Welcome!

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. Below are a few other good links for newcomers:

Important notice: gender-related controversies

{{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.

Why I believe in God

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)

Hey, PD

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. <b><span style="color:#CCCC00;">'''Lighthead'''</span></b> <sup>þ</sup> 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 ↗.
Edit (Jul 28): {{ping|Lighthead}} I forgot to ping you, my bad --

Susan Pwajok ↗ moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Susan Pwajok ↗, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable ↗, independent sources ↗. <small>(? ↗)</small> 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 "<code>Draft:</code>" 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)

Orphaned non-free image File:Susan Pwajok Instagram Photo, May 2022.jpg

35px|text-top|left|⚠|link= ↗ 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)

An RfC ↗ on the banners for the December 2022 fundraising campaign has been closed.

20px|alt= ↗ '''Technical news'''

A new preference named "Enable limited width mode" has been added to the Vector 2022 skin ↗. The preference is also shown as a toggle on every page if your monitor is 1600 pixels or wider. When disabled it removes the whitespace added by Vector 2022 on the left and right of the page content. Disabling this preference has the same effect as enabling the wide-vector-2022 ↗ gadget.

20px|alt= ↗ '''Arbitration'''

Eligible users ↗ are invited to vote on candidates ↗ for the Arbitration Committee until 23:59 December 12, 2022 (UTC). Candidate statements can be seen here ↗.

The proposed decision ↗ for the 2021-22 review of the discretionary sanctions system ↗ is open.

The arbitration case ''Reversal and reinstatement of Athaenara's block ↗'' has been closed.

'''Tech tip''': A single IPv6 connection usually has access to a "subnet" of 18 quintillion IPs. Add <code>/64</code> to the end of an IP in Special:Contributions ↗ to see all of a subnet's edits, and consider blocking the whole subnet ↗ rather than an IP that may change within a minute.

Speedy deletion ↗ nomination of :Draft:Duckrolling ↗

48px|left|alt=|link= ↗

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

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

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 ↗.  ― <b style="background:#0d1125;color:#51aeff;padding:1q;border-radius:5q;">Blaze Wolf</b><sup>Talk</sup><sub title="Discord Username" style="margin-left:-22q;">Blaze Wolf#6545</sub> 19:55, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

20px|alt= ↗ '''Guideline and policy news'''

Following an RfC ↗, editors indefinitely site-banned by community consensus ↗ will now have all rights, including sysop, removed.

As a part of the Wikimedia Foundation's IP Masking ↗ project, a new policy has been created ↗ that governs the access to temporary account IP addresses. An associated FAQ ↗ has been created and individual communities can increase the requirements to view temporary account IP addresses.

20px|alt= ↗ '''Technical news'''

Bot operators and tool maintainers should schedule time in the coming months to test and update their tools for the effects of IP masking ↗. IP masking will not be deployed to any content wiki until ''at least'' October 2023 and is unlikely to be deployed to the English Wikipedia until some time in 2024.

20px|alt= ↗ '''Arbitration'''

The arbitration case ''World War II and the history of Jews in Poland ↗'' has been closed. The topic area of Polish history during World War II (1933-1945) and the history of Jews in Poland is subject to a "reliable source consensus-required" contentious topic restriction.

20px|alt= ↗ '''Miscellaneous'''

Following a community referendum ↗, the arbitration policy ↗ has been modified to remove the ability for users to appeal remedies to {{noping|Jimbo Wales}}.

Following an RFC ↗, the policy on restoration of adminship ↗ has been updated. All former administrators may now only regain the tools following a request at the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard ↗ within 5 years of their most recent admin action. Previously this applied only to administrators deysopped for inactivity.

Following a request for comment ↗, a new speedy deletion criterion, T5 ↗, has been enacted. This applies to template subpages that are no longer used.

20px|alt= ↗ '''Technical news'''

Technical volunteers can now register for the 2025 Wikimedia Hackathon ↗, which will take place in Istanbul, Turkey. Application for travel and accommodation scholarships ↗ is open from November 12 to December 10, 2024.

20px|alt= ↗ '''Arbitration'''

The arbitration case ''Yasuke ↗'' (formerly titled ''Backlash to diversity and inclusion ↗'') has been closed.

An arbitration case titled ''Palestine-Israel articles 5 ↗'' has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case will close on 14 December.

Following an RfC ↗, administrator elections ↗ were permanently authorized on a five-month schedule. The next election will be scheduled soon; see Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections ↗ for more information. This is an alternate process to the RfA process ↗ and does not replace the latter.

