Your sandbox

Can you explain the meaning behind the contents of User:Prins van Oranje/sandbox ? Are the names you have placed in the infobox of real-life people? This could possibly be construed as a threat, if the person next to whose name you have placed a skull and bones and labeled them "executed" is someone you have a personal connection to.

Josh Scholey is a friend from my school. We play an online game called total war together, where you command armies. I made that joke battle to show that he is really bad at the game (since his five million soldiers couldn't defeat my 9 soldiers). I will remove it now if you don't like it. Prins van Oranje 20:48, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That would be wise, yes, thank you. ValarianB (talk) 21:20, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I removed those edits Prins van Oranje 22:26, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Vandalism"

Hallo Prins—thanks for sticking up for me. It seems unlikely that anything would come of it, but it was a rather startling message to have received! 76.94.209.63 (talk) 17:02, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah no problem dude, if you look on his user contributions he seems to issue countless vandalism warning for no reason, you're fine. Prins van Oranje 17:03, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

February 2021

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Russia are for discussion related to improving (a) an encyclopedia article in specific ways based on reliable sources or (b) project policies and guidelines. They are not for general discussion about the article topic or unrelated topics, or statements based on your thoughts or feelings. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.

Alright, thanks. Prins van Oranje 14:43, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

AfC notification: Draft:2021 Bahrain Grand Prix has a new comment

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:2021 Bahrain Grand Prix. Thanks! –Novem Linguae (talk) 20:10, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: 2021 Bahrain Grand Prix (February 27)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

See comments of reviewer. Please resubmit a few days before the auto race.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:2021 Bahrain Grand Prix and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:2021 Bahrain Grand Prix, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Sandbox

I see that you have been adviced earlier about the use of your sandbox. Looking at its history, it seems that you have used it quite a lot, but seemingly not so much for experimenting towards planned edits as for some sort of personal entertainment. That may be harmless, but let me remind you that Wikipedia is not a webhost, see WP:NOTWEBHOST, and that it is not meant for storing content unrelated to Wikipedia, see WP:UPNOT. I register that you are either "Semi-retired" or "Retired" (depending on whether to believe the User page or the User talk page), and I see you are telling that you will mostly only edit your sandbox. Then it is easy to conclude that you intend to use Wikipedia mainly for things that really have nothing to do with Wikipedia. Not really a very big problem if you keep it at a moderate scale.

However: The content of the sandbox just for the moment is more than a little worrisome. Both the "infobox" and the "article" contain "information" that could easily be interpreted as hateful or spiteful. I suggest that you abstain from using the sandbox in this way, if at all. --T*U (talk) 00:54, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Okay Prins van Oranje 09:48, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As I have said above, Wikipedia is not a webhost, neither is it a tool for playing Modern Warfare or other games for your entertainment. Please stop your nonsense use of Wikipedia now. --T*U (talk) 22:50, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Okay.Prins van Oranje 08:34, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
