I am unsure what you last edit summery was talking about, but we do not allow racism. Slatersteven (talk) 16:05, 10 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Huh. I am just a person that despises use of public property for protests for an extended period of time. A month is enough to get the message heard. Imaginie (talk) 16:13, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
 * What? Slatersteven (talk) 16:26, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Forget it, why am I here debating with a foreign national ignorant about the riots. Imaginie (talk) 16:43, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
 * You are not debating, your reply told me nothing, what does it mean? You do actually have to explain what you want to do and why. At the article talk page (see WP:ONUS and wp:consensus). Slatersteven (talk) 16:48, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

And please read wp:editwar. Slatersteven (talk) 16:26, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

 * Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
 * It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
 * If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
 * Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
 * When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
 * If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.

Happy editing! Cheers, Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 06:13, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

Sar tan se juda
Dear Imaginie, Yes welcome to Wikipedia. I read your mission statement on your recently published user page. (See here)Not knowing what the expression in boldface, “sar tan se juda,” meant, I checked on Google Translate and out popped “severed head.”

Are you suggesting that you fear that questioning Islam can result in the beheading of the questioner? Please confirm and please do so in a less formal linguistic register&mdash;lowered, perhaps to my more commonplace English, not unlike, say, the rough and ready style you employed in your reply to Slatersteven above. I am not able to do much more editing on a phone but will look forward to your reply upon my return home and to a desktop on August 16th. Best regards, Fowler&amp;fowler  «Talk»  12:06, 11 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Yes, ever heard of blasphemy. Imaginie (talk) 12:22, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Please confirm in simple language without passing the buck to links.
 * What is it you might fear sitting in the Gar in the Mecca hill where the first words of the Qu’ran were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad, that you will not sitting in the forthcoming temple in Ajudhya, where the Lord Rama was born in the Treta yuga, long before anatomically modern humans had separated from their primate cousins in Africa. What is a sentence of blasphemy that you will be able to utter in that temple but not in the cave where your only audience might be the cave’s cats, as they were during our family’s visit?

 * I do not abuse freedom of speech to torment individuals who hold religious beliefs, engaging in verbal assaults. I hold their dignity in the highest regard. If they are not receptive to criticism, they are free to leave, and I would not be hounding them for who they are. I condemn radicals across all faiths; even radical Hindus, offended as demonstrated by the Kali poster controversy, are swift to react. However, it's important to note that unlike Jihadis who have prominently occupied my user page as a prime example of religious extremism, radicals from other faiths rarely, if ever, resort to murder in response.
 * I would like to share a quote from the beloved of the Devas, Salman Rushdie: we cannot allow religious hooligans to place limiting points on thought. Imaginie (talk) 15:23, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I wasn't born to disrupt places of worship, where people seek peace, quiet, and inner solace. These are not the appropriate forums for raising criticisms which are havens of tranquility and respite for the religious. If you have the mental caliber, you might be able to address the question yourself by comparing the responses to the Charlie Hebdo cartoons and the film poster featuring Goddess Kali.
