== Nominations now open for the WikiProject Military history newcomer of the year and military historian of the year ==
:Thanks for relying, but I'm still a little bit puzzled: are you saying you '''didn't''' change the archive timer from 28 days to 30? It sounds as though you were just doing normal editing, and from your edits , it indeed looks as though you were. But if you go back to , you will see near the top how "algo = old(28d)" was changed to "algo = old(30d)". That's not at all a normal edit and one that would appear to be difficult to do accidentally. To clarify, are you saying you didn't make this change or at least don't recall doing it? I'm just trying to figure out the sequence and cause of this rather odd incident, and if you could be as specific as possible about what you remember doing or not doing , that would be immensely helpful and appreciated.

Hi Steven, I see you've reverted adding of North Korea in my last edit at ]. To explain my move, I think the discussion has already run its course and the numerical and argumentation grounds, particularly considering that there were 16 support !votes and 3 oppose !votes, and both arguments were based in PAGs, firmly supports adding North Korea.

Hi there, Not sure what to do with ] who is making unhelpful edits on a number of British India history pages. He first appeared on February 14 on ], a page I have been editing since October 2006. His talk page diatribes are full of words like "evil" etc. He has made a few edits, but his writing is so poor and the citations so unreliable ( is an example), that I don't know how to proceed. Upon my ] in March after a longish winter break, I made my first edit in ], since it is a parent article of one of ]'s sections. The very next day, he appeared for the first time on that page, and you know that history. Then, when I went back to editing the Raj page (during one of "Indian Rebellion"'s lockdowns), and subsequently began to work on another section, he appeared on the parent article of that section, ], for the first time, and has been confronting me there. Here is and here is . Compare the writing. Compare the quality of the references. And ''I'' am being accused of POV. Very frustrated. What should I do? ]] 06:55, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello Slater, I have undone the edit you made deleting the disambig link I put in the article. Although I did not clearly understand what you meant by "not a clean up an addition, and is it a likely re-diection any way? N other book is listed in this way on the page", I am assuming you were under the impression this would be a redirect to the mutiny article itself.

::Hello Slater, I am afraid dont understand what you're trying to say. I was initially disappointed that you deleted the link without notifying me, and I also felt the link deserved to be there. I thought your deletion was unjustified and confrontational and not notifying me either in the talkpage or on my talkpage somewhat discourteous. If that has offended you then it certainly was not my intention. I hence (''initially'') reinstated the link and left the first message on you talk page. This happened once more with another editor, who reverted without notifying me or giving a reason I thought was weak. After I had undone this second revert, I left a message in the talk page of the article, explaining why I added the link and why I felt it should be there. However, the editor in question subsequently explained in the talk page why the disambig link was inappropriate, and I accepted his argument since it made sense to me. I therefore think this matter is now resolved. I suggested subsequently that a seperate section on literature and commemorations be included in the article, on which I haven't recieved any comments so far. Please do have a look at ].

Alright, so... we have any evidence that some of Syrian aircraft were evacuated before capture and eventual destruction? Are any airfields in control of Assad? From what I understand almost all of Syria is in control of rebel forces. If any MiG-21's are in control of the Syrian Arab Air Force, then those aircraft had to be evacuated somewhere, like Russia or Iran. From what I can tell SyAAF dosen't exist anymore.

Trump and NOTFORUM

So here's what I've started to post on some user talk pages per Talk:Donald Trump#FORUM. By responding to these people with anything but a WP:NOTFORUM link, you're being part of the problem instead of the solution. I totally get that forum talk is tempting.

Hello! Talk:Donald Trump is for discussing improvements to the Donald Trump article, not for more general forum-like discussions about Trump, politics, and such. I hope you will keep this in mind in any future participation there. See WP:NOTFORUM for the relevant Misplaced Pages policy.

