Sinking of the RMS Titanic

Hello. You have a new message at Talk:Sinking of the RMS Titanic's talk page. Message added 21:51, 3 June 2012 (UTC).

I mentioned you here (only indirectly). Wnt (talk) 21:43, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Uninvolved comment on Fae case

As I've said elsewhere, I've been lurking this case, although I'm pretty completely uninvolved. I do weigh in a little on talk pages, though. In this case, my two cents in response to your question at are that I think he was saying that although it's fact he created the page, he considers the accusation to be that he created it in order to ridicule Fae. - Jorgath (talk) 18:54, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Actually, he's now clarified (!) that he means to expose Fae, rather than harass him. Not sure I see the difference myself... Prioryman (talk) 23:40, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Again, just thoughts, but perhaps the difference to him is that "exposing" is a public criticism of Fae's behavior, while "harrasment" is an attack on Fae as a person? In other words, the difference would be between saying "X did some really stupid things that everyone should know about" and saying "X is an idiot." That's a very blurry line, especially since the responses could be expected to cross it, but it's the only one I can see. - Jorgath (talk) 19:56, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

clarify/remove

Not sure in what context you mean kemosabe but it's probably not necessary to advance the argument you're making there. Nobody Ent 17:29, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

C'mon, you must remember the old gag about the Lone Ranger and Tonto heading into danger; the Lone Ranger asks Tonto, "what do we do now?" to which Tonto replies, "what you mean 'we,' kemosabe?" Prioryman (talk) 17:44, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

New request

Hi, Prioryman. After you managed to make a featured article out of the battle of Vukovar, would you be willing to expand the article the siege of Dubrovnik in the same manner for? Kind regards.--Justice and Arbitration (talk) 12:28, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Your Arbitration evidence is too long

Hello, Prioryman. Thank you for your recent submission of evidence for the Fæ Arbitration case. As you may be aware, the Arbitration Committee asks that users submitting evidence in cases adhere to limits regarding the length of their submissions. These limits, currently at 1000 words and 100 diffs for parties and 500 words and 50 diffs for all others, are in place to ensure that the Arbitration Committee receives only the most important information relevant to the case, and is able to determine an appropriate course of action in a reasonable amount of time. The evidence you have submitted currently exceeds at least one of these limits, and is presently at 648 words and 6 diffs. Please try to reduce the length of your submission to fit within these limits; this guide may be able to provide some help in doing so. If the length of your evidence is not reduced soon, it may be refactored or removed by a human clerk within a few days. Thank you! If you have any questions or concerns regarding the case, please contact the drafting Arbitrator or case clerk (listed on the case pages); if you have any questions or concerns about this bot, please contact the operator. On behalf of the Arbitration Committee, HersfoldArbClerkBOT 14:02, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

• Hi Prioryman. As long as you trim your word count down by the end of the day, you'll be fine. Lord Roem (talk) 16:25, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Clarification, re: Wikipediocracy account

I'll bring this here since it'd be a bit far afield from the Arbcom Workshop. The link I provided is to a Wikipediocracy account, and account named the same as your former Misplaced Pages account, minus the "O". This account joined Mar 18, 2012 and has made a total of 14 posts, 12 of which are visible (2 presumably hidden to some off-topic/tarpit relocation) between Mar 19 - Apr 26. One post was in regards to Delicious Carbuncle and the Common's "donkey punch" image, 5 in a discussion of Jim Hawkins, then some 1s and 2s in a Commons deletion discussion, a discussion about Anders Breivik, etc... The Hawkins thread there is notable for the defense of Fae that the Wikipediocracy account mounted, several times... Also of note; the last time the account logged in (but did not post) was today Wed Jun 13, 2012 at 4:46pm (EST, I believe).

