I do not know. Whoever puts a userbox "I support slavery" on their user page on
the English Wikipedia invites a fast block does not matter what their edits in the
articles are.
I do not think there is a universal answer to this question.

But was there something in the editing. People should be free to say FREE TIBET in their
user pages, for instance but can be really reasonable editors.
In a way, we are also unbiased and neutral point of view is something we all look upto but
can never trully achieve.

The problem is which political opinions would be acceptable on a user page, and who gets
to decide this. We are expected to edit neutrally, so expressing a political opinion on a
user page could be considered a declaration of partisanship which could extend to editing
behaviour.

Just seeking clarity:
Is there anything wrong with expressing a political opinion on a userpage?
A lot of our badges, flags, icons might have some or the other political history behind
them, just that these are seen as more "normal" by today's standards. At one
time, slavery too was considered quite legal.
Can't this be discussed in the public domain?

Dear 4nn1|2,
Thank you for informing us about the incident. But to be clear: You write that it's
about a Palestinian flag. Yet actually it's about a flag with a statement: free
Palestine. There's a difference. And a member of the Persian Wikipedia removed the
deletion request on Commons and kept the file on the same day. I'm not judging
anything here, but please be more precise in your accusations.
Thank you,
Gereon

Dear Wikimedians,
Persian Wikipedia has reached a new level in their arbitrary and nonesense adminship. They
have blocked me for placing a Palestinian flag on my userpage (of course they have already
removed it from my userpage and you need to see a previous revision of my userpage).
https://fa.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%DA%A9%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%A8%D8%B1…
Another user has nominated the file for deletion on Commons!
I am admin on Commons myself and I'm fed up with how fawiki is managed. They block
users for the most friviolous reasons.
What does this mean?
Yours faithfully,
User:4nn1l2