The unsigned template was filled out in error, and the hat template needs to be placed inside the section it covers, not outside, in order to work properly with archiving. 100.36.106.199 (talk) 20:14, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

That was not the only refactoring you made. Slatersteven (talk) 10:59, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

Revert at Template : Russian invasion of Ukraine infobox

Hi Steven, I see you've reverted adding of North Korea in my last edit at Template : Russian invasion of Ukraine infobox. To explain my move, I think the discussion has already run its course and the numerical and argumentation grounds, particularly considering that there were 16 support !votes and 3 oppose !votes, and both arguments were based in PAGs, firmly supports adding North Korea. I intend to revert your reversion because requiring an uninvolved admin close here is unnecessary and likely to add months to doing something that the community has already made a clear decision on. I think this may be a WP:1RR page since it deals with CTOPs, so please be aware of that. FOARP (talk) 14:47, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

You think that, and (as I stated) I disagree that it is a clear snow close, so wait until it is closed. |Slatersteven (talk)
OK, but that isn't a decision you can make by yourself - we don't have a "dog in the manger" veto on Misplaced Pages, where a small minority continue to block a change after it has clearly received consensus. FOARP (talk) 14:55, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
Nor is it yours, as you are involved, so wait for an uninvolved admin to judge it, I am willing to why are you not? Slatersteven (talk) 14:57, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
I think I've explained the issue - getting an uninvolved admin close could take months, meanwhile the result is now beyond question. But you're insisting on an uninvolved close - and it has to be an admin apparently? OK. FOARP (talk) 15:10, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
And I disagree it is beyond question, as it should be policy-based, and not just on the number of votes, and we are not uninvolved enough to make that decision. Slatersteven (talk) 15:13, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
And it does not matter if it takes months, we are an encyclopedia not a newspaper, we can wait until the war is over if we want. There is no rush for us to add anything. Slatersteven (talk) 15:16, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

Rajiv Dixit RfC

Given the continued edit warring is strongly supported by the RfC, I think it's long past time we get it closed. Don't you agree? - Hipal (talk) 19:47, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

No issue with an independent close. Slatersteven (talk) 19:48, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
But I am unsure what view you think is strongly supported. Slatersteven (talk) 19:50, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
I have asked for a close by a third party. Slatersteven (talk) 19:57, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

IP edits to RfC

Just mentioning that an IP has commented several times on the North Korea RfC, and that those edits have been up for several days, in case you'd like to do anything about that Placeholderer (talk) 23:28, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Astrology additions

Hello you reverted my edit to astrology. I see its a protected article so perhaps I wasn't following protocol (should I just have added the suggestion into the astrology talk page?). On your substantive comment to the revert I'd say the reference is not definitive (of course!) but it is uptodate and critically contributes to the article by discussing forms of astrology from round the world usually disussed separately. This makes it notable/worth including I think. But I will leave it to your judgement. best wishes dz Dz3 (talk) 15:12, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Please discuss any changes on the article talk page. Slatersteven (talk) 15:15, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

MiG-21

Alright, so... we have any evidence that some of Syrian aircraft were evacuated before capture and eventual destruction? Are any airfields in control of Assad? From what I understand almost all of Syria is in control of rebel forces. If any MiG-21's are in control of the Syrian Arab Air Force, then those aircraft had to be evacuated somewhere, like Russia or Iran. From what I can tell SyAAF dosen't exist anymore.


Btw if you think that it still exists and operates those aircraft, flying them somewhere, then I recommend doing some fixing on This article. It states that all aircraft were lost by SyAAF, either due to airstrikes, or capture by rebels. Is this article wrong? If yes then should we fix it? Or are there like two parallel realities.

Stop Edit Warring

This is your last warning. I will report you. 2601:18C:8183:D410:1D8C:39C9:DCEE:1166 (talk) 14:09, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

You do not get to use your subjective opinion to consider everything vandalism. Stop edit warring or I will report you to the administrators. 2601:18C:8183:D410:1D8C:39C9:DCEE:1166 (talk) 14:19, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Make your reply without altering other people's comments, then. — Czello 14:28, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
