User talk:174.203.34.41

April 2023
Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contribution(s). I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, while user talk pages permit a small degree of generaliation, other talk pages such as Talk:Zooey Zephyr are strictly for discussing improvements to their associated main pages, and many of them have special instructions on the top. They are not a general discussion forum about the article's topic or any other topic. If you have questions or ideas and are not sure where to post them, consider asking at the Teahouse. Thanks. — SamX &#91;talk · contribs · he/him&#93; 04:37, 27 April 2023 (UTC)


 * No, I do not think that you should either unilaterally close the discussion about any serious matter, nor should you send me a referral to another part of the website... ESPECIALLY since my post was the only one you deleted. This is a particularly perilous move given that "Zooey Zephyr"'s favorite rallying cry is "let her speak", so I would highly recommend restoring my post that I might instead choose not to make a public issue of your own act of censorship. I will only say this to you once. 174.203.34.41 (talk) 04:50, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia's purpose isn't to host freewheeling discussions about article subjects, especially living people; if that's your aim, I recommend that you use Twitter, Reddit, or some other forum. I removed your talk page post because it violated several Wikipedia guidelines: namely WP:NOTFORUM, WP:SOAPBOX and, most crucially, WP:BLPTALK. Insinuating that someone has committed a crime without citing reliable sources is unacceptable. As for the gender/naming issue, that's a settled matter. Widespread community discussion on Wikipedia has resulted in consensus that the deadnames of transgender people should not be publicized if they were not notable under that name, which Zephyr wasn't (see MOS:DEADNAME). I can all but guarantee that other editors would have done as I did, and I advise against further attempts to right great wrongs here on Wikipedia. — SamX &#91;talk · contribs · he/him&#93; 04:59, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
