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 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)

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)
