Keep an eye on this one...
Hey E_man. Do me a favour. Keep an eye on uber-edit-warrior User:Johan Rachmaninov. It doesn't matter how many people edit the pages he wants to own he reverts them. I discussed his case with Pat the other day but I decided to AGF him for dozens of 3RR vios. I am not going to AGF anymore. I you catch him reverting anything from anybody on a page that he's reverted on, even once, in the past 2 days... let me know and I'll put him on the chop. Libs (talk) 16:41, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
- I spoke to Pat the other night on this one. He threw a 48 hour block at him. Now he's back and just look at his contributions today!!! With Pat in Munich I am short an ally. Know anyone who's friendly to the cause? Have a nice day! Libs (talk) 23:30, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
- I'm afraid I don't. You speak to KOS recently? I can try to continue to keep an eye on it for you. Enigma 04:16, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
I saw Johan's vacation. And you have now seen Angry Shoplifter and his true Wiki colours. You may blacklist him if you wish. He is a short walk from Trollsville. :) Have a nice day! Libs (talk) 12:05, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
WP:LA
Hi - Unless I do something special, 52pickup will be readded to the active list until his (her) last 30 edits are within the last 3 months (mid July I suppose). I suppose it's pretty clear when editors stop editing completely that they're gone but the active/semi-active/inactive algorithm doesn't really take this into account. I think I'd like to keep "inactive" as "no edits in the last three months", but I suppose there could be a "no edit in the last " criteria for semi-active. Any suggestions for n? -- Rick Block (talk) 02:15, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
- I agree that there should be a criterion added that would shift an admin from active to semi-active once they haven't edited for n days. I'm no expert, but I would say 30 days for sure, possibly less. Enigma 02:53, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

