The Crimean War

[edit]

Dear Sir Slatersteven,

I noticed you reverted my edit that added the line about the significant Irish contribution to the British military during the Crimean War. Your comment indicating 'UNure we need this undo' suggests you may have had some uncertainty about undoing this edit.

Notably, History Ireland is a reputable publication that provides well-researched articles on historical topics, often written by historians and experts in the field. It is considered a reliable secondary source, which aligns with Wikipedia's standards for citations.

I believe this detail is relevant and important to include, as it highlights the substantial Irish participation and role in the conflict. Could you please reconsider adding this line back in? I'm happy to discuss further and provide any additional context or justification for including this information.

Thank you for your consideration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mohammed Shahidullah-Bin-Anwar (talk • contribs) 17:13, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion review for Ed Winters

[edit]

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Ed Winters. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Gottagotospace (talk) 14:41, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did not close it. Slatersteven (talk) 14:46, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You were involved in the discussion though, so I figured I should let you know. Gottagotospace (talk) 14:48, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Vietnam War

[edit]

I think in the Vietnam war infobox, we can change communist’s casualties from from “1,100,000” to “680,000 - 1,100,000 (of which, 30-40% were non-combat dead” (because we don’t know how many dead, thus we need the range of estimate, and 30-40% is signification rate). Can you help me?27.3.144.156 (talk) 10:47, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We go by what reliable sources say, do you have any sources? Slatersteven (talk) 11:17, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You can read here [1] - “ According to figures released by the Vietnamese government there were 849,018 confirmed military deaths on the PAVN/VC side during the war.[26][27]... Non-combat deaths account for 30 to 40% of these figures”2001:EE0:4A62:3AE0:400A:675B:670:D73B (talk) 13:36, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
849,018 is not 680,000, also that is not an RS. Slatersteven (talk) 13:38, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ok, we can change communist’s casualties from from “1,100,000” to “850,000 - 1,100,000 (of which, 30-40% were non-combat dead”. Source: Moyar, Mark. "Triumph Regained: The Vietnam War, 1965–1968."

Tommy Robinson RV

[edit]

Would prefer not to double RV, but I've finished opening the talk page topic on Talk:Tommy Robinson, if that was your sole reason to RV then the issue has since been resolved. BrigadierG (talk) 13:23, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

THen wait for it to conclude. Slatersteven (talk) 13:44, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2nd Tommy Robinson RV

[edit]

The two sources cited in that section do not make the claim that EDL supporters are hooligans. BrigadierG (talk) 11:50, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Again take this to the talk page. Slatersteven (talk) 11:54, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Juneteenth

[edit]

The emancipation proclamation was finally enforced when three-fourths of the remaining states ratified it on December 6, 1865. Thank you. Voyagerinvelo (talk) 17:05, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

THe place for this discussion is the articles talk page. Make a case there, Slatersteven (talk) 17:06, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Which you should have done the first time you were reverted (per wp:brd) rather than waiting a couple of days before revering back, if you do it again you will be reverted again. Slatersteven (talk) 17:16, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. Just at the beginning I added the word “which” as it wasn’t Gordon granger himself that proclaimed it but the law from the order and then I just gave extra info that this wasn’t the final enforcement which you may agree. Voyagerinvelo (talk) 17:35, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also the present sentence doesn’t explain what the emancipation proclamation was for readers to accessibly understand its context I think. Voyagerinvelo (talk) 17:55, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My last word here THe place for this discussion is the articles talk page. Make a case there. Slatersteven (talk) 10:20, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
WP:BPD says talk to you first as one person on your own talk page. Thank you. Voyagerinvelo (talk) 09:26, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
NO BRD says discus, discussions take place on the article talk page so as any involved party there can see it. Its a courtesy to other people who watch that page, this is my last one on this. Slatersteven (talk) 09:40, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

why did you revert the robinson edits?

[edit]

what was written was objectively true, i am not sure why they were removed? getting one of the highest free speech awards and receiving it in the danish parliament is a pretty big deal NotQualified (talk) 17:43, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

oh i see you wrote "not in the lede", i disagree. this is again a very big deal and it warrants being in the lede but i do want to know why you think otherwise cause i might be wrong :D NotQualified (talk) 17:44, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Read wP:lede it is a summery of the article, this is not a major part of our article. Slatersteven (talk) 17:47, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
so if i want to add it to the lede i need to write a longer part for it in the article and summarise it above? i can do that but it would take an hour NotQualified (talk) 17:48, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No, as it needs to be a major part of the article, and this is just one award, so at most needs a line or two (or what you in fact added to the lede (more or less). And this is not the place for this discussion, take it to the articles talk page. Slatersteven (talk) 17:51, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
> so at most needs a line or two (or what you in fact added to the lede (more or less)
wait so i can undo the change and add back what i had written? NotQualified (talk) 17:52, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No, and I have e said why already, I will not repeat myself here, take it to the Articles talk page. Slatersteven (talk) 17:54, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. You reverted my edit on fascism

