 * Will do but I dont think ive made any edits on Kurdistan related pages lol ShovelandSpade (talk) 19:49, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I mixed that up. edited in the area and I thought you had undone at least one of their contributions there. But looking again, that has actually not happened. &#126; ToBeFree (talk) 19:58, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Too far
Hello, please have a look at these edits again: Before I attempt to write a long text about civility and battlegrounds, would you mind reading one single section of a policy, very slowly, word by word? Not the entire policy; noone does that when asked. But you could, please, have a look at this one: Afterwards, is there anything you'd change if you could go back in time? Thank you very much in advance and best regards, &#126; ToBeFree (talk) 19:51, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

 * Hey bossman I'll check em out tomorrow as I've gone off pc, the articles did have an issue with references, can't remember which one I said I'd find better sources but I got busy today and disregarded it, I'll get to it all tomorrow though and yes I'll review the policy you linked.

 * Yh tbh shouldnt have gone into the process of calling him an immature child. As to the battle, though Turkey did in fact take the ELDYK base, I not only stated that but also his source about the Greek soldiers being ambushed is not only unsupported by any other source, but his only source which is in Turkish (I dont know Turkish), is a pdf thats over 500 pages long and he does not specify where exactly it is in said pdf so I wouldnt know where to translate. Also I dont believe it would make it a partial victory for Turkey as their objective was the capture of the suburb not just one building in said suburb. ShovelandSpade (talk) 10:58, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