My RFA (plyhmrp)
Why did you take off my RFA and are you a admin. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Plyhmrp (talk • contribs) 20:17, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not an admin and I closed it due to WP:NOTNOW and WP:SNOW. It had no chance of passing. I would elaborate, but I'd rather not. Enigma 20:19, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
First off tell me why you edited my userpage in the guidelines section and how can you judge if it will pass. Another policy WP:SNOW is not a policy it says so. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Plyhmrp (talk • contribs) 20:21, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
- I removed personal attacks from your talk page. They are inappropriate. Please read WP:SNOW and WP:NOTNOW. I am positive your RfA would not have passed. I would not have closed it had I had any doubt. Enigma 20:26, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
First those "attacks" are on MY userpage so I can do what I wish. Don't take down RFA'S it's not your job.Plyhmrp (talk) 20:29, 23 June 2008 (UTC)plyhmrp
- You cannot attack other users anywhere, whether it's on your talk page or not. Enigma 20:30, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
Says who? Also I will not allow certain people to post on my page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Plyhmrp (talk • contribs) 20:32, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
- See Misplaced Pages:User_page#Ownership and editing of pages in the user space , you do not own your userpage, it belongs to the community. I endorse Enigmaman's decision in this matter. Your RFA has no chance of passing - it wasn't even formatted correctly. I suggest you take the advice he pointed you to (at WP:NOTNOW) and let this one go. –xenocidic (talk) 20:33, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
Ok I will not make attacks but I can and will say certain people can't post on my page.Plyhmrp (talk)Plyhmrp
I'm afraid that Enigma is absolutely correct. You have the right to blank whatever you wish on your talk page as that is your prerogative. However (and this is a big however), you do not own your userpage. It belongs to Misplaced Pages since it is public domain. Also, see WP:NOTMYSPACE. Userspace is not the property of the user and you cannot prevent other users from editing it. With regards to WP:SNOW and closing RfAs. Any user in good standing (whether they are a crat, admin or non-admin) may close the process if it is certain to fail. SNOW is an extension of WP:IAR. Wisdom89 (T / ) 20:40, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
Erm, sorry?
Why'd you do that? AGF plz? weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 06:35, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
- WP:NOTNOW. Automatic close for under 500 edits. Enigma 06:37, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
- Not sure if I agree with that... But hey, he'd only get opposed massively anyway. weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 06:40, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
- Not sure if you agree with that? Would you prefer waiting until he got 25 opposes? Obviously edit count is not what determines who is suited for adminship, but a user with under 500 edits is not even going to get close to passing an RfA. There's no point in waiting until the opposes pile up. This is to avoid biting newbies. Seeing as you opposed yourself... Enigma 06:43, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
- Not sure if I agree with that... But hey, he'd only get opposed massively anyway. weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 06:40, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks, but no.
This is even worse than when I had admin rights. I'm sorry, but I am seriously not interested in continuing here. The fun is gone and it actually becoming dangerous. Thanks for caring, but I am outta here. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 03:35, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
- I think you're taking the vandal a little too seriously, really. By leaving, you're allowing the vandal to win. That was his (?) goal. To drive you off Misplaced Pages. Gotta have a thick skin. I hate seeing good contributors being driven off. Enigma 03:51, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Automatic edit summaries
In regards to your automatic edit summaries you've used in reverts to the Chris Long article. Usually you only use the automatic revert summaries when you're reverting vandalism. Both of the edits were good-faith edits. I would suggest that when you revert a good-faith edit you not use the automatic edit summary, and instead explain why you reverted the edit. Ksy92003 (talk) 16:20, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
- You're incorrect. The "Jake Long's brother" thing was vandalism. Enigma 16:28, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
- Some people might just not know. For the longest time, I honestly thought they were as well. Ksy92003 (talk) 16:34, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
- Continually changing it like that makes it clear that it's vandalism. I've never heard anywhere that they're brothers, because they aren't, and no newspaper/TV station/radio station would say they are. That account is a vandal, and I'm using rollback on it, because the editsd are vandalism. Enigma 16:51, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
- Plus, the article had a reference. . Look at the history of the article. Not good faith. Enigma 16:58, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
Danilo Gallinari
I have reverted your change of Danilo Gallinari's team status. He is not a member of the Mavericks until he is signed to a contract, and that has not yet taken place. This has been discussed elsewhere with other articles about 2008 NBA Draft selections. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 02:58, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
- He's not a member of the Mavericks in general. Enigma 04:30, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
Thank you!
I've filed a formal complaint with Comcast regarding that threat and they took it very seriously. Since my pages are protected, I figured, what the heck.
I genuinely appreciate the greeting. I am not the sort of person in real life to back down from a bully (heaven help one who tries to take me on directly) and I'm not about to back down from a coward. BTW, the little moron is vandalizing an AT&T page as well as a Comcast page as I write. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 04:42, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

