Talk:HM Prison Maze

message: The reason stated for todays revert calls for more context regarding the violence against prisoners. As written the removed edit (with reference) supports the previous sentence which is about routine assaults on prisoners. The two sentences support each other. The findings of the ECHR on mistreatment of prisoners is relevant and should be included.Palisades1 (talk) 19:24, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
thread_title: Needs more context revert

message: HM Maze Prison is a false construction, linguistically.
Long Kesh was renamed HMP Maze following the introduction of direct rule in 1972 (http://www.niprisonservice.gov.uk/maze.htm)
Maze Prison or The Maze are much commoner colloquial names (outside republican/nationalist circles) and should be the name given to the article, especially when accepted practice of giving the official name in the first line is continued.   --garryq 17:28, 28 May 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name 

message: What is the origin of the name "Maze"? A maze, an earlier placename, somebody so called?
::It is named after the nearby village Mazetown (or Maze). The name may derive from the Irish an Mhias, meaning 'the basin', otherwise known as an Mhaigh meaning "the plain" PointOfPresence (talk) 09:11, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

message: To make it less confusing, this should be moved to Maze (prison).-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  10:19, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The convention for naming prison articles seems to suggest that this should be moved to "HMP Maze."GiollaUidir 13:46, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Maze (HM Prison) is in the correct format, at least this seems to suggest it is. Stu ’Bout ye! 20:52, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm, is there any reason for that nomenclature? "HMP x" or "HM Prison x" would seem to be more readable (IMAO). 68.39.174.238 00:47, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

message: The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.
*Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at WP:LEAD. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article.See footnote
*Per WP:CONTEXT and WP:MOSDATE, months and days of the week generally should not be linked. Years, decades, and centuries can be linked if they provide context for the article.
*There may be an applicable infobox for this article.See footnote (Note that there might not be an applicable infobox; remember that these suggestions are not generated manually)
*Per WP:MOSNUM, there should be a non-breaking space -   between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 18mm, use 18 mm, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 18 mm.See footnote
*As per WP:MOSDATE, dates shouldn't use th; for example, instead of using January 30th was a great day, use January 30 was a great day.
*There are a few occurrences of weasel words in this article- please observe WP:AWT. Certain phrases should specify exactly who supports, considers, believes, etc., such a view.  See footnote 
*Watch for redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's redundancy exercises.)
**Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant -  “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “All pigs are pink, so we thought of a number of ways to turn them green.”
*As done in WP:FOOTNOTE, footnotes usually are located right after a punctuation mark (as recommended by the CMS, but not mandatory), such that there is no space inbetween. For example, the sun is larger than the moon [2]. is usually written as the sun is larger than the moon.[2]
*Please provide citations for all of the s.
*Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that the it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 2a. See footnote

message: To clear this issue up - HMP Maze was/is in County Down - unlike Lisburn which mainly lies in County Antrim - the River Lagan being the boundary.Denzell393 (talk) 18:22, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Which county? 

message: Since the old text had a 'citation needed' tag, I just changed the wording regarding death of Billy Wright, No source was provided for 3 shots or or that he was shot in the back, added a reference to a report in todays Guardian to support my edit. 
Without a citation "Shot in the back" seems a bit biased to me.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.20.24.42 (talk) 13:51, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
