offline when it does go out. Understand that this site is nearing its final days and when people change it to anything saying offline they think the site is gone for good (with good reason because that is what it would should mean). ] (]) 08:40, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
			I have an RfC going on at ] regarding using all caps in an article and would appreciate the input of some long-standing Misplaced Pages editors who may be familiar with the policy, or at least be able to interpret the existing policy with some clarity. Thanks for your time! ] (]) 23:21, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
	::Not up to me to decide who is "right" and who is "wrong". In the end, you're both wrong for gross violations of ] and can consider yourselves fortunate that you weren't blocked. ]<sup>]</sup> 00:47, 8 November 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)

Your input

I have an RfC going on at Talk:Gwar#RfC_about_GwarBar_vs_GWARbar regarding using all caps in an article and would appreciate the input of some long-standing Misplaced Pages editors who may be familiar with the policy, or at least be able to interpret the existing policy with some clarity.

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)

I started User:WhisperToMe/Element Fresh as a draft. If you're interested, please feel free to give feedback. Thank you WhisperToMe (talk) 23:26, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
