Generally around, I think

If I leave you a message at your talk page or at the talk of an article, I have it watchlisted and will look for replies there. No need to leave talkback messages here, but using the talkback function on those pages is appreciated and encouraged.

Furthermore, if you're coming here to talk to me about a content dispute, your best bet is to raise it at the talk page of the article(s) in question. If you leave a message pertaining directly to a content dispute, I am likely to simply tell you to bring it to talk anyway, so let's both save a step.

Moving my hat

That final comment probably the most ridiculous thing about this yet. For shame. Thargor Orlando (talk) 12:49, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

If you're going to move a hat to cover another comment please re-sign it yourself. I have no issue with Mark's comment and he mistakenly (and reasonably) thought that my comment was directed at him. — Strongjam (talk) 19:55, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Probably shouldn't have hatted it at all, but it looks resolved now. Thargor Orlando (talk) 20:10, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Here was me going to start a new section for this, but seeing as we already have a section... Thagor, if somebody else hats something (as Dreadstar did) they're probably fairly sure of what they wanted to hat. If you disagree, at least re-sign it yourself- it can seem unethical to expand the purview of a hat without claiming responsibility. PeterTheFourth (talk) 23:49, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It seems like I was acting under what the hat was intended to do. I left a note at his page to tell him I did it, and said no problem if he disagreed. How about, instead of coming here and preaching to me, going to the talk page of the person fanning the flames and getting them to stop disrupting what has otherwise been a civil talk page in his absence? Thargor Orlando (talk) 23:51, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The issue is not what you were inflamed by, but that you were inflamed by it. In the future, take more time thinking about your comments and how they contribute to the encyclopedia before making them. Cheers! PeterTheFourth (talk) 00:14, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Peterson Institute

Thanks. I've been waiting for page protection with the hopes that it will "educate" the IPs. But the backlog is considerable. I think PP is a better course of action (at present) than bringing their edits to the ANI or Edit War boards. – S. Rich (talk) 17:57, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

1RR violation?

Hi, Thargor, sorry if you'd rather I not ask this here. Feel free to revert if so. Does this edit removing your coverage of PAX's response not put this user over 1RR, given that they also reverted here about 7 hours ago? It seems so to me, but I thought you'd know better. -Starke Hathaway (talk) 21:24, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No need to remove, it's a good question. I looked, and removing my edit definitely doesn't revert it to a previous form in my mind, as he left the rest of the direct quote in place. Definitely doesn't violate the letter, but certainly the spirit. I won't be pursuing it, and he'll likely dig his own grave, but if you think you have a case, I could be wrong.

GamerGate sources

God Day Thargor.

I saw you were called for sources in the discussion of getting gamergate to a more objective standpoint, as such there's been a few people gathering information and sources of Gamergate movement(Or controversy). We've compiled quite a list of Gamergate based on the WP:RS, however Masem's quote in the lower reply to the post does make a valid point, if followed. This link has quite a few sources from various months back may be of use, I contacted Sordel as well about this, since I am unable to post anywhere on the talk on the Gamergate article. There's also a few links to Masem's talk of various ideas and such below that reply.

I wish you the best, it's still a mess, and this is just a question if it may help out with getting the article objective. If it's deemed unreliable sources, then please do no make use of them. I would not want you to get a sanction due to this. If it does get troublesome you can lay the blame on me. Don't take a chance on that, please. TheRealVordox (talk) 19:18, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've been around long enough to know how to navigate this. You have reminded me that looking more at The Escapist might be worthwhile, but games journalism in general is such a crapshoot. Thanks, though. Thargor Orlando (talk) 19:40, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Masem's quote about the sources is the worst part that hinders the other side's voice. The only shot we have about it being a harass campaign is that a very highly reliable source would look at the data from the 3 links in Masem's talk(Like in the reply I gave in the thread) in a proper article with due weight. However the chance of that being is slim and hopeful. I appreciate your effort though, but please don't take any risks. And thank you.

Ps: It's interesting that the specialist in the area of what GamerGate is (The gaming scene and their industry) is overshadowed by other bigger media that has little insight on the gaming scene at all, and how that is more weight than those who know the best. Such a weird way of going through this. Shouldn't the specialist of the gaming scene have more weight in due to their connection? TheRealVordox (talk) 20:30, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Just for those of us who aren’t part of the secret society, what was "Masem’s Talk"? MarkBernstein (talk) 20:43, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
