Why was the question about George Floyd deleted? It was not intended as offensive; it was just a question? — Preceding unsigned comment added by VirginiaBoy (talkcontribs) 19:32, 17 July 2025 (UTC) Forgot to sign VirginiaBoy — Preceding undated comment added 19:36, 17 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Nancy Pelosi article

edit

Hey @Slatersteven! I noticed that you reverted all the edits I had made on the Nancy Pelosi article. I think such a decision warrants a discussion, and, of course, an explanation on your end. Thank you. DannyRogers800 (talk) 13:58, 9 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

I did, i the edit summary. I felt that some of your changes went way beyond what you claimed, so yes it is now down to you to start a conversation at the articles talk page and get consensus. Slatersteven (talk) 14:10, 9 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
I think I gave summaries that were specific enough (for instance, "Added notes list, amended bibliography, adjusted 'Early life and education' section, added citations, removed an external link"—that is as specific as I can possible be). Regarding my last edit, I was merely addressing the claims raised on GAR, namely, that the article needs to be trimmed. Another concern raised was the lack of citations, and I am trying to deliver on that as well. Therefore, I don't think I required any consensus for any of my edits (remember "Be bold"), but I don't expect that this issue will be resolved easily. Nonetheless, if we eventually find ourselves in agreement, I can undo the revert and go back to editing the article. DannyRogers800 (talk) 14:18, 9 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
Do ont edit war, make a case at the talk page, not here. And I objected to your edits, so yes you need to get consensus. Slatersteven (talk) 14:30, 9 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
Sure, will do. Thanks. DannyRogers800 (talk) 14:32, 9 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

India Pakistan conflict analysis

edit

Can this article be used in the analysis section of that article. I'm only posting this here because the talk page is closed there. https://smallwarsjournal.com/2025/05/22/indias-wake-up-call-why-us-defense-reform-must-match-the-speed-of-modern-war/ Can anyone please add this source in the India Pakistan conflict analysis section. The article reads: India’s overwhelming success demonstrated something more enduring than airpower. It validated a national defense doctrine built around efficient domestic industrial strength. And most significantly, it delivered a clear message to its strategic rival. Pakistan—a Chinese proxy by armament, alignment, doctrine—was completely outmatched. Its Chinese-made air defense systems could not stop, detect, or deter India’s precision strikes. In Sindoor, India didn’t just win. It demonstrated overwhelming military superiority against a Chinese-backed adversary.c' Bunnybun746 (talk) 02:57, 11 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

You would need to ask at the talk page, and also suggest a text. Slatersteven (talk) 10:27, 11 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

Babhan term is obviously more older than bhumihar Term 103.88.57.34 (talk) 13:27, 12 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

So? Slatersteven (talk) 13:31, 12 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
So the Article Redirected from Bhumihar caste to Babhan caste.

Babhan term comes first

and then Bhuinhar Brahman transliterated bhumihar Brahman term appeared in madarpur Account

Then bhumihar term

In very Short:
This article contains Babhan, Later, the word Bhumihar Brahmin was popularized. On reading the article itself, it is telling that the community attempted to popularise the term "Bhumihar Brahmin", while discarding the term "Babhan". However, the term "Babhan" remained popular in Bihar. 103.88.57.34 (talk) 14:00, 12 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
What article? Slatersteven (talk) 14:04, 12 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
To put it another way, you are asking me (in effect) to support an edit, without really explaining what that edit is, What page do you want to move? Slatersteven (talk) 14:51, 12 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

Stop refactoring your comments now that they have been replied to. Slatersteven (talk) 14:27, 12 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion at Battle of Manupur

How is it identical to its former deleted page..? Battle of Manupur in its old page had a myriad of issues including poor sourcing, and copyright.

Comment removal at Talk:Donald Trump

edit

Regarding this edit, my understanding is that the talk page of articles is an appropriate place to discuss meta issues about our articles. WP:NOTFORUM is of course a thing, but there are templates which allow editors to note, for example, when an article was featured in a news piece as a way of celebrating the work editors put into place. The only significant difference here is it was my image, which was used on the Donald Trump article as his signature for about a year or so, and not the entire article. So it would seem the community has carved out an exception for those types of comments. Am I missing something? —Locke Coletc 14:04, 2 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

But this did not use such a template, and it was still alleging criminal acts, without evidance (OR is not evidance). And no, talk pagers are only for how to improve the article, you admit this cannot be added. Slatersteven (talk) 14:09, 2 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
A couple of things: I did not allege anything or create OR (the show in question is a secondary source, and I am not employed by HBO or the staff at that show). And as to talk pagers are only for how to improve the article, you admit this cannot be added, I again note that the community accepts that we can celebrate when our works are used in other major projects. The type of thing NOTFORUM/NOTSOAPBOX is concerned with is with simply making posts about topics that are unrelated to the maintenance of improvement of our articles. My comment does not fall into that. —Locke Coletc 14:25, 2 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
The show maybe, your interpretation of what it shows is not ("Thought the signature looked familiar). And (as I said) you admit that this cannot be added using this source "Just more informational, doubtful this would be relevant unless an RS picked up on it." you just "anyways, figured others might find it interesting". That means it is (in effect just a forum post, that cannot really be acted on). Previous undated comment added by Slatersteven (talk) at 2025-08-02T14:31:56 UTC
Hmm, maybe I'm dense, but are you saying the signature they used is not the one I selected and vectorized for our articles? See also {{press}}, which is used on thousands of article talk pages with the sole intent of saying "heyyy, this page or content from it was mentioned in XYZ". The very thing you deleted. —Locke Coletc 14:57, 2 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
No I am saying an RS does not say it was, you do. Slatersteven (talk) 15:01, 2 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
So what? —Locke Coletc 15:02, 2 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

I have said all I wish to say, this smacks of an attempt to go "ahh Trump-estine, see se" without actually saying it. Even Trumpy is civfed by wp:blp, and that also applies to talk pages. Others seem to disagree, as such that is an end to it. Slatersteven (talk) 15:06, 2 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

fake news definition

edit

Is making a definition of a concept clearer and more precise bad for Wikipedia and its readers? explain me Potebik55 (talk) 13:11, 11 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

The place for this discussion is the article talk page. However narrowing a definition to make it more precise is not broadening it. Slatersteven (talk) 13:15, 11 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
This current definition of “fake news” is simplistic and banal for an encyclopedia. Readers have the right to an in-depth and scientifically accurate definition of a concept. 79.22.186.141 (talk) 13:22, 11 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
As Im said, take it to the article's talk page. Slatersteven (talk) 13:23, 11 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

Misplaced welcome

edit

Hi there, it looks like you accidentally did two things recently when you made this edit. First welcomes should be on users talk page, not on the user page itself; and second, the welcome template should always be substitude. Given your edit history on here, it was surprising so I would assume it was simply a mistake. Cheers! TiggerJay(talk) 15:13, 27 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

yes it was. Slatersteven (talk) 15:16, 27 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
