Atheism statements

Thank you for your contribution. I noticed that much of it is adding statement in biographical articles that a person was an atheist. This information is referenced to two generic websites. Whereas it is definitely good to add available sourced info to Wikipedia, I do not think such blank addition is appropriate. Usually, it is pretty difficult to say whether a person is an atheist, an agnostic, or is religions but does not state it openly. Additionally, the religious views sometimes change. We can only know for sure if the person admits it themselves, and even then sometimes they are not to be taken seriously. Therefore adding this info requires an exceptionally good sources and may only be appropriate with a reference to specialized biographic info, for example, a book about a person, where such statements would be referenced and analyzed. This is definitely within the spirit of WP:EXCEPTIONAL, WP:WEIGHT, and WP:YESPOV. I will revert some of your lates edits. If you have good arguments why such additions are a good idea and do not contradict our policies, a good way to proceed would be to open a request for comment, for example, at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy). Thanks again.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:58, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

Just to make it clear, I am not reverting your edits where those are well cited, e.g. to biographies published by respected publishing houses.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:01, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

Request reason:

This account was blocked for sock-puppetry, I did indeed make alternate accounts, but the purpose of those was to try out a new account and eventually retire this one. I had simply grown tired of this account and wanted a new one, especially with a different name. When looking at my alternate accounts, there are barely any edits on either of them and none of them were used for vandalism, edit wars, or to circumvent Wikipedia policies. I now understand that I should have retired this one first and not created more than one alternate account. However, I would still, very much, like to continue to edit and contribute to Wikipedia. Because of this, I sincerely request that this account be unblocked. Thank you.

Decline reason:

This was a pretty blatant violation. You set up other accounts to edit the same articles, and used ThePromenader (at least) to launch extreme personal attacks against someone else. "none of them were used (...) to circumvent Wikipedia policies" really? Doesn't look that way from here. Best we leave you blocked. Yamla (talk) 11:02, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
