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 Wikipedia policy.

Hello Slatersteven, sorry for reverting your good-faith edit. I deleted those sections in the article Shambhala because they were completely unreferenced and tagged as WP:OR. I will try to expand the article with sourced content based on reliable references; it will take time. GenoV84 (talk) 00:23, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

Did you actually look at my edit? I fixed an EGG. The rest of my comment was about possible overlinking, which I didn't change. ―Mandruss ☎ 14:04, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Hello, you see the problem is, I don´t know which user to adress, therefore I decided to post a general question. But since you asked me directly here are some articles British soldiers in the eighteenth century British Army during the American Revolutionary War British Army during the Victorian Era British Army during the Second World War while some just need formatting or lacked of inline citations other are incomplete...

If you cannot read a diff effectively, you should not be policing people who correct errors in templates. 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)

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 Wikipedia, 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)

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)

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.

Talk: Donald Trump lead sentence discussion
Hi Slatersteven,
I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to reach out about a consensus debate currently happening on Donald Trump’s page, as it mirrors a similar situation we encountered during Joe Biden’s presidency. Four years ago, we agreed on a consensus to keep the lead sentence format, which I believe was both fair and sensible. Specifically, the line for Joe Biden was: "...who has been the 46th and current president of the United States since 2021." Looking back, I see that you were in favor of maintaining this as the status quo. Talk:Joe Biden/Archive 15#RfC: Should we say he is "current" president in the lead, or not?
I believe we should apply this same structure to Donald Trump’s page, just as we did for Joe Biden and Barack Obama before him, to ensure consistency and clarity. This format clearly conveys the order ("47th"), incumbency ("current"), and start date ("since 2025"), which helps maintain uniformity across presidential biographies.
Given your involvement and support in that earlier consensus, your insights would be incredibly valuable in the current discussion. It’s important that we uphold the same standards regardless of the officeholder, and I’d appreciate it if you could weigh in, share your thoughts, and cast a vote. Here is the current discussion and vote underway: Talk:Donald Trump, Superseding consensus #50, sentences 1 and 2
Thanks a lot, and I hope you’ll consider contributing. TimeToFixThis (talk) 07:49, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

Read WP:TAGTEAM and WP:BITE
Hi Slatersteven, I’ve noticed that you have posted several brief comments on my talk page, referencing policies such as WP:USERNAME and WP:SPA without providing clear explanations. If you have specific concerns about my edits, I would appreciate it if you could articulate them in a constructive, policy-based manner rather than leaving one-line remarks that do not contribute to a meaningful discussion.
Additionally, I am concerned that while you appear to have endorsed Valjean’s threats of administrative action against me, you have not acknowledged their repeated personal attacks and WP:AGF violations towards me. I would like to understand your reasoning for this apparent selective application of policy. I would also encourage you to review WP:TAGTEAM, which discourages coordinated enforcement of an editorial stance, as well as WP:BITE, which reminds experienced editors to be welcoming rather than overly aggressive towards those engaging in discussions in good faith.
Moving forward, I ask that if you wish to engage with me on Wikipedia, you do so in a constructive, policy-driven way rather than with vague references or implicit endorsements of others’ actions. Otherwise, I kindly request that you refrain from further unnecessary messages on my talk page. Thank you. Iispepsiokay (talk) 12:48, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
- I note you changed your user name, so in fact it was a useful warning to you that it might cause issues. As for SPA, it is clear what it means, you have only edited in one topic area. Slatersteven (talk) 12:50, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks, I've now read WP:SPA. It will be useful for you to read WP:TAGTEAM and WP:BITE Iispepsiokay (talk) 12:56, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
- So then you agree that you were in fact only editing in one (contentious) topic area? Also I am aware of them and would point out that I have not even commented in the thread where you are in dispute with Valjean (so hardly tag teaming). You might also therefore need to read wp:npa. Slatersteven (talk) 13:13, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
- So you don’t apply WP:BITE to yourself? Good to have that clarified.
- You endorsed an admin threat against me while ignoring repeated personal attacks and AGF violations from Valjean. That’s selective enforcement, not policy.
- WP:SPA isn’t a policy violation. If you have an actual issue with my edits, say what it is. Otherwise, dropping vague policy references means nothing. WP:TAGTEAM doesn’t require direct coordination—consistent editorial alignment is enough.
- If you want to engage, do it properly. If not, I’d appreciate you not wasting time with one-line policy drops. Also, listing the number of editors who’ve asked you to stop posting on their pages isn’t the best look. Iispepsiokay (talk) 14:12, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
- Nothing it that says that you can't be warned if you are (or are about to break) a policy. As to my user page, it is for my benefit to remind me. I also suggest you read wp:bludgeon. Slatersteven (talk) 14:54, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
- And I note as well you have still not edited except about the one topic area. Slatersteven (talk) 14:56, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
- I will add that (in effect) daring an admin to give you a perma block, and asking they delete all your content, is not the threat you think it is. Slatersteven (talk) 15:53, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
- So then you agree that you were in fact only editing in one (contentious) topic area?

