User talk:Python Drink

Hello, Victor obini, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, your edit to NotAllMen does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Questions page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, {{edit|Special:MyTalk|click here|section=new|preload=Help:Contents/helpmepreload|preloadtitle=Help me!}} to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly.

{{ivmbox | image = Commons-emblem-notice.svg |imagesize=50px | bg = #E5F8FF | text = This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in gender-related disputes or controversies or in people associated with them. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{tlx|Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

To answer your e-mail: most intelligent atheists say they don't know what the Universe came from (no, they don't say it arose from nothing). In place of "I don't know" I put "Deus sive Natura". For the rest I'm pretty much in the same boat with atheists. tgeorgescu (talk) 11:05, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

I was trying to figure out how to email you, but I haven't done that with someone in a long time. I did it with someone here a long time ago... like a decade ago, or something like that. I'd rather not answer your question about whether I'm a JW. Nothing against you, it's just that since I don't really know you I'd rather not divulge personal information. Thank you. I hope you enjoy your time on WP. Take care. I actually even got rid of a lot of those userboxes because they had a lot of outdated information about really old movies from the 2000s that I used to be into. It was cracking me up. Lol. Lighthead ^þ 05:41, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

It's totally fine; I respect your privacy. Thanks for replying me. As for the email stuff, I don't know how to do it the "normal way" either lol. What I did was to type en.wikipedia.org/Special:Email/Lighthead into my address bar. If you wanted to email me, the appropriate address would be en.wikipedia.org/Special:Email/Python Drink.

An article you recently created, Susan Pwajok, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Ovinus (talk) 06:43, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

:{{ping|Ovinus}} I do admit the article lacked citations. I was too quick to publish because I was confident I'd find enough sources. Thanks for informing me, I guess -- Python Drink (talk) 17:22, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

File:Ambox warning blue.svg Thanks for uploading :File:Susan Pwajok Instagram Photo, May 2022.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:26, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on :Draft:Duckrolling requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

G13, most recent edit before mine was made by a sock, most likely to prevent this from being deleted.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=Draft%3ADuckrolling|deleting administrator}}, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 19:55, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
