Request for arbitration declined

The request for arbitration in which you were named as a party has been declined by the Arbitration Committee. Arbitrators generally expressed the view that this incident on its own did not yet require arbitration and could have likely been resolved at AN/I.

Stop changing -ise to -ize on the grounds that it's not "British"

See Oxford spelling. -ize is British spelling as much as -ise. DeCausa (talk) 22:21, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DeCausa: You know there's a Use Oxford spelling template right? ―Panamitsu (talk) 22:31, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But yes I'll move on to other spelling errors, thanks. ―Panamitsu (talk) 22:33, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Changing - -ize to -ise in British spelling articles is a breach of ENGVAR. The template's irrelevant. I'm glad you are stopping it. I'm concerned at the speed/volume of what you have erroneously done. If you move on to what you think is some other "spelling error" get feedback on what you are doing before proceeding at that sort of pace in case you make another misjudgment. DeCausa (talk) 22:37, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DeCausa: thanks for letting me know. What I'm talking about are the -our/-or ones, such as colour/honour/favourite/etc. ―Panamitsu (talk) 22:40, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DeCausa At the village pump I have proposed creating a template that says "this article uses -ise spellings" to distinguish them from ones that use Oxford spellings. The discussion is here if you are interested. You are welcome to participate or not. ―Panamitsu (talk) 08:02, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Responses section on 2024 shooting at a Donald Trump rally

Hello, Panamitsu. Please discuss your decision to add responses here on the talk page for the 2024 shooting at a Donald Trump rally. It is currently being debated, as it will likely become outdated very quickly, and turn into a pain to edit later if we add reactions from every politician. Ornov Ganguly (talk) 01:28, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Oganguly: I did not realise that this was under debate and am not interested in participating. You are welcome to remove my addition, thanks. ―Panamitsu (talk) 02:26, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

July 2024 global IT outages

Hi. Can I ask why you chose New Zealand English as the language for this article. It is oddly specific and the subject appears to have no connection with NZ? While it's a matter for you to consider, I would have thought a choice between either UK or US English would have been the better options (even though I am from Australia, I would have chosen US English given it is a US firm). Local Variable (talk) 07:55, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

When I first started the article, the outages appeared to be only in Australia and New Zealand, so I added chose New Zealand English. This presumably is because of time zone differences, as the rest of the world was either asleep or waking up when the issues in Australia / New Zealand started. ―Panamitsu (talk) 07:58, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see. I see absolutely no issue with UK over US English (realise instead of realize etc) - it's just a little odd when you go to edit the page and see the 'Use NZ English' tag - a tag I would typically expect to see on articles with a geographical or political connection to NZ. I'm not sure it's problematic enough to raise on the talk page, so I think it can just be left as is for now. Cheers. Local Variable (talk) 08:01, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Commons Category

Hi Panamitsu, It is unnecessary to change Commonscat to Commons category See the following page for many acceptable variations of shortcuts: Template: Commons category#Redirects Roger McCart Rogermccart (talk) 15:45, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. That change is part of AutoWikiBrowser's general fixes, I haven't gone out of my way to do it. Maybe we could ask about this at Wikipedia talk:AutoWikiBrowser? ―Panamitsu (talk) 21:53, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Australian English?

You seem to be tagging a lot of articles to use Australian English, but I've just checked one and it was US English already. Did you check the WP:ENGVAR of articles before tagging? Bon courage (talk) 08:42, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bon courage: oh man thanks for telling me. I was going through the Category:Endemic flora of Australia but for some reason it contains articles that are not endemic! ―Panamitsu (talk) 08:54, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Did you check the other articles? This template should not be blanket applied - if there was a category for endemic flora EXCLUSIVE to Australia then maybe, but even then it would require checking. Bon courage (talk) 07:50, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yup I made quite a few samples, all Australian. A few days prior to the error you mention I accidentally added the Use Australian English tag to a few New Zealand plant. That put me off for a while and after I thought I had removed all the non-Australian ones, this problem popped up. I should have stayed away from this category. I will now. ―Panamitsu (talk) 07:56, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fourth_Reich_(New_Zealand_gang)&diff=next&oldid=1238890469 this edit does not appear to do anything. Traumnovelle (talk) 07:37, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for telling me this. I'm unsure how this happened and thankfully it looks like this error has only been made on this one article. I've now set AutoWikiBrowser to skip if it only makes whitespace changes, so this problem shouldn't happen in future. ―Panamitsu (talk) 07:43, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apologizes For Posting Fake Infomation

Hi Panamitsu,

Sorry to post false information. Someone on Facebook posted clearly untrue claims about the Auckland Skytower I dared him to post any evidence none was forthcoming so he claimed his post was reviewed by Facebook Staff who thought it was real according to him so exasperated I posted it here to see how long it would be before it was edited and removed.

Thank you very much for doing that and I certainly appreciate the work you put in to maintain these pages.

Yours sincerely

John Machin