- I helped file a report about a vandal who was repeatedly hitting my page and making threats to many users, so I know the feeling. As long as your userpage and talk page are semi-protected and move-protected, you should be in good shape. We need contributors with a thick skin who won't back down from the vandals, because the vandal/troll is trying to get you to quit. That's why they do these things. To get attention and frustrate good contributors. Enigma 04:45, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
I find it interesting that he's choosing to taunt me by my old username. Must be some guy I blocked back in the day when I was an admin; at least I gave back the mop and bucket in good standing. If so, he's been (a) holding a grudge for the better part of two years, (b) vandalizing the site all the while and (c) he can't get a date on a Saturday night. Can you imagine a pickup line from this guy? "Hey, baby. Whaddaya say you come on over to my place, slip into a Harry Potter Halloween costume and we'll vandalize Misplaced Pages by candlelight? Got some Yoo-Hoo chillin' on ice." --PMDrive1061 (talk) 04:59, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
- Eyrian? This is getting ugly. Enigma 05:00, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
I just noticed that. I was trying to leave word on the admin noticeboard saying I'd returned and while the section is listed in the index, it wasn't coming up on the page. That's when I saw the latest idiocy. All those IPs, lots of AT&T and Road Runner Cable this time. LIke I said, he can't get a date. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 05:03, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
- Very strange. I can see what you wrote when I click the diff, but not when I go to ANI itself, where the section is listed but not the content. Enigma 05:05, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
Just found it. It wound up at the bottom of that pull-down list at the bottom of the page. No idea how to fix it. That's a new bug for sure. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 05:08, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
- Not a bug. I didn't look at the code, but I'm pretty sure what happened was that someone used "{collapse}" on the previous discussion, and didn't close the tag. That led to everything after it being included in the collapse. Enigma 05:11, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
Looks like you're right. I've nver used the template myself and I didn't know how to fix it. It seems to be OK now and the ANI page has been protected. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 05:18, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
Re: ...
Aww. Is this about my semi-retirement? If so, don't worry, I'm not completely retired. I just won't be editing as often as before, and probably not more than 10 or 20 minutes each day, which should leave enough time for me to check my watchlist and make a few contributions where needed. Best wishes, ~AH1 13:36, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
- Aww. Well, I might try to contribute once in a while if there's enough time to vote, or maybe add a few mottos. I don't think I'll have time to participate in the closing process, though, but I'll try to help whenever I can.

Wow. Please make him leave me alone.He is now attacking me personally on his talkpage. He characterizations of my account and verifiable discussing of what he thinks I am are indeed attacks. Please have him go somewhere else. You are correct, I made a mistake with one editor months ago , and crossed the line in the heat of the moment. This is not the case now. My reporting of his name was in good faith. When an admin reviewed it and removed it, I was satisfied. Strongly suggest he be asked to just leave me and my talk page alone.Die4Dixie (talk) 10:15, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
- I can't make anyone do anything. I suggest you both stop interacting with each other. Hopefully he won't edit your talkpage anymore, and you shouldn't edit his either. I confess I don't see why he edit warred with you or reported you to AN/I, but I'm not taking sides in this dispute. Enigma 10:27, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
Awesome. BTW, I have never left anything ever on his talkpage. I really just want him to quit bullying me and leave me in peace. Thank you for your sagacious counsel to both of us.maybe hell quit lurking around my talkpage now--Die4Dixie (talk) 10:36, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
They're out of the woodwork
See this. WP:3RR isn't the only policy he is having trouble with today. Do you want to do the WP:CIVIL thing for me whice I compose a 3RR listing for this youngster? Libs (talk) 14:20, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
- Actually.. on further review based on the number of IPs this guy uses to edit war he has gone past 3RR'ness and into the full bore world of trolling. Don't you think? Libs (talk) 14:22, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the step-in. East718 spoke to the little mister as well. Unfortunately we were all ignored. The edit summary ending in don't like it, too bad pretty much reveals the editor's intentions to ignore WP:3RR, WP:CON, WP:CIVIL and every other WP:X he can get in there. :D . I'll take vandals any day over POV pushers, soap-boxers and edit warriors. At least the vandals are easily dealt with. Libs (talk) 11:44, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
- He should be blocked for 3RR, but the policy wonks you run into there will scream about the fourth revert not being within a 24 hour period. I suppose we wait until Pat gets back. He should be back by now! Enigma 21:11, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

- Sure, go ahead, although I'm not sure why it should have to go to AfD in order to be salted. If it's been deleted three times, then it should be deleted and salted straight off. Enigma 04:39, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

I am restoring this page to how it were before some Ip users change, with some cosusions to make both those who whaned prog death and commas in the page.

As for blocking 70.240.131.121, he stopped vandalizing after his final warning and hasn't vandalized in an hour, so blocking him now would be punitive not preventative, so I'll decline to block, but I'll keep an eye on him.

Friendly IP
If it's OK I think that I'll leave it unprotected for the next 24 hours. The IP really likes my talk page and I'd much rather they were hitting it than hitting a brand new user at random, who then couldn't reply to me because my page was protected. I'm off tomorrow, 16:00 MST (22:00 UTC), for a week anyway so it's not a problem for me and I'll do them all before I go. It'll probably need to be user pages as well. Cheers.

