The referenced page of Barkun2003 is and doesn't include any of those claims, nor could I find them in the rest of the chapter on Icke. Unfortunately, SlimVirgin isn't alive any more so I can't ask her. I don't want to simply delete as unfounded the work of a very experienced editor, but this needs fixing. |

::::@82.2.204.195 For some reason I can’t reply to the IP address directly, but in this interview<nowiki/>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlAjeTunopo he says that at 4:00. Note that Icke essentially replies that “The phrase ‘The world is run by shapeshifting lizards’ is a one line oversimplification without my backstory or context, if you read deeper into it and into my works you will understand it better.” but upon further examination it remains equally as false and baseless with no real or valid evidence. This isn’t a smear, those claims are real. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
::::Also note that the interviewer and others say that some of Icke’s other claims in the video are based on events that have actually happened so at least those theories and claims have got that going for them, that being they are based in part on reality, but the claim “Buckingham palace and the world is run by shapeshifting lizards and reptiles” is one he appears to genuinely agree with and has touted for years ] (]) 02:40, 14 May 2023 (UTC) |

:It's "who". The sentence is unnecessarily convoluted. If you want to keep the structure, think about "he said" as a subordinate clause. It then reads, "he visited a psychic who told him..." and all is well. My advice would be to rephrase to avoid two pronouns in succession. |

is used as a source in our article, albeit for Icke's own views. I'm a bit concerned, though, about its reliability. It describes Icke as "an investigative journalist", calls the way this Misplaced Pages page has been edited "censorship" and generally seems like a promotional piece . It is published in a local paper by a who appears to have no particular qualification to write about this sensitive topic. Thoughts? ] (]) 15:46, 28 December 2020 (UTC) |

::Re-reading, maybe not although it kind of implies it. Here's the relevant bits: {{tq|Icke has battled with countless naysayers over the years, but one prominent challenger today is online global encyclopaedia Misplaced Pages – the go-to-source of information for many with 18 billion visits per month. Icke says the website is notoriously anti-“conspiracy theories”. On Misplaced Pages, there is a line reading "critics have accused Icke of being a Holocaust denier" in the intro section of his page, despite repeated protestations from his son, Gareth, who claims to have been threatened with a ban from moderating on the website if he manually removed the line anymore himself... The “Holocaust denier” slur was repeated in the first paragraph of one newspaper article last month... Despite Icke’s growing popularity across the world, he continues to be condemned. He says the main difference from the 1990s is the condemnation has evolved into censorship-by-stealth in some quarters. He says: “The mainstream media has completely shut me out. It’s an interesting change as they used to delight in ridiculing me.” Icke says the censorship also manifests itself in the form of venues where he is due to speak cancelling at the 11th hour.}} ] (]) 17:50, 28 December 2020 (UTC) |