An RfC ↗ was closed with consensus to allow editors to opt-out of seeing "sticky decorative elements". Such elements should now be wrapped in {{t|sticky decoration wrapper}}. Editors who wish to opt out can follow the instructions at WP:STICKYDECO ↗.

An RfC ↗ has resulted in a broad prohibition ↗ on the use of AI-generated images in articles. A few common-sense exceptions are recognized.

Administrators' newsletter – July 2025

Following a talk page discussion ↗, speedy deletion criterion G13 ↗ has been amended ↗ to remove "Userspace with no content except the article wizard ↗ placeholder text."

WP:Manual of Style/Superscripts and subscripts ↗ was upgraded to a guideline following a RfC discussion ↗.

The 2025 Developing Countries WikiContest ↗ will run from 1{{nbsp}}July to 30{{nbsp}}September. '''Sign up now ↗'''!

Administrator elections ↗ will take place this month. Administrator elections are an alternative to RFA ↗ that is a gentler process for candidates due to secret voting and multiple people running together. The call for candidates is July 9–15, the discussion phase is July 18–22, and the voting phase is July 23–29. Get ready to submit your candidacy, or (with their consent) to nominate a talented candidate!

20px|alt= ↗ '''Guideline and policy news'''

Following a request for comment ↗, a new speedy deletion criterion, G15 ↗, has been enacted. It applies to pages generated by a large language model ↗ (LLM) without human review.

Following a request for comment ↗, there is a new policy ↗ outlining the granting of permissions to view the IP addresses of temporary accounts ↗. Temporary account deployment on the English Wikipedia is currently scheduled for September 2025, and editors can request access to the permission ↗ ahead of time. Admins are encouraged to keep an eye on the request page; there will likely be a flood of editors requesting the permission when they realize they can no longer see IP addresses.

20px|alt= ↗ '''Technical news'''

Administrators can now restrict the "Add a Link" feature to newcomers. The "Add a Link" ↗ Structured Task helps new account holders get started with editing ↗. Administrators can configure this setting in the Community Configuration ↗ page.

20px|alt= ↗ '''Arbitration'''

The arbitration case ''Indian military history ↗'' has been closed.

* South Asia (WP:CT/SA ↗) is designated a contentious topic ↗. The topic area is specifically defined as {{tq|All pages related to the region of South Asia ↗ (India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal), broadly construed, including but not limited to history, politics, ethnicity, and social groups.}}

* The contentious topic designations for Sri Lanka ↗ (SL) and India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan ↗ (IPA) are folded into this new contentious topic.

* The community-authorized general sanctions regarding South Asian social groups ↗ (GS/CASTE) are rescinded and folded into this new contentious topic.

The arbitration case ''Article titles and capitalisation 2 ↗'' has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case closed on 31 July.

The arbitration case ''Transgender healthcare and people ↗'' has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case will close on 11 August.

20px|alt= ↗ '''Miscellaneous'''

Replaceable non-free use File:Benjamin Christopher Flores at Fear Street Premiere.jpeg

32px|left ↗
Thanks for uploading ''':File:Benjamin Christopher Flores at Fear Street Premiere.jpeg ↗'''. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use ↗. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion ↗. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have ''no free equivalent''; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

# Go to the file description page ↗ and add the text {{Tlx|Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} '''below''' the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <code><your reason></code> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
# On the file's talk page ↗, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license ↗, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:Contributions|target=Python_Drink&namespace=6}} this link]</span>. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy ↗. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page ↗. Thank you.  Whpq (talk) 15:15, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

:Hi, {{ping|Whpq}}. Thanks for expressing your concern. I do know the rules. Trust me when I say that I scavenged the web for a CC by SA photo. I found nothing. — Python Drink (talk) 17:55, 3 December 2025 (UTC)
::To satisfy WP:NFCC#1 ↗, it must not only not have any existing free replacement, it must also the case that a free replacement cannot be created. For a living person, a free image could be created even if one doesn't currently exist. -- Whpq (talk) 18:01, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

All general sanctions ↗ imposed by the community may now be enforced at the Arbitration Enforcement noticeboard ↗ (WP:AE ↗) as a result of a recent RfC ↗.

Due to the result of a recent RFC ↗, the administrator recall ↗ process is amended to extend the deadline for a re-request for adminship to 30 days or the next administrator election ↗, whichever is later.

Changes ↗ to the Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy ↗'s disclosure rules include broadening the consecutive-blocks exception to cover all admin actions and removing the requirement to revision-delete permissible disclosures once they become unnecessary (instead requiring only their removal). See WP:TAIVDISCLOSE ↗ for more information.

