Hello, SpinnerLaserzthe2nd,
I hope you are well. Please do not remove deletion tags from pages that you created. Rest assured, if a category is no longer empty, either I or another editor will untag it so that it is not deleted, as long as it occurs during the 7 day period when categories sit in Category:Empty categories awaiting deletion. And if a category is deleted simply for being empty and you find you need it later, it can easily be restored. Take care, Liz Read! Talk! 15:30, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Pokémon capitalisation[edit]

I just had a look at Bulbapedia based on your edit summary to the userbox, and wow, I never knew there had been so much discussion on Pokémon species capitalisation! That's so interesting. Although it makes more sense for me for them to lowercase, proper noun style does seem to be the convention, and that is how they're done in Wikipedia areticles too, so I'll stick to that while on Wikipedia. Thanks for letting me know, I appreciate it :) -- NotCharizard 🗨 23:44, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I am part of the Unreferenced Articles project and I noticed you've been adding a lot of references to Japanese articles - thank you so much! When you do, could you be sure to remove the 'unreferenced' tag at the top of the page? It makes it easier for us to keep track of the backlog which is, unfortunately, enormous.

Replaceable fair use File:Lena Forsén.png[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Lena Forsén.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 03:20, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Inserting Nastaliq script on Iran-related articles[edit]

Hi Spinner. I noticed you have recently embarked on inserting the Nastaliq font on many Iran-related articles. However, Nastaliq is a calligraphic script, and is "not" used as an everyday writing script for Persian in Iran. I would therefore like to ask you to stop doing this, as its not an improvement to said articles. Thank you! - LouisAragon (talk) 19:46, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It seems you have inserted it on more articles than I thought. Could you revert these yourself manually? Saves the community a lot of time. Thanks! - LouisAragon (talk) 19:49, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If Nastaliq is a calligraphic script, what do people in Iran use instead? I wasn’t aware that Nastaliq was a calligraphic script and wasn’t used in everyday writing anyone. I wonder why? I think the Persian Wikipedia should have a Nastaliq option. SpinnerLaserzthe2nd (talk) 19:54, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@SpinnerLaserzthe2nd: The writing system is just called “Persian” (Farsi). Obviously when you add Persian-language text using “{ { lang | fa } }”, it automatically uses the standard script and you don’t need to do anything extra, the same way you wouldn’t do that for any other language. Like LouisAragon said, Nastaliq is used for artistic purposes. We use it on book covers, poetry books, and so on. It’s not “the normal” way of writing.

An American Tail: Fievel Goes West[edit]

Please don't add unsourced countries to film infoboxes. Most of the time, this is already sourced. If it's not, you can help by adding a source and citing what it says. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:44, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

But it is co-produced by a British studio, I had checked the article. SpinnerLaserzthe2nd (talk) 05:45, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That's irrelevant. Wikipedia is based on what reliable sources say, not our personal criteria for what makes a film British. So, for Wikipedia to label a film as British, there needs to be a citation to a reliable source that does the same thing. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 18:56, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Queen's Personal Flags[edit]

The Queen's Personal Flags are exactly as the name suggests - personal to herself. You cannot assume that they will be adopted unchanged by her successor and your moving all of the articles has been hugely messy because other editors had already changed them to be in the past tense. XAM2175 (T) 00:52, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I thought all names are charged to reflect Charles himself even the flags are no longer used. Is there is a process for that? SpinnerLaserzthe2nd (talk) 01:07, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No. There is a division between things that refer to the current monarch, and things that refer to a specific monarch. Where things refer to the current monarch, articles on those things should be updated where they refer to current events or circumstances. Where things refer to a specific monarch, as with the Queen's personal flags, there is no automatic change unless the new monarch decides to adopt those things themselves - and when, if ever, that does happen the way the article is updated should be decided on a case-by-case basis. Please remember that there is no deadline in editing Wikipedia; it is better that an article be outdated for a while rather than being updated incorrectly.

Badge image upload[edit]

Hello, I noticed your edit to the Flag of the People's Police of the People's Republic of China.svg, thanks for your contribution, the picture File:Police Badge,P.R.China.svg does not fully restore the color and pattern configuration of the police badge. For example, the configuration of the national emblem pattern, the asymmetry of the two pine branches at the bottom and the bump at the top of the shield are all different from the police badge. The type-07 PLA cap badge File:PLA's cap insignia (2007 Edition).svg should not have a blue background, it should be hollow, and the gold color value is not correct, it should be brighter. Could you help fix them?

In addition, the type-21 People's Armed Police cap badge has been distributed in large quantities, could you participate in drawing the svg of this badge? Thx!—— Zzhtju (talk) 20:12, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can you tell me why you reverted my edits on the following pages: List of diplomatic missions in Washington, D.C. and List of diplomatic missions in Ottawa ? There was no note left on the revert edits. I change the flags of some countries to match the flag fly by their embassies, the same way navy flags are shown if we are talking about a country in a war ship article (example: Cruiser (Operators section)).

Depending of the country, the civil flag (fly by private compagny and citizen), can be different from the state flag (fly by public compagny, government, embassy, ...). Check that article for a better understanding: State flag.
I check on real life embassy (mosly via Google Street View) before changing the flag in these articles.

Categorisation[edit]

  • Subcategories of existing categories should not be added to articles. For example, Category:Anti-Americanism is a subcategory of Category:Workers' Party of Korea. Every member of the WPK does not need to have Category:Anti-Americanism because it is inherent if the article has Category:Workers' Party of Korea.
  • WP:CATV and WP:CATPOV: Categories should also be verified by the sources in the article body. This is especially important for labels such as "anti-American". Just because you are certain of a label does not mean it should be added. If the label is widely used, you should have no problem with finding reliable sources that use that label for the subject.

Canadian First Nations Wars moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Canadian First Nations Wars, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hello, SpinnerLaserzthe2nd,

Categories can only be deleted by speedy deletion if they have been emptied. Otherwise, you end up with a great many articles with red link categories on them which, according to WP:REDNO needs to be avoided. It's best to send them back to CFD.

Also, if you are going to tag a page as the recreation of a page deleted during a deletion discussion, CSD G4, you need to provide a link to the deletion discussion so that this can be confirmed. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 02:37, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
