 * Herodotus isn’t 100 percent reliable either his version of the death is just one of many versions of how Cyrus died and he wasn’t certain that’s what happened because it was just one of the many versions he heard. Nobody knows how he truly died maybe this version is true or maybe either one of the other two is correct(you can’t be certain Xenophon’s is just fantasy. Also all I’m just to show the other versions of the story, why are you so determined to make sure that only the Tomyris version is shown? Maclo1234 (talk) 15:37, 17 October 2019 (UTC)


 * The story of Cyrus dying against the Massagetae is considered the most likely version in modern scholarsihp. Xenophon's version is fantasy, and yes Herodotus is not 100% reliable either yet in this case he is. Also, the lead of the article is supposed to summarise the main text. Furthermore, the way you edited the article is not how you write in an encyclopedia. --HistoryofIran (talk) 15:43, 17 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Just because it’s the most accepted doesn’t mean it’s what actually happened nobody knows what really happened to him and how can you be so certain Xenophon’s version is pure fantasy because from I heard his version is about as reliable as all the others you also you didn’t even mention Ctesias in our discussions. Again why you so determined to show only one version that’s probably not even true at all(Herodotus himself said he wasn’t sure if that version was true since none of the old chronicles he got most of his info on Cyrus from listed how he died so it was just the one out of the many versions from different sources he decided to stick with) when there’s tons of versions of what happened so why pretend that this the one version that is definitely true and all other versions are complete fantasy? Why not just let the other versions be shown as well as that one? Maclo1234 (talk) 16:16, 17 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Honestly if you ask me the only reason that most people accept this version is because they’re in love with the story of one the greatest empire builders ever being brought down by a warrior queen. Maclo1234 (talk) 16:43, 17 October 2019 (UTC)


 * I'm not gonna repeat myself. Read my comments and the rules (esp WP:OR). Your personal opinion is irrelevant and isn't more reliable than that of academic scholars. --HistoryofIran (talk) 16:58, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Look I’m also sorry if I got a little aggravated before, but it’s just that I’m just a huge admirer of Cyrus the Great I mean from everything I’ve read he was a totally awesome ruler, a very very good man, and one the few people that deserves to be called “the great” and I have the utmost respect for him.

Opinions
True but these are other versions are done by academic scholars as well. Why are you so stubborn when it comes to accepting other versions by other scholars, how are there versions any less reliable? What’s the problem with having an open mind in these things, especially when there is no definite answer to how he died? But listen I’m not trying to break any rules or anything I’m trying to add to Wikipedia like everyone else by showing the other versions by other scholars if you don’t like what I’m putting in it that’s fine after all it’s only your opinion you’re just as entitled to it as much as anyone else is to theirs or if it’s simply I accidentally violated the rules then that’s fine as well and I’m sorry for doing that.
