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]

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

		The December 2010 Christchurch earthquake article is much more solid than I thought would be possible to achieve. Great work!

Wow thanks! It surprised me too. When I started, I just could not find any sources. If you haven't thought of it before, I used the Wayback Machine to go to the home pages of the major news websites, and the earthquake articles were right there. ―Panamitsu (talk) 21:40, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, that's a nice trick. That had indeed not occurred to me. Schwede 66 01:54, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edmonds Band Rotunda

Thank you so much for your work creating the Edmonds Band Rotunda article. I think that makes us rotunda-buddies as I wrote the Bandsmen's Memorial Rotunda article a while back. Edmonds was on my list but I never got to it, so thank you for your excellent research. I had no idea there was a kitchen in the basement.

As I was planning to write an article at some point I took some new-ish photos of the building, which I have just uploaded to Commons. Please feel free to use them or not, as you wish. David Palmer//cloventt ^(talk) 09:53, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Haha rotunda buddies. Thanks for the photo, I had trouble finding an up-to-date photo of the rotunda. The infobox picture is from 2007 which definitely needs an update! ―Panamitsu (talk) 10:04, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If there's a society of rotunda buddies, does one get admitted for having taken photos of rotundas all throughout New Zealand? There's quite a bit of my work on Commons. :-) Schwede 66 10:05, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I shall cast my vote in favour of your admission, but we must convene and vote as a society. ―Panamitsu (talk) 10:12, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
