As you did with mine? Maybe you should start treating others how you expect to get treated. Could you get anymore disingenuous?Slatersteven (talk) 14:56, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

You actually have made a habit of making false warnings on people's talk pages for some time, Slatersteven. 72bikers is not the disingenuous one. 24.185.76.170 (talk) 22:46, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Hello Slatersteven. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of

The problem is we have a few on e line mentions in works about Sulla or the first Mithridates war. Nothing to establish independent notability. But if you do not think this should be CSD fine, It has so many issues I am not sure there is enough to warrant any attempt at rescue.Slatersteven (talk) 13:59, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

How is a person to know that a discussion on the Reliable Sources Noticeboard has been closed? Is it permissible to continue an edit in the area of conflict even before a resolution has been passed?Davidbena (talk) 04:27, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Generally anyone can close a discussion, but there has to be some period (not sure it is defined) of inactivity (personally I do not). There is no reason why you canto continue to edit, but bare in mind that continuing to edit whilst a discussion is ongoing can be seen as tendentious editing, especially if the discussion is not going your way. It is (very) good practice to wait till discussions are over. At least that is my (rather poor) understanding.Slatersteven (talk) 07:58, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for this advice! Have a good day.Davidbena (talk) 02:28, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi I am contacting you in regard to the Lancashire Post updates that were on the Wikipedia page for David Icke. The first one in regard to my review of an Icke show was not put up by me so it has been mistakenly removed when I added my own update in relation to another article I wrote that covered an interview I had with Icke. I understand there is a conflict of interest in regard to the update I added as I wrote the article but the other Lancashire Post update was put in weeks before by someone unknown to me. I would ask that the first part (which I did not add) be reinstated. Let me know if I haven't made myself clear :) Cheers Henry

Hi . Hope you are doing good.

Rao kadam singh or chaudhari kadam singh was a notable leader during the Indian Rebellion of 1857.

Hope you will be agree .

Thanks Gewingewin (talk) 15:51, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

None of this matters, you are edit warring. Even if you are right that is wrong. You need to take it to the talk page and make your case.Slatersteven (talk) 15:53, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

I've split off the section by copying due to how long it was. Would it be possible to summarize the section and link to the new article?— Alpha3031 (t • c) 12:22, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

It would have been best to have discussed this first on the talk page.Slatersteven (talk) 13:05, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

I have created a new section on the talk page for the proposed split. Any comments would me much appreciated. Cheers!— Alpha3031 (t • c) 13:26, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

In non-structured interactions, uncommonly good and uncommonly bad results will happen. In the process of editing information, people specifically stop what they view as "falsely positive" impressions about bad things and "falsely negative" impressions about good things, on the grounds that those impressions aren't proper, but they don't realize that they are actually putting their thumb on the scale and creating a situation where only the randomly bad impressions of what they dislike get seen, and the randomly good impressions of what they like get seen. This is one of many ways that subconscious biases sneak into the behavior of people who are supposed to objectively interpreting information. But because it is subconscious, information is largely garbage since "Labour voters" and "Trump fans" will color it, unless someone on the other side has open access to speak as well and counteract with their own biased information. This is why Fox News, CNN and the New York Times are laughably bad sources of information. You need editors who are biased both ways, no matter how crazy or foolish "left-wingers" think the "right-wingers" are, or vice versa. because anything without the other side will inevitably become slanted. I don't appreciate you doing this to a source which is supposed to be objective, and which uninformed readers are led to believe is objective. You can take this to an administrative page and waste your time trying to silence one of my IP's as you and your other simple-minded left-wing friend have tried. But you should consider actually reading it and considering it instead, because that will actually lead somewhere productive for you. 100.35.112.60 (talk) 15:02, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

OK I will.Slatersteven (talk) 08:30, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

I see you also ran afoul of Tom Kratman. Is there any SF/F people in the world that guy didn't alienate? I mean besides the other RPs of course... Simonm223 (talk) 14:30, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Upset puppies.Slatersteven (talk) 14:30, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Funny but true story, dunking on the puppies in public has made me more money than my novel ever did. LOLSimonm223 (talk) 14:32, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Would that not make the tea taste funny?Slatersteven (talk) 14:37, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Funny tasting tea or not, that colloquium appearance paid for my new TV. LOL. Anyway, on happier matters don't suppose you know Rob Shearman? Simonm223 (talk) 14:39, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Not as far as I know.Slatersteven (talk) 14:40, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

He's an SF/F writer based out of London IIRC. Really good guy, would probably never sully tea by dunking puppies in it. Wrote the Dalek episode of Dr. Who.IF you get the chance to meet him, take it. He's awesome. Simonm223 (talk) 14:42, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

I here he does not belong to that kind of club either.Slatersteven (talk) 14:43, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Naw. I mostly know him through the Toronto SF/F scene - he visited Canada a few times and was semi-regular at the Chiseries events there - and those weren't particularly puppy-friendly. Simonm223 (talk) 14:50, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

I meant the kind of club that would accept me as a member.Slatersteven (talk) 14:53, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Oh, THAT club. Okay. You may think that, but I couldn't possibly comment. Simonm223 (talk) 14:55, 16 August 2018 (UTC)==

Please do not post on my talk page, I have requested this more than once. Your warnings are not legitimate based on your misunderstandings, this is exactly why you were politely asked to not post there based on you inability to discern legit reasons. Thank you. -72bikers (talk) 16:21, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

As I said the next time you move a post of mine I report it.Slatersteven (talk) 16:28, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Please explain your bias against him. If Livy and Plutarch's ufo accounts can be included how is it possible that Pliny's can be excluded? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.80.191.145 (talk) 16:58, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

This, they do not describe them as UFO's, The other material sources to Livy and Plutarch's have secondary sources analyzing their accounts and going "look UFO". What you are doing is