[edit]

I was being bold. It probably wasn't a constructive edit. I didn't understand your question and why you reverted. Nashhinton (talk) 13:56, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Then ask at then articles talk page, where others can also see the question. Slatersteven (talk) 13:59, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. Nashhinton (talk) 14:12, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I just send this IP's nonsense to the trash, hope that is ok with you (your comment got hit in the crossfire). Looking at the other "contributions" it is unlikely they care about sources. Polygnotus (talk) 13:47, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Joe Biden edit

[edit]

With regards to the edit of Joe Biden recently, I believe that decision was only on the infobox. Not the external links. I didn't see anything with regards to the external links on putting his position of the Newcastle County Council in the discussion page. It appears it was there for awhile before it was taken out without any reason back in March RandomUserGuy1738 (talk) 17:12, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

MAbe, but its is trying to get it in by the back door, so make a case at talk. Slatersteven (talk) 17:17, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

World War 2 - Battle of Britain

[edit]

The text for the Battle of Britain on the main WW2 page does not highlight the significance of the battle. As I said, 3 major AI programs all put it in the top 10 significance events in WW2. Can we work together to improve it? 117PXL (talk) 10:19, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

AI is not an RS, and what it does does not impact us. And this is for the article talk page, take it there. Slatersteven (talk) 10:25, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The discussion was the amount of content, I replace a sentence and explained what the Battle of Britain was, this is helpful for everyone. You seem to have the biggest problem with it reverting originally and again now, so it is helpful to find out what your main objection is? Thanks. 117PXL (talk) 10:32, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As I said, take it to the article talk page, and get wp:consensus. It is down to you to make a case, not down to be (see WP:ONUS}. 10:34, 27 July 2024 (UTC)~~

Demographic research

[edit]

Hi, could you tell me what is wrong with this source? [2]

That made by Hungarian Academy of Science, modern academic sources, an international award winning source [3]. It also attributed properly "according Hungarian historiography" + in relevant demographic research section

https://www.nemzetiatlasz.hu/en/home.html

https://www.mtafki.hu/konyvtar/karpat-pannon2015/en/accompanying_text.html

In Hungarian related articles vast amount of Hungarian sources are provided, in Transylvania article the majority of sources are Hungarian and Romanian sources.

Hi mate, just thought I'd let you know this isn't correct. What you might be thinking of is that they're not allowed to removed declined unblock requests, per WP:BLANKING. Cheers. — Czello (music) 17:27, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reversal of drone fact in Attempted Assassination of Trump article

[edit]

Hi, your edit summary said "maybe i am not seeing the full artigcel I I see nothing about drones not being used."

Maybe you missed these paragraphs:

"That dropped communication was one of several instances where technologies that might have protected Mr. Trump from getting shot on July 13 did not — either because they malfunctioned, were improperly deployed or the Secret Service decided not to use them in the first place.

The Secret Service, for instance, turned down offers to use a surveillance drone at the Butler Farm Show rally site. The agency also did not bring a system to boost the agents’ device signals in an area with poor cellular service. And some of the equipment the agency did bring, including a system to detect drone use by others, did not work when it was most needed. The result was that a 20-year-old gunman had a technological advantage over a $3 billion federal agency.". Please undo your revert. Thanks in advance! Forich (talk) 17:38, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So no then it was not the full article. but please discus this on the article talk page, not here. Slatersteven (talk) 17:43, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"every quote claoing Musk a fuck knuckle"

[edit]

Having listened to the LBC radio show again about Elon Musk, I can find no instance of Thomas Winsor, a lawyer, "claoing Musk a fuck knuckle", whatever that means. I quote from the article's history:

"11:51, 10 August 2024‎ Slatersteven talk contribs‎ 360,834 bytes −886‎ Undid revision 1239610475 by Richard Nowell (talk)uinsure we need every quote claoing Musk a fuck knuckle". https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Elon_Musk&action=history

After deleting my properly researched and credited quote from a senior British arbitrator, mediator, lawyer, consultant and economic regulatory professional 1 minute after my posting it, I can only assume you work for Mr. Musk.

Please reinstate the sentence. Richard Nowell (talk) 11:33, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
