A puppy for you!

Balsam Cottonwood has given you a puppy!

For being a follower of Jesus — and for those useful Christian userboxes you designed. Also, your talk page seems kind of unwelcoming with all those "Orphaned non-free image" notices and stuff, and I wanted to try to lighten it up a little.

Spread the goodness of puppies by adding {{subst:Puppy}} to someone's talk page with a friendly message.

Userbox

I like your userbox, {{User:Paleorthodox/Intelligent design}}. It seems a shame that the article for the link to intelligent design isn't very nice, though. At the very beginning it says, "Intelligent design (ID) is a pseudoscientific argument for the existence of God, presented by its proponents as "an evidence-based scientific theory about life's origins"... etc. I see that someone tried to get them to remove "pseudoscientific" from only the short description template, as you can see here, but the attempts were dismissed and put in a collapsible box marked "Time wasted with claptrap." The world is very disrespectful to its Creator, isn't it? 🌳 Balsam Cottonwood (talk) ✝ 13:12, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

I appreciate your input. Yeah, it's disappointing to see how Wikipedia treats the Creator. I stay off Wikipedia's theology articles because they are more than willing to add false information and remove anything they consider too conservative. Paleorthodox (talk) 04:25, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

Indeed. I thought "neutral" meant... well, neutral! 🌳 Balsam Cottonwood (talk) ✝ 04:28, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

Request reason:

I request for my partial ban to be lifted because I agree to no longer use LLMs on Wikipedia. Paleorthodox (talk) 15:41, 23 April 2026 (UTC)

Accept reason:

I am interpreting the lack of comment by the blocking admin as acquiesceing to removing the block, so I will do so based on your commitment to stop using LLMs. 331dot (talk) 19:08, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
