Talk:Robert David Steele

Questions on his CIA career
You list Robert david steel as CIA. Yet the only source is War and Anti-War: Survival at the Dawn of the 21st Century Described on https://www.foreignaffairs.com/reviews/capsule-review/1994-05-01/war-and-anti-war-survival-dawn-21st-century As sloppy and inaccurate. The Italian link voices his claim with no evidence. The daily beast article is on how he was a lying fraud. How did you confirm his employment with the CIA? As previously he was regarded as such a liar his page was deleted by Wikipedia. 2600:E008:58:8BF8:4D2F:38D7:B059:34F6 (talk) 01:40, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
 * This has been corrected in the lead to align with what the body text actually says, which is "political officer" not "CIA officer". ~Anachronist (talk) 19:05, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

Attribution for the child slave colony on Mars
Here is what part of this article says:
 * In an interview by Jones in June 2017, Steele claimed NASA holds a colony on Mars populated by human slaves who were kidnapped as children and sent to the planet. NASA said the claims were false.

I don't think it is necessary to say "NASA said" the claims were false. They're just false, and not just false but ludicrously so: no reasonable person with an Internet connection or a library card or who was above the age of 9 could ever believe that. Per WP:INTEXT, policy recommends against giving in-line attribution to things that are obviously true; would you consider a self-revert?  jp × g 🗯️ 23:14, 4 November 2023 (UTC)


 * I don't think it needs to say this is false. As I mentioned in my edit summary, the notable part is that NASA felt the need to say that it was false. What do you think about that? MartinezMD (talk) 00:05, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
