25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Welcome to Wikipedia ↗ and thank you for your contributions ↗. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule ↗, talk pages such as Where's Wally? ↗ are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways based on reliable sources ↗ and the project policies and guidelines ↗, not for general discussion ↗ about the topic or unrelated topics, or statements based on your thoughts or feelings. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk ↗ and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you. TheSameGuy (talk) 01:55, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
:My apologies. I'm still unfamiliar with Wikipedia, and merely wished to express my thanks that UK-related articles use British English, as they should. Devgirl (talk) 01:51, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
Hi Devgirl. Can you source your claim that Tommy Robinson lives with you? Thanks. - Little Bee.※²↑↓→¤※»«©®β℃◎:-P:’-(※◎○●○:-P◎※※※.
::Thanks to User:NeilN, who reverted this troll comment rapidly. However, I think it should remain, so that others can see the kind of comments that certain sad, small people leave on others' talk pages for no reason ;) Devgirl (talk) 02:49, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

Hello Devgirl.

:Yeah he deleted the video but I've added a source to a still from it until someone can find the video. Devgirl (talk) 18:26, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
::I removed the material again. An independent ↗ and reliable ↗ source is required that demonstrates clear encyclopedic value ↗ and due weight ↗. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 20:30, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
:::Actually, per WP:Twitter ↗ it is not. I've noted this on the article talk page, and on your talk page, but you have proceeded with your false reasoning. You are therefore deleting sourced material from the article without having a consensus to do so, and with no legitimate BLP argument. BLP is not a "Get Out of Jail Free Card", your edits are not immune from reversion simply because you claim a BLP violation where there is none. You need to restore the material and answer my objections on the article talk page. Beyond My Ken (talk) 23:08, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
::::I'm afraid you're not making any sense, Beyond My Ken. Please keep the discussion on the article talk page. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 19:35, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
