Happy editing! Justiyaya 18:39, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
- Not sure if this is an automated message or actually hand written but either way thank you for this. These links will prove helpful I am sure. Thanks again StopSayingMyth (talk) 18:41, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
- Welcome messages are done by template, we don't really handtype them for every account, but mostly only real users (not bots) put welcome templates on user talk pages, so I am a real human :D noticed the teahouse thread and decided to leave a message, good luck here and yeah the links helped a lot when I was starting editing Justiyaya 18:45, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
- Glad to know there are some kind people on this site. Thanks for taking the time to welcome me.
- I am sadly experiencing a lot of discrimination and bias right now on the Hindu mythology page and debating whether I want to continue with this community....Is there anyone who can be contacted about this? StopSayingMyth (talk) 18:52, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
- No, it is not discrimination nor bias, as established at the bottom of the page, we do the same for other religions too. The relevant policy is WP:COMMONNAME which establishes that the most commonly used name for a subject should be the article title, which is the case in this situation. I do not believe there is any issue in relation with the article title. Any resolution concurring with your argument is highly unlikely. I suggest that you drop the issue and work on other aspects of the encyclopedia (see WP:Task). Justiyaya 19:11, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
- Well systemic discrimination is worse. I hope all people can stop being demeaned at some point but for now all I can do is try to cause change on the pages that are important to me. Hopefully more of us will stop being initimidated by the cleanliness of this site and it can be more like a community and less of people in higher places enforcing discrimination "equally".

- Wikipedia is a community. That's why things are decided via consensus. You're welcome to try and establish consensus to change the names of all those pages from "mythology" to "stories". But your solitary opinion that it should be changed, regardless of whatever reason you believe it should, is not going to be enough. WPscatter t/c 19:38, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
- Hey a reasonable response wow. Glad to see this. Thank you for your understanding. I suppose then this is a very good goal you have described, to try to establish consensus among the people on this site and get the word changed. I have been calm, civil, and looking for unity since I arrived and I will continue to pursue this goal in the same manner. I think no one should be discriminated against, even those we don't like. StopSayingMyth (talk) 20:52, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
- Keep in mind, @StopSayingMyth, that part of civil discussion is to acknowledge when you've lost the battle and stop belaboring the point. WPscatter t/c 21:17, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

- If the notifier has not provided a reason for the violation then I do not need to provide a reason to defend myself. Please dismiss this biased complaint, thank you StopSayingMyth (talk) 20:54, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
- It doesn't violate any username policy, but it does betray your intent as a single purpose account and you will likely be blocked soon because you keep pushing the same point that you have been repeatedly told is nonsense. WPscatter t/c 21:15, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
- If it doesn't violate any username policy than maybe you should go get some fresh air instead of obsessing over me and my username choices ;) StopSayingMyth (talk) 21:26, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