If you wish to delete the article on a notable subject with sufficient sourcing, you need nominate it for deletion as per WP:AFD, after reading WP:BEFORE. Since I do not believe the article should have been redirected, I removed the redirect, and referenced the policy in my edit [2]. Your revert of my page restore asking me to nominate it for deletion [3] is both puzzling and contrary to policy. Please undo your revert. 103.156.74.129 (talk) 15:47, 14 March 2025 (UTC)

- That is because it is a redirect you altred. It is not in fact an article. Slatersteven (talk) 16:50, 14 March 2025 (UTC)
- No, an article on a notable subject with reliable sourcing was redirected to another article in what looks like an attempt to sidestep the community deletion process, and you have yet to provide a link to that consensus discussion. Please delete the REDIRECT discussion and post a proper AFD as I kindly requested. 103.156.74.129 (talk) 17:00, 14 March 2025 (UTC)

An edit war occurs when editors who disagree about the content of a page repeatedly override each other's contributions.
An edit war only arises if the situation develops into a series of back-and-forth reverts.
- All the content you objected to was added to the article no later than the end of August 2024. I performed a series of routine copy-edits on long-neglected sections of the page, which have since stood unchallenged. There's nothing warlike about it. I stand by my edits, since you seem to have such a problem with them I encourage you to contact the authorities. SaintPaulOfTarsus (talk) 16:22, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
- And I stand by my warning you may have been about to edit war. Slatersteven (talk) 16:30, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
- I would appreciate it if you refrained from baselessly assuming bad faith on my part. SaintPaulOfTarsus (talk) 17:14, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
- Ditto. And with that this is my last reply. Slatersteven (talk) 17:14, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

Marjorie Taylor Greene's Crossfit record
Please revert your change to my change. I actually wrote the original language, then discovered I had included her wrong placing and made the change which you subsequently reverted back. Please go to https://games.crossfit.com/athlete/65675 to see that MTG came 62nd in her age group in 2015 (and not 47th). Thanks Kransky (talk) 11:57, 24 March 2025 (UTC)

Query for the removal of D. O. B. On Mangal Pandey
Hello @Slatersteven! Just saw that you had removed the Date of Birth of Mangal Pandey even though I had provided a source for the verification of the information. So, my question why had you removed it (obviously, it was not clear from the edit summary) and what should be done next.
Waiting for your reply. 16:24, 2 April 2025 (UTC) Amogh Tripathi (talk) 16:24, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
- This is a discussion for the articles tralk poage. Slatersteven (talk) 16:35, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
- I couldn't get you. Kindly tell me what should be done next and are whether will you remove the information again or not so that I can add it and improve the information on Mangal Pandey.
- Seriously need a proper reply of yours. Amogh Tripathi (talk) 10:17, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- The place for this discussion is the article talk page; ask this question there. If you are reverted, you ask there why. Slatersteven (talk) 10:23, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- You reverted me so I am asking you why you did it. Besides, I was not doing any type of "vandal work." The Date of Birth of Mangal Pandey which I added was properly sourced. Still, You. Yes, YOU. Reverted mey edit.
- Why should I ask on the Discussion page if you were the one who reverted my edit? Anyways, on what condition will you let me add it again? The information is true, many sources say it but, I added Britannica Encyclopedia as a reference as it is very popular. So, tell me straightforward. I really need to add the D. O. B. To improve the page.

- Becasue that is how we do things, read wp:brd, I will not fall into the trap I have seen others fall into of private discussions that then get challged by others, if we discus it there, otherss get to see it and join in. I fail to understand why you do not want to. And no you do not NEED to add it, you want to. Slatersteven (talk) 10:34, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