For the record, you are saying that this account is not yours? Tarc (talk) 22:02, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Nope, certainly not mine. Who's Jim Hawkins, out of curiosity? I can't be bothered to Google the name and it's not familiar to me. Did the Wikipediocracy user ever claim to be me? Prioryman (talk) 22:14, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Jim Hawkins (radio presenter), big OTRS, privacy kerfuffle in March. Consider it retracted, then. Tarc (talk) 00:37, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

No wonder I've never heard of him, BBC Radio Shropshire isn't exactly the world's leading media outlet! Glad we cleared that up then. Prioryman (talk) 06:48, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Answers for Tryptofish

Curious, why mark this account as a sock of an account indeffed six years ago? I'm not disputing the idea that it's a malicious sock (who would innocently create that username?), and thus I've created an SPI to request checkuser for sleepers, but I'm just confused about your opinion on the sockmaster's identity.

In response to a comment of yours

In this comment, you indicated that "Arbcom has never previously attempted to direct any actions outside the English Misplaced Pages". This isn't the case. ArbCom blatantly violated their jurisdictional policy last year at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Racepacket/Proposed_decision#Interaction_ban.

Beaminster Tunnel

Hello Prioryman, I'm considering doing something that probably falls under WP:IAR, so I'd like to drop you a note before I do it so that you are not completely surprised. You are also very welcome to revert the alteration, and I will respect it.

• Thank you for creating the User:Prioryman/Beaminster Tunnel article in your userspace, I'd come looking to do the same and found most of it was already there!
• I've made some changes; added categories, an overview image, alternate names, and notability and a reference for the current deaths that have brought the tunnel more attention.
• I've sorted the OpenStreetMap side too, so the geodata representation should draw too.
• My intention would be now to move it to article space, so that it gains more visibility, and can be expanded first.
• This means "messing around" with your user space, however, the currency in the news would be seen as reasonable grounds in this case.

Once again, thank you for starting the article, and you are most welcome to revert the move if you would prefer. —Sladen (talk) 09:56, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Update: Moved, Fixed, and Redirected. I've left the userspace redirects at User:Prioryman/Beaminster Tunnel and User talk:Prioryman/Beaminster Tunnel, so things should be less confusing if you find the move before this message. This can probably be tagged G6 if you're happy with the result. (And if not, please do revert). —Sladen (talk) 10:03, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

That's quite all right, I don't mind. The page was virtually ready to go anyway. I need to make a few more changes to it but will then nominate it for DYK. Prioryman (talk) 18:40, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

DYK for Hyon Song-wol

Template:Did you know nominations/2012 Yahoo! Voice hack - your comments

Hi,

I saw your comments at Template:Did you know nominations/2012 Yahoo! Voice hack and was puzzled because I often see news websites change their titles after the article is published. USAtoday, for example, will usually change the title on their web page from the one published in their hardcopy. So I don't see how the wiki-article creator can be held responsible for that.

As far as declining the DYK request, yes the article needs work, but unfortunately no one is pitching in to help the article creator. Ottawahitech (talk) 16:42, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

There's no chance that there was a change in the article titles. The article creator was clearly rewriting the titles himself. The URLs were a giveaway - the article at http://www.csmonitor.com/Innovation/Horizons/2012/0712/Yahoo-hack-steals-400-000-passwords.-Is-yours-on-the-list is a case in point. The URL gives the article's title, the publisher is a US news outlet, the falsified title referred to "4.5 lacs" - the article creator's own idiosyncratic spelling of the word lakh that so confused SecretLondon in the review - and the ungrammatical and misspelt nature of the falsified title ("is you'rs hacked") showed that it had been written by someone with a shaky grasp of English, rather than the publication. Quite honestly, I felt by the time I'd gone through the article that I simply couldn't trust its accuracy. Prioryman (talk) 20:09, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Sorry for being a pain over this. It's fine apart from the stub thing, which you should really recategorise yourself. It's the wider issue that's caught me, and is making me want to do loads of OR on it. Secretlondon (talk) 23:14, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