User:Blueboy96 early-closed Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Bring em on on your recommendation. As I said on his talk page, I don't think an early close wasn't warranted.

WP:HAU, Status, and you!
As you may know, the StatusBot responsible for maintaining the status of the Highly Active Users was taken offline. We now have a replacement in the Qui status system. This semi-automatic system will allow you to easily update your status page found at Special:Mypage/Status which the HAU page code is now designed to read from. If you are already using Qui (or a compatible system) - great! - no action is needed (other than remembering to update your status as necessary). If not, consider installing Qui. You can also manually update this status by changing the page text to online, offline, or busy. While it is not mandatory, the nature of HAU is that people are often seeking a quick answer from someone who is online and keeping our statuses up-to-date will assist with this. Note if you were previously using your /Status page as something other than a one-word status indicator, your HAU entry may have been set to "status=n" to correct display issues. Please clear this parameter if you change things to be "HAU compatible". Further questions can be raised at WT:HAU. This message was delivered by xenobot 22:53, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
so lucky you're on vacation
otherwise I'd very likely have taken you up on the offer of moving help. :) Hope you're having a wonderful trip. I think I have paint between every eyelash and on every hair and nail and. But I'm in. Almost! TCari 01:16, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Reyes Point
mm I see an addition to your to-do list, if you're interested in writing on places :) Not too interested in the All Star game this year, it's more theater than baseball IMO. I wish I were on vacation right now, seems as if everyone else is. TCari 19:21, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
- Seems the name is actually Point Reyes. Oopsie. I climbed the equivalent of 30 stories there and still mixed up the name! Enigma 00:26, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
- Looks gorgeous! I've been to the Bay area, but never there that I remember. TCari 02:30, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
- Not sure I can be of much help there. Enigma 05:39, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
Dumpster muffins
Very odd. I've warned (and, per policy, will treat a removal of the warning as a confirmation that it's been read and understood) and watchlisted the talk page. I think that's sufficient for now; we'll see how the user reacts. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 05:42, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, I reviewed the page history and his contributions. His mainspace contributions appear to be generally productive (though he has some proclivity towards edit-warring), which suggests to me that he may be a good-faith user whose current talk page behaviour is his idea of a joke. I'm hoping this is the case, and that my warning convinces him that it's not an appropriate joke. If not, I have a block button. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 05:50, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Articles Needing Copy Edit
Hey, glad to see your support at our project proposal! We have just created a project page; see you there! -Samuel Tan 05:30, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
- Done. Enigma 05:39, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
- Oops! Your name wasn't updating on the participants list cos of a silly coding error. (No wonder I thought no one had signed up... gosh...) Fixed now! See you there. :) -Samuel Tan 07:03, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
My RFA
It should pass. I have been a registered user for 7.5 months and have made over 1800 total edits. My last RFA was 4 months ago. Anyway, how did I not format my request correctly? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Footballfan190 (talk • contribs)

Ghulam Muhammad Khan Mahar
According to the article, he was a member of the National Legislature and thus incontestably notable. -I assume you didnt notice that part. I therefore removed the speedy tag you had placedDGG (talk) 08:40, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
- Given the state the article was in when I tagged it, yes, I must've missed it. Enigma 12:03, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
Re:deletion
I didn't know that about {{hangon}} tags, so someone has deleted that articles and I recreated again that. now I know about above tag, but you are still deleting, then how can satisfy that these people are famous here in Sindh.

Boigny
Hi Enigmaman. Thank you for proofreading Mr. Boigny's article--it is greatly appreciated. You don't have to stop due to edit conflicts--we're looking for a FA (or at least GA, at its current state) ASAP, and we need more users like you. --I'm an Editorofthewiki 00:42, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