20px|alt= ↗ '''Arbitration'''

Following the 2025 Arbitration Committee elections ↗, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: {{noping|Aoidh}}, {{noping|Asilvering}}, {{noping|Girth Summit}}, {{noping|Guerillero}}, {{noping|HJ Mitchell}}, {{noping|HouseBlaster}}, {{noping|Izno}}, {{noping|Sdrqaz}}, {{noping|SilverLocust}}.

The arbitration case ''Pbsouthwood ↗'' has been suspended.

Your post on User talk:Roxy the dog

I don't understand what you mean by telling User:Roxy the dog, on their ''own'' page, to "go away" ↗. It's a pretty strange thing to say to the page owner. Was it possibly a misunderstanding based on Roxy having a misleading sig ("Walter Ego"), so that you didn't know who you were talking to? In any case, please don't call anybody you're on poor terms with "dude". It's aggressive. Bishonen | tålk 10:51, 14 January 2026 (UTC).
:I asked you a question; now that you're editing, I'd appreciate a reply. Additionally, I notice your intention to continue editing on User talk:Roxy the dog 'to your heart's content' even though they've asked you to stop. Really? If you post there again, other than to apologize, you will be blocked for harassment. Bishonen | tålk 22:30, 14 January 2026 (UTC).
::Didn't even notice this until now for whatever reason. Well here's your reply: never come to my talk page please. Thanks. — Python Drink (talk) 11:14, 8 February 2026 (UTC)

I notice you have ignored my warning ↗. Bishonen | tålk 18:53, 15 January 2026 (UTC).

{{unblock reviewed|reason=

:Main defense

:I just discovered this to my utter astonishment. WP:HA ↗'s nutshell reads: {{tqb|Do not stop other editors from enjoying Wikipedia by making threats, repeated annoying and unwanted contacts, repeated personal attacks, intimidation, or posting personal information.}} I think it is pretty unambiguous that I didn't make threats, didn't make personal attacks, didn't intimidate anyone, or post personal information. The only plausible option is "repeating annoying and unwanted contacts."

:* I'm going through Roxy's talk page as I write this and I'll concede that he did tell me to "go away and stop wasting my time. ↗" I overlooked that somehow. Had I noticed it, I would have backed off of Roxy's page because I do not like engaging in drama, especially not on a site like Wikipedia. From now onward, I'll never leave any input on Roxy's talk page.

:* Now onto certain expressions I used that might have given you suspicion that I was engaging in harassment:

:** ''Absurd'': I almost never use that term pejoratively, online or offline. What I meant when I used that term is simply that what was stated is contrary to what I know so far from experience, (but not necessarily false) ↗.

:** ''Hint: …'': this, too, was not meant to be insulting, but I understand how it might have come off that that way. I use the expression to help someone understand my point, regardless of my mood at the time. You can find evidence of this by scanning through my Instagram Threads profile.

:** ''Pathetic'', ''go away'': it may seem facetious but I didn't intend any ill will behind those. But I will not use them again on Wikipedia.

:** ''I'll talk here to my heart's content'': I think this should be understood in light of the fact that I didn't know that Roxy had told me I was not welcome to his page. But this, too, will never again be part of my on-wiki lingo.

:Crucial observations

:* Your messages here are temporally separated by only two minutes

:* Your comment that I ignored a warning ''succeeds'' the block message

:* The very first message you left here was posted over one hour after my last comment to Roxy's page was made

:* I actually just noticed that you indeed left a warning in the morning. My phone was switched off and plugged in somewhere else while I was at lectures. I can provide conclusive evidence of this by showing you my device usage data. Just give the word.

:* When I got back from lectures late in the afternoon, I didn't notice your warning. Wikipedia didn't notify me, or perhaps I somehow missed it.

:Given those, suffice it to say that I haven't tried to defy you in anyway.

:Additional commentary

:* I didn't notice this before, but could this statement here ↗ be sensibly taken as an attempt to annoy me?

:Looking forward to a timely response, [Python Drink (talk) 22:26, 15 January 2026 (UTC)|decline=Your harassment is unacceptable, and you are fortunate that the block was 31 hours. The idea that you can say whatever you want to another person on their own talk page and tell them to go away from their own talk page is incomptatible with this project. You need to respect the wishes of a user on their own talk page. 331dot (talk) 20:35, 16 January 2026 (UTC)}}

