Hey friend. According to the latest, there is a third child of his and Grimes': https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/11/entertainment/elon-musk-grimes-third-child-scli-intl/index.html QRep2020 ( talk) 03:46, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
Regarding your addition to my talk page, I encourage you to read the civility policy, which states, "The following behaviours can contribute to an uncivil environment: [...] ill-considered accusations of impropriety [...]" The assume good faith guideline states that "unless there is strong evidence to the contrary, editors should assume that others are trying to help, not hurt the project." Regards, Thinker78 (talk) 23:48, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
The reasons for my additions are as follows:
The final line of the opening Chapter of the book states:
"And early in the twentieth century came the great disillusionment."
We therefore know that the main catastrophic events of the book occur not long after 1900.
To pin down the exact year, I make reference to two further paragraphs in Chapter 1 of Book 1:
"During the opposition of 1894 a great light was seen on the illuminated part of the disk, first at the Lick Observatory, then by Perrotin of Nice, and then by other observers. English readers heard of it first in the issue of Nature dated August 2. I am inclined to think that this blaze may have been the casting of the huge gun, in the vast pit sunk into their planet, from which their shots were fired at us. Peculiar markings, as yet unexplained, were seen near the site of that outbreak during the next two oppositions."
"The storm burst upon us six years ago now. As Mars approached opposition, Lavelle of Java set the wires of the astronomical exchange palpitating with the amazing intelligence of a huge outbreak of incandescent gas upon the planet. It had occurred towards midnight of the twelfth; and the spectroscope, to which he had at once resorted, indicated a mass of flaming gas, chiefly hydrogen, moving with an enormous velocity towards this earth. This jet of fire had become invisible about a quarter past twelve. He compared it to a colossal puff of flame suddenly and violently squirted out of the planet, “as flaming gases rushed out of a gun.”
These paragraphs describe a great light being observed during the opposition of 1894. The narrator speculates that this is the casting of the great gun which will ultimately fire the cylinders.
The narrator then describes "peculiar markings" being observed around this site during the next two oppositions. Looking at astronomical charts – these 'next two' oppositions between Earth and Mars occurred in Dec 1896 and Jan 1899.
The book then goes on to say that "As Mars approached opposition a huge outbreak of incandescent gas upon the planet". Given no other intermediate oppositions are described, this 'approaching opposition' must be in reference to the next one following from three previously described, which again referencing astronomical charts, occurred in Feb 1901. Given the gas was observed as mars approached opposition – it means that the first cylinder was observed to be fired towards Earth in the weeks prior to Feb 1901 (probably around Dec 1900 or Jan 1901)
To to tie down the exact time of year the events occurred, in addition to the many descriptions of fine weather and thunderstorms (which in the UK tend to occur around June/July), there are two direct references to the month that the main events occurred:
Chapter XVII of Book 1 (The Thunder Child):
"If one could have hung that June morning in a balloon in the blazing blue above London......."
Chapter III of Book 2 (Imprisonment)
"in the pitiless sunlight of that terrible June......."
My additions are based completely on the information contained within the book, or in published astronomical charts and as such do not constitute 'Original Research' as defined by Wikipedia's terms:

Hello Slatersteven,
Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!
October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.
PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.
Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.
Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

Hi Slatersteven,
I am writing to you about the page of Persecution of Christians
As you can see in the description of Armenian genocide ( /info/en/?search=Armenian_genocide).
The Armenian genocide was the systematic destruction of the Armenian people and identity in the Ottoman Empire during World War I. Since the Republic of Turkey founded years after WW1. It is bizzare to claim that the genocide that has happened in 1915 was caused by a Republic that is founded in 1923. This claim is not following any logic. Since the main article about this topic doesnt have any such bold claims. It doesnt make sense to have this claim on an short image descption. Metuboy ( talk) 14:36, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

