Adoption: thanks
Yes, I would like to be adopted. I've been waited for a few days and I'm glad someone has come forward. I've been editing for a while, but I still need help on some aspects of Wikipedia. Enigmaman (talk) 01:56, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * You're adopting? Whoever cleared you for that should have their head examined. LOL.  RC-0722 communicator/kills 19:52, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Haha. Maybe so. You two must have a special relationship! :D Anyway, I wanted to ask you if you knew if Wikipedia ever deletes old inactive accounts. I actually wanted a different name when I registered here, but it was taken. I just checked, and the last edit that user made was in 8/03. Enigmaman (talk) 08:51, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * One more. Where do all the userboxes come from? Do people make their own, or is there just a large database created by a few people or something? I was curious, because I'm looking for userboxes to add to my page. I feel like I'm asking "Dad, where do babies come from?" :P Enigmaman (talk) 08:56, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * What's the best way to warn vandals? Is there a quick code to type into their talk pages that will add a standard template? In the past, I've just been copying standard warning I've seen and making the necessary case-specific adjustments. Enigmaman (talk) 03:54, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Joe Montana
Dude, I found this: mailto:cnelson11@student.gsu.edu cnelson11@student.gsu.edu On the Joe Montana article. Wonder who did that?  RC-0722 communicator/kills 19:56, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * How are you?  RC-0722 communicator/kills 22:02, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I know. I'm having fun.  RC-0722 communicator/kills 22:42, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Is that THE Chris J. Nelson? :) Enigmaman (talk) 08:59, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Affirmative. That's his E-mail. I found it in the refs on the Joe Montana article. Nelson just shot teddy. LOL  RC-0722 communicator/kills 16:49, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Maybe I'm not looking hard enough, but I didn't see it in the history. Enigmaman (talk) 17:18, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I forget which version it was, but I found it there. Now the wuestion is what do I do with it?  RC-0722 communicator/kills 17:52, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I have a few suggestions, but I'll keep my mouth shut. :) Enigmaman (talk) 17:54, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Like selling it to spammers? :)  RC-0722 communicator/kills 18:14, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * BTW, he also has a Gmail! :) "mailto:cnelson13@gmail.com"! lol!  Burner0718  (Jibba Jabba!) 20:49, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * You're great. :D Enigmaman (talk) 22:33, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't know how he does it.  RC-0722 communicator/kills 22:37, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * It's on his userpage.  Burner0718  (Jibba Jabba!) 23:43, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Re:WikiProject College football
Yeah, I joined it a few months ago. Haven't been too active in it, though.  jj137  (talk)  02:44, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, probably...   jj137   (talk)  02:59, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm in several WikiProjects (maybe 10-15) but probably only very active in 2 or 3 of them.   jj137   (talk)  03:08, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Let's see... my exact total is 14.   jj137   (talk)  03:13, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Mostly just sports and random other ones I find and am interested in. :)   jj137   (talk)  03:16, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah; I mostly stay in sports articles when editing, so I will join almost any sports related WikiProject if I come across it and it is a sport I like (mainly baseball, football, and basketball).   jj137   (talk)  03:23, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Probably the Celtics (I'm watching them on TV right now...). And yes, I did like them before they became really good this year. :)   jj137   (talk)  03:28, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I like the Cavs too - I was really hoping they'd win the NBA Finals last year.   jj137   (talk)  03:39, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, kind of. They were doing really well until then, but I think they lost partly because the Spurs were just really good.   jj137   (talk)  03:43, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I wonder why that was there??? :)   jj137   (talk)  04:04, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * 18-1, the one game they lose is the Super Bowl. (They go 16-0 and can't even win the Super Bowl to a team they beat!) They did good, but apparently not good enough.   jj137   (talk)  04:12, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I think you would be good. I'd say somewhere north of 2000 edits would be ideal. You're doing a good job now.   jj137   (talk)  14:14, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