::I have difficulty understanding the relevance of your "crucial observations". Two of my messages are separated by only two minutes — yes, what about it? My comment that you ignored my warning succeeds the block message? Yes. That comment was ancillary to the block message and was an attempt to make sure you understood why I blocked you. My warning itself, ''linked'' in the comment, precedes my block message by some 8 hours. The very first message I left here you say was posted over one hour after your last comment to Roxy's page was made — huh? Not at all, pure misreading or fabrication on your part. This ↗ was my first message here, and this ↗ was your last comment on Roxy's page (containing a strange interpretation of what "go away" means when you say it). They're both timestamped. Bishonen | tålk 23:18, 15 January 2026 (UTC).
:::{{tqb|I have difficulty understanding the relevance of your "crucial observations".}}
:::They're meant to establish that this was unexpected to me, that I didn't ignore anything, that I'm innocent of the charge that resulted in my block. Hence the " … suffice it to say …"
:::{{Tqb|My warning itself, linked in the comment, precedes my block message by some 8 hours. The very first message I left here you say was posted over one hour after your last comment to Roxy's page was made — huh? Not at all, pure misreading or fabrication on your part.}}
:::You're basically correct. I was generating that stuff on the fly as though I was talking to you in real time hence the textual conflict. Sorry about that. I also already told you I didn't notice your warning. And I can prove it if you request the data. It was nether misreading nor fabrication. It was an oversight. We can get a checkuser to match what's on Wikipedia's end to my not-yet-alleged device usage data. If only you'd engage with what I actually said that's crucial establishing my view.
:::{{Tqb|… containing a strange interpretation of what "go away" means when you say it.}}
:::Is it really strange though? How often is it that when someone uses that expression on the Internet to another Internet user, they mean for the person to actually abandon the relevant web page rather than simply not interacting with them no more? ↗ — Python Drink (talk) 02:31, 16 January 2026 (UTC)
::I urge any admin reviewing the unblock request to read User talk:Roxy the dog#Incorrect Reversion, and balance a plain reading of ''that'', with the unblock request rationale. --Tryptofish (talk) 23:29, 15 January 2026 (UTC)
331dot
:{{Tqb|The idea that you can say whatever you want to another person on their own talk page …}}
:I didn't have that idea though. That is an assumption I see no reason to grant.
:{{Tqb|… and tell them to go away from their own talk page is incomptatible with this project.}}
:Now you're just straight up misrepresenting me even though it's plain from the original conversation and this thread that I don't didn't do that.
:{{Tqb|You need to respect the wishes of a user on their own talk page.}}
:And that's exactly the kind of person I am. I've stated that if I had noticed Roxy's telling me I'm not welcome, I would have not gone there again. I have presented a great deal o circumstantial evidence for this and also for the assertion that I was at lectures and didn't have my phone on me. Even my user page and its edit history is circumstantial evidence. For example, my talking to Roxy at that time of the day was very unusual. My edits are usually made between sunset and midnight (UTC + 01:00}. That's also the period when my edits are most clustered. Another: I rarely engage in discussions here, so I don't have much of an incentive to be emotionally committed to one, let alone lash at another editor. I have also offered to present direct evidence. I'm holding back because I don't wanna share sensitive data for nothing. Yet I repeatedly get the feeling that I'm simply being ignored. The messages I get from both admins here give me the impression that my appeal message and follow-ups weren't even read and that the verdict message was post hoc. — Python Drink (talk) 21:18, 16 January 2026 (UTC)

:You may make a new request for someone else to review, but I doubt that such a review will happen before the block expires. 331dot (talk) 22:05, 16 January 2026 (UTC)

:Glad you did. Thank you haha. To address the concern you left on uour user page, it does get easier. On Wikipedia, you can do things at your own pace. Nobody's gonna penalize for not being very proficient simply because of how long you've been here. — Python Drink (talk) 05:01, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

Changes to user permissions made from Meta are now included in the local user permissions log (T6055 ↗).

The autoconfirmed ↗ user group will soon be modified such that the four-day account age requirement begins when an account makes its first edit (T418484 ↗).

20px|alt= ↗ '''Arbitration'''

The arbitration case ''SchroCat ↗'' has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case closed on 15 April.

Per a recent motion ↗, appeals of blocks from the conflict-of-interest VRT queue ↗ are, by default, appealed on-wiki through the normal unblock process. However, they may be heard by the Committee if COIVRTers disagree on the interpretation of the evidence or believe ArbCom would be better suited to hear the appeal. Administrators are also advised that loosening or lifting such blocks without the consent of someone with access to the queue or ArbCom can be grounds for desysopping.

Per a recent motion ↗, restrictions issued directly by the Committee may now be enforced with blocks which work exactly like contentious topic blocks.

The arbitration case ''Maghreb ↗'' has been closed.

class=skin-invert|20px|alt= ↗ '''Miscellaneous'''

The May 2026 administrator elections ↗ are scheduled to run from April 29 to May 19. The call for candidates ↗ ends May 5.
