That link no longer takes you to the described document. Anyone able to find the document elsewhere? I haven't been lucky. 27.252.103.172 (talk) 02:57, 24 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

Living and eating as a Bedouin??

Latest comment: 1 year ago3 comments2 people in discussion

I find this " Living and eating as a Bedouin " sort of inaccurate. Eating - Sardines and rice is most likely the offering based on my experiences there. I think the phrase " Living and eating as a Bedouin " exaggerates what was on offer. 🤔🤔 27.252.103.172 (talk) 03:16, 24 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

"They lived off a diet of tinned sardines, tinned tuna, olives, cheese and bread they cooked every day on a fire."

Say no more.

I really don't know how to accurately edit the page right now. I'll work it out..😉 49.224.114.9 (talk) 04:27, 24 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

THis might help - he clearly exaggerates the trip - lots of othering and orientalism - How to adapt that accurately for the entry though - https://www.times.co.nz/news/mp-follows-the-lawrence-of-arabia-trail/ 27.252.103.172 (talk) 10:01, 24 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

COI editing

Latest comment: 10 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Kereru51, you have made a total of eight edits to Wikipedia since you joined in April 2022, and all of those were to this article. It would appear that you have what Wikipedia defines as a conflict of interest (COI). That in itself isn't a problem, but it means that you cannot edit this article. Please follow the COI link. You will learn that what you need to do going forward, you need to make suggestions on this talk page if you think that Bayly's bio should be amended. An uninvolved editor will then review your suggestion and action it.

If you have questions, please ask; here is good. Schwede 66 09:32, 9 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