Your User page states: "I almost felt that a month ago. Then I was forced to face up to the fact that even though (In my youth) I was stopped on sus maybe twice A year I never feared the interaction might lead to my death. That is white privileged, not having to fear the police."
Whites are killed by police more than any other race. So clearly interactions between whites and police lead to whites getting killed. Further, Black Harvard professor Roland Fryer did a study showing whites are more likely to be shot by police than non-whites. So your belief that whites don't have to fear the police is simply untrue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:18D:8D80:A560:FDAC:A931:F7F1:9107 ( talk) 21:59, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello Slatersteven:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long
Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.
You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.
Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
I'm concerned after reading some things this afternoon. I saw this name come up because I was trying to reply to another conversation at [2] and I got an edit conflict with someone removing a comment directed at them, but it made me curious after I looked and saw that they removed some reliably sourced content in direct violation of two different talk page consensuses with an edit summary claiming that the consensuses supported the removal.
It looks like this person has been warned over and over again for wasting people's time, using the same arguments over and over on many pages. I haven't seen the WP:TIMESINK page mentioned but they've been warned about WP:BLUDGEONING a large number of times. They were blocked [3] for "Edit warring, bludgeoning on talkpages, disrespect for consensus, and an egregious waste of constructive editors' time and patience, which is Wikipedia's most precious resource" in the past which I think is what you mean by WP:TIMESINK. When they were allowed back they weren't supposed to be allowed to edit on politics.
I thought it was just a person who had a weird grudge against the USA but reading more and more it looks like this person is dead-set on attacking wikipedia and just wasting everyone's time. What's the best way to report my worries? USNavelObservatory ( talk) 19:11, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
I mentioned your name so I think I am required to notify you. There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. USNavelObservatory ( talk) 20:39, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Mao Zedong shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

I think you came in a little hot here for a brand-newbie who is asking questions about what is appropriate, not actually editing article space. Please remember not to WP:BITE and be careful with the acronyms for new editors. VQuakr ( talk) 18:57, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
Avoid excessive Wikipedia jargon. When linking to policies or guidelines, do so in whole phrases, not wiki shorthand.
Begin by introducing yourself with a greeting on the user's talk page to let them know that they are welcomed here, and present your corrections calmly and as a peer. If possible, point out something they've done correctly or especially well.. WP:SPS is a section of WP:V which I had already linked, so pointed them at that was wholly unnecessary. Linking WP:COI is sort of anticipating a problem that hasn't been demonstrated. As a whole, there was nothing welcoming or encouraging about your reply and no, your links did not directly address their question. VQuakr ( talk) 19:09, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
Hello, Slatersteven. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:We are not a comedy club, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months.

Hi!
I thought that your recent comments about not immediately covering current events with standalone articles were a bit thought-provoking. After all, paper encyclopedias like WEIRD COCK
[a]
World Book are usually a bit behind current events, and reference encyclopedias in general traditionally focus on non-temporal things like science overviews and historical things like biographies.
But what exactly are you suggesting, practically speaking?

I do not see why I can not include gran Colombia in the list of largest empires, it does not state in that section that the empire has to be the largest at that specific time, that date means the time the empire reached its peak, not when it was the largest in the world, in that case most of these would be reverted. Not only is gran colombia included in the list of empires, it is also included with the same size as in the spanish and english page that uses the same exact cite. That size is also larger than a lot of the empires on the list, so can you give me a reason as to why I can not? I am only trying to provide correct information and leave out countries from here.

Hello, Slatersteven. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " We are not a comedy club".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 18:45, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

The original is still up on Facebook at time of writing. Belbury ( talk) 12:46, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi Slatersteven,
I am writing to you about the page of Persecution of Christians
As you can see in the description of Armenian genocide ( /info/en/?search=Armenian_genocide).
The Armenian genocide was the systematic destruction of the Armenian people and identity in the Ottoman Empire during World War I. Since the Republic of Turkey founded years after WW1. It is bizzare to claim that the genocide that has happened in 1915 was caused by a Republic that is founded in 1923. This claim is not following any logic. Since the main article about this topic doesnt have any such bold claims. It doesnt make sense to have this claim on an short image descption. Metuboy ( talk) 14:36, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
Hey I don’t think what I posted wasn’t constructive. Perhaps you misread. Noticed you’re dyslexic so that makes sense. Have a nice day 92.20.135.52 ( talk) 20:46, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Your User page states: "I almost felt that a month ago. Then I was forced to face up to the fact that even though (In my youth) I was stopped on sus maybe twice A year I never feared the interaction might lead to my death. That is white privileged, not having to fear the police."
Whites are killed by police more than any other race. So clearly interactions between whites and police lead to whites getting killed. Further, Black Harvard professor Roland Fryer did a study showing whites are more likely to be shot by police than non-whites. So your belief that whites don't have to fear the police is simply untrue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:18D:8D80:A560:FDAC:A931:F7F1:9107 ( talk) 21:59, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
Hello Slatersteven about your edit you said the article was better before. Can you explain? I put a bit of info which in my opinion gave context and clarity to the parts of the article that needed it, but needless to say you do not agree. Skiperfor ( talk) 18:19, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
Hello Slatersteven:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long
Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.
You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.
Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
I'm concerned after reading some things this afternoon. I saw this name come up because I was trying to reply to another conversation at [2] and I got an edit conflict with someone removing a comment directed at them, but it made me curious after I looked and saw that they removed some reliably sourced content in direct violation of two different talk page consensuses with an edit summary claiming that the consensuses supported the removal.
It looks like this person has been warned over and over again for wasting people's time, using the same arguments over and over on many pages. I haven't seen the WP:TIMESINK page mentioned but they've been warned about WP:BLUDGEONING a large number of times. They were blocked [3] for "Edit warring, bludgeoning on talkpages, disrespect for consensus, and an egregious waste of constructive editors' time and patience, which is Wikipedia's most precious resource" in the past which I think is what you mean by WP:TIMESINK. When they were allowed back they weren't supposed to be allowed to edit on politics.
I thought it was just a person who had a weird grudge against the USA but reading more and more it looks like this person is dead-set on attacking wikipedia and just wasting everyone's time. What's the best way to report my worries? USNavelObservatory ( talk) 19:11, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
I mentioned your name so I think I am required to notify you. There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. USNavelObservatory ( talk) 20:39, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Mao Zedong shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

