Category:Transgender non-binary people

Please stop moving people to this category just because they're non-binary. Not all non-binary people specifically identify as transgender, and "I think it's silly" is not a valid reason to controversially mass-move pages. I hate to get involved in controversial topics, but I had to revert these changes since I saw you already made them to multiple pages. If you're going to mass-edit pages like this, I'd suggest making sure there's a consensus in favor before making the changes. And right now, there appears to be a consensus developing against these changes, for precisely this reason. Ionmars10 (talk) 21:32, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Its good if there's a consensus against it. Before there wasn't a consensus at all. That solves the problem.—Naddruf (talk ~ contribs) 21:44, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Dazel Jules moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Dazel Jules, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia), especially in articles about living people. I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" 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.

KirbanzoWould you consider it acceptable if I add the sports-reference link in the references section?—Naddruf (talk ~ contribs) 20:14, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

As long as you also find an additional source to back it up with, sure. Kirbanzo ^{(userpage - talk - contribs)} 20:15, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

@Kirbanzo: That would be two references. There's one already. t —Naddruf (talk ~ contribs) 20:19, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

My Place in the Universe blanked

All right, I've blanked the page and put {{Db-g7}}. This draft has to be deleted, because Diannaa told me 2 years ago that Wikipedia is not a place to collect made-up stuff. Animal Control Abuse (talk) 07:01, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Trump ahead in the electoral college

I figured out a back door. The person who unfriended me on Facebook did not block me from seeing her timeline, so I have this. I did not see an official map showing this but for some reason I imagined I did. There's no link to a web site, except for one that shows Biden as the official winner according to news sources. So there's no reliable source even for a conspiracy theory.

Is it permissible for me to quote the person's Facebook post, so you can see why I thought there was something worth including, had the source been reliable?

"Trump will have 293, it only takes 270 to win. As of now, the Democrats and the media froze the election results to harvest more ballots for at least 5 more states. This is political theater 6 states leaning towards Trump Total count - 80 213+ 80 = 293 3 states lean towards Biden Total count - 21 225 + 21 = 246 Copy and paste"— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 17:43, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

@Vchimpanzee: That information is almost certainly not true, and there is no evidence for it and no reliable source, so it does not belong in a Wikipedia article. In general people can say anything on social media, but that doesn't mean we have to listen to them.—Naddruf (talk ~ contribs) 18:03, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

I thought the person had posted a photo showing these numbers from an actual web site.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 18:26, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

@Vchimpanzee: Not all websites are reliable. Not all websites tell the truth. They could just be making up numbers. —Naddruf (talk ~ contribs) 18:28, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

Yes, I understand this. I saw somewhere that a Youtube video had been taken down which said Trump won. That could have been her source.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 18:17, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
