Welcome!

ANI
There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Anders Feder (talk) 08:22, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
User page
I have blanked your user page per WP:UP#PROMO. Please read and understand Misplaced Pages:User pages before adding it again. Viriditas (talk) 21:10, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. I noticed that your user page may not meet Misplaced Pages's user page guideline. If you believe that your user page does not violate our guideline, please leave a note on this page. Alternatively you may add {{Db-userreq}} to the top of the page in question and an administrator will delete it, or you can simply edit the page so that it meets Misplaced Pages's user page guideline. Thank you. Viriditas (talk) 03:10, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
- @Viriditas: I remember I had asked an experienced muslim Wikipedian about whether or not my user page violates WP:UPNOT. And he told me that it doesn't! Apparently Misplaced Pages allows some description of our personal beliefs on our page. And as for the movie, I have no connection or commercial ties with it. The movie was just recently released in Iran and Canada and it has received many positive reviews. And I thought it can help to counter the wave of Islamophobia in the West. And this has actually been one of the motives of the movie's producers. And that's also why I thought it is useful to share it on my page. However if it qualifies for "blatant" promotion I have no protest. But I really don't have any commercial relation with that! Strivingsoul (talk) 03:29, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for the ping. I can't help but notice that in every comment you make and in every discussion, you appeal to an authority outside yourself for guidance, instruction, and insight. I'm genuinely curious, do you ever have your own thoughts and ideas, and do you ever think for yourself without appealing to other people or ideas? I don't mean to offend you, I just wonder if you have ever studied critical thinking and have applied critical analysis to your own beliefs. Viriditas (talk) 04:04, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
- @Viriditas: You're not offending me, and, in fact, it is refreshing to get a feed back in this site that is not loaded with personal attacks and prejudices as I had received lately in ANI. But as for your good-faith advice on critical thinking, I should say I have done that extensively and still do in my life. Critical thinking is not something to ever get enough of. But as for my beliefs, I've been studying both Modern and traditional thoughts for the last 10 years of my life. I have a wide interest in religion, philosophy, politics, economics and history, and through my studies I've learned about a myriad of different philosophical and ideological schools. But above all I've been blessed to be born in Iran and learn about a widely unknown philosophical/cultural heritage, i.e. the Shia Iranian cutlural heritage. So perhaps that's what makes me a little (or maybe very) different!
- But as for your allegation of appeal to authority I don't see what example -- other than my above-mentioned appeal to a user to give me a perspective on an issue which is more or less influenced by subjective factors -- might have given you the impression that I appeal to authority "in every comment and in every discussion"! I thought his feedback was useful as he is more familiar with the general mainstream atmosphere in English Misplaced Pages and how my user page could be perceived and interpreted by the average Wikipedian in relation to WP:UP#PROMO.

- It is generally considered civil and polite to engage a user before you blank their user page.--Adam in MO Talk 03:52, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