I think you came in a little hot here for a brand-newbie who is asking questions about what is appropriate, not actually editing article space. Please remember not to WP:BITE and be careful with the acronyms for new editors. VQuakr ( talk) 18:57, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
Avoid excessive Wikipedia jargon. When linking to policies or guidelines, do so in whole phrases, not wiki shorthand.
Begin by introducing yourself with a greeting on the user's talk page to let them know that they are welcomed here, and present your corrections calmly and as a peer. If possible, point out something they've done correctly or especially well.. WP:SPS is a section of WP:V which I had already linked, so pointed them at that was wholly unnecessary. Linking WP:COI is sort of anticipating a problem that hasn't been demonstrated. As a whole, there was nothing welcoming or encouraging about your reply and no, your links did not directly address their question. VQuakr ( talk) 19:09, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
Hello, Slatersteven. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:We are not a comedy club, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.
If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot ( talk) 19:06, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
Hi!
I thought that your recent comments about not immediately covering current events with standalone articles were a bit thought-provoking. After all, paper encyclopedias like WEIRD COCK
[a]
World Book are usually a bit behind current events, and reference encyclopedias in general traditionally focus on non-temporal things like science overviews and historical things like biographies.
But what exactly are you suggesting, practically speaking?

Hello there, I saw you removed a section. Christians face persecution in the Gaza Strip as well as in the Palestinian Authority. Can you please explain the reasoning behind the removal? So I know how to improve the text? Homerethegreat ( talk) 13:06, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

I do not see why I can not include gran Colombia in the list of largest empires, it does not state in that section that the empire has to be the largest at that specific time, that date means the time the empire reached its peak, not when it was the largest in the world, in that case most of these would be reverted. Not only is gran colombia included in the list of empires, it is also included with the same size as in the spanish and english page that uses the same exact cite. That size is also larger than a lot of the empires on the list, so can you give me a reason as to why I can not? I am only trying to provide correct information and leave out countries from here.

Hello, Slatersteven. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " We are not a comedy club".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 18:45, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Howdy. I think it might be best if 'you' were to close down (i.e collapse) the entire 'racists' discussion at Trump's talkpage. Put out the spark, before it becomes "He's a racists, no he's a racists" argument. GoodDay ( talk) 19:49, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
Nevermind. I went ahead & closed down the entire discussion. GoodDay ( talk) 19:59, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
My close was reverted. So, perhaps it's best you make the close. GoodDay ( talk) 20:06, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello Slatersteven I am writing to you as I am wondering why you deleted my edit about masculinity on United States in the Vietnam War page? Thanks
Hello, I'm Echo1Charlie. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to [[: 2019 Jammu and Kashmir airstrikes]] have been undone because they did not appear constructive.

Hello, I'm Echo1Charlie. I noticed that you recently removed content from [[: 2019 Jammu and Kashmir airstrikes]] without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Hello, I saw that you undid my edit on the book of exodus page. I added Schmid’s opinion because his book is one of the newer, if not the newest serious book on the topic being from 2021 and that he is well respected within the academic biblical community. I would appreciate an explanation as to why the edit was undone. Mishael613 ( talk) 02:56, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
