== Disruptive editing ==

Today you've replaced about five or so New Zealand spellings with American ones. These are incorrect, and judging by your talk page, you know that.

This is disruptive and a waste of my time as I have to go through your contributions to find them. After spending dozens of hours getting consistent spelling throughout all New Zealand articles, it frustrates me to see that you're undoing my work.

I'm not sure why you have a thing for spelling, but please stop. You are welcome to use your preferred spelling in talk pages, but not in articles with national ties. ―<span style="font-family:Poppins, Helvetica, Sans-serif;">]</span> ] 14:53, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Alexeyevitch doesn't use New Zealand English, please consider using American English or the Oxford Spelling on their talk page.

Book publishers

Kia ora! Just dropping a line to suggest enabling CS1 errors reporting on your account. For example, if a user misses a field such as the "publisher" but includes the publication-place, it will create an inline maintenance notice. These are disabled by default and require the addition of some CSS to your user profile. These issues are usually really minor and easy to fix as part of copyediting an article.

Btw, your improvements to Cashmere, New Zealand are awesome, thanks for the mahi. David Palmer//cloventt 04:16, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi, at the moment I am prioritizing getting the Southshore artice up to GA status, I found book sources about the suburb and found the Māori history of the area really interesting... would you be interested in reviewing this article soon? Marshelec might peer-review it this week. Alexeyevitch 05:01, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
Yup I'll try to find some time to read up on it. Looks like a reference check will require getting some books out of the library, so it might take longer than the Aoraki article took. David Palmer//cloventt 06:49, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
Good... I will do a bit more copyediting this week. I'll consider catching up with Marshelec and what his thoughts on the article are. Alexeyevitch 07:10, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
I had a quick glance over it and yes some copyediting is definitely required. David Palmer//cloventt 23:40, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
Ideally I would be done with the article by the end of this week. I need to do a bit of photography in the suburb and upload some images onto the article itself. Marshelec is considering peer-reviewing it soon... he may be able to provide some suggestions for copyediting. Alexeyevitch 23:52, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
Note that Marshelec provided some suggestions to me via email to me a few days ago... his suggestions were very helpful like adding a notable people section. Alexeyevitch 04:26, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

En dashes in phone numbers?

Why is it necessary to use en-dashes in phone numbers? You a phone number in this reference and I can't figure out why. -- Mikeblas (talk) 13:59, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Dead link replacement

What was wrong with the dead link I replaced? I am happy for any hint. I am new to Misplaced Pages and have to learn more about it. Thanks, Matho22 Matho22 (talk) 01:05, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

I think it was a blog link, I provided you with some supportive links on your talk page. Alexeyevitch 04:02, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Fantastic work expanding and copyediting the Opawa article among numerous others! And great job on defending articles from vandalism and disruptive/inaccurate edits too! — AP 499D25 (talk) 02:28, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
I appreciate that. :-) Alexeyevitch 02:32, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Disruptive editing

Today you've replaced about five or so New Zealand spellings with American ones. These are incorrect, and judging by your talk page, you know that.

This is disruptive and a waste of my time as I have to go through your contributions to find them. After spending dozens of hours getting consistent spelling throughout all New Zealand articles, it frustrates me to see that you're undoing my work.

I'm not sure why you have a thing for spelling, but please stop. You are welcome to use your preferred spelling in talk pages, but not in articles with national ties. ―Panamitsu (talk) 14:53, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
