Knife Edge Two Piece 1962–65

Hi Prioryman. Could I make a request about photographing a sculpture in Westminster? The lede pic for Knife Edge Two Piece 1962–65 (a Good Article) has just been removed from Commons as it had no licensing information. It would be nice to have a high-quality and up-to-date photo of this sculpture; it received conservation work in 2013, and the best photo on Commons is from 2010. There's also nothing on Flickr or Geograph. There's no hurry whatsoever to do this, but would you be interested? I love the photos of sculptures at Petworth, by the way.

Halloween hooks

I'm sorry the discussion on the WT:DYK talk page didn't result in the creation of a subpage for Halloween hooks, which would have put all the suggested and approved hooks in one place and made things much clearer. I understand your listing suggested hooks both in the regular noms area and in the Halloween holding area. But once a hook is approved, I think it should be deleted from the regular noms area and only appear in the Halloween holding area, right? I've done that for a few approved hooks already.

"a bag over his head"

I noticed a small typo, "node" vs. "nod", in a quote you added back in 2013 to History of Gibraltar#Gibraltar as a colony. But then I was struck at the 'tone' of the quote and tried to find that source. The version of the source I could find had a markedly tamer passage.

The Google books version is 1831, a doesn't mention an edition number in Volume II where the quote was found. A volume one at Google books says "A new and revised Edition" and "Third Edition enlarged."

Any idea what 'edition' you had accessed? Can it really be that the book was _that_ revised in the edition I found? All that unseemliness removed? Shenme (talk) 03:25, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for picking up on that typo. I'm afraid don't know which edition it was - I read it in hard copy in the British Library. It evidently went through multiple editions so I'd guess that the one I read was earlier than the online copies that you've found. Prioryman (talk) 12:48, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

It looks like we need to broaden the scope of this abusive editor's ban, and gather in his sock puppet account as well. He posted on my Talk: page in violation of his topic ban as well as yours, so it looks like this abusive editor did not learn a lesson and seeks to waste even more volunteer editors' time. Damotclese (talk) 03:17, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

By "sock puppet", do you mean Laval (talk · contribs)? I've not seen any evidence to suggest sockpuppetry on either user's part. I agree that Sfarney has got away lightly with a blatant topic ban violation but I think it's basically being treated with a light touch on the grounds of ambiguity. I don't think he'll get a second chance. I'm not too worried about repeat incidents as I think he'll be well aware that he won't be treated leniently next time.