edit count
Nice, you passed 700 edits.  RC-0722 communicator/kills 04:28, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I think they'll do OK.  RC-0722 communicator/kills 04:52, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * BTW, its spelled WHAPAH, not WAPAAH. I saw it on Nick at Nite.  RC-0722 communicator/kills 04:57, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I know, but u used it on pats1 talk page and said WAPAAH. BTW, you might want to change your quote of the day.  RC-0722 communicator/kills 05:03, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

re:WHAPAH
gallardo. BTW, my madden tourney (which was today) was postponed. Who should I play as?  RC-0722 communicator/kills 19:54, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
 * IDK, depends on which conference I'm assigned to. If I get lucky and get the AFC, I was thinking about Ravens, Titans, or Chiefs. But if I end up with the NFC, I was looking at the Rams, Falcons, Packers or Saints.  RC-0722 communicator/kills 01:12, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Leaving comments and indenting
I've been curious about this for a while. The standard way to respond is with : and then adding one each time, right? What if it gets too long? What is considered too long? Example below:


 * Is this OK? Do I unindent? Maybe a minor point, but I just had an encounter with someone who got a little annoyed when I unindented after a few instead of indenting further. Enigmaman (talk) 02:18, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

?
test.  RC-0722 communicator/kills 18:39, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Want to know how?  RC-0722 communicator/kills 22:24, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

vandalism
Already did.  RC-0722 communicator/kills 22:36, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Turn on your cell dude.  RC-0722 communicator/kills 22:37, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
 * You up? I got an in service day tomorrow so I'll either b gone or on here.  RC-0722 communicator/kills 04:31, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Not completely understanding something
 Instead of asking him what he meant, I figured I'd ask you. What would be a Mediawiki solution? That a message would automatically appear when a page got protected? :) Enigma (talk) 21:07, 12 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Also, I stole your "leave a new message" thingy. :D Enigma (talk) 21:08, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

RE:Barnstar
Thank you very much! Icestorm815 •  Talk  02:34, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

lol
you didn't warn the guy who vandalized the talk page! Don't worry, I got your back. Enigma (talk) 05:26, 13 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Did you get the idea for the warning template on the user page from me? :P If so, we're even. Enigma (talk) 05:41, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

oh
ooh, fun. lol Elisa EX PL OS i ON  talk.  13:23, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
 * haha too much vandalism? Elisa EX PL OS i ON  talk.  13:39, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

making a signature
So tell me. How creative can I be with my sig? I was thinking of having "msg me" or something like that diagonally in small letters next to my username. Is that possible? Enigma (talk) 13:49, 14 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm having fun with the vandal that went after you on this page earlier. I warned him a few times and then reported him to AIV. Enigma (talk) 04:47, 15 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Can you help me set it up so that a bot archives my messages after a period of time? I was reading the instructions for ClueBotIII, but it was pretty confusing. Enigma (talk) 07:50, 15 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I actually figured out the archiving thing before you replied. I created the page earlier yesterday, but the instructions said to have a space between Archive and the number. Thanks anyway, and thanks for the signature instructions. By the way, you have my talk page on your watchlist, right? Keep an eye out for IPs editing it. I think I've pissed off a few vandals. Heh. Enigma (talk) 00:08, 17 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I skimmed the signature page, but I'm still not quite certain how I would do special things with the sig like have a word go diagonal. Enigma (talk) 06:17, 17 February 2008 (UTC)


 * ok. I'll play around with it a little. Enigma (talk) 19:43, 17 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Check your sandbox. I'm pretty sure I used your exact format, just changing the colors, the username, and the message I want displayed. Still didn't work. Enigma (talk) 20:01, 17 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Alright works now. Thanks. I didn't realize that it wouldn't recognize the code if raw was unchecked. Cheers.  Enigma  msg! 20:10, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

That's not supposed to happen!!!
Dude, I'm on a mac powerbook from the year 1998. Scary huh? I so thrilled, cuz I can't use my desktop (I'm virus scanning) so this is great!!! Tiime for the ubox.  RC-0722 communicator/kills 03:46, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks and cool. I'm at 1400. So why are you going to the supreme court? LOL. They were her until 10:00PM. My activity should pick up now that I'm online more. The only problem is I'm sitting on the floor :(  RC-0722 communicator/kills 05:57, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
