Cadw names

Hey Jae! I've got Dolwyddelan and Criccieth on my watchlist, so I've noticed the changes you've made. I think it's fine to mention what Cadw has done, but reckon it can be simplified to something like 'Since 2024, Cadw have used the name "[Name]" in both English and Welsh'. They've not so much renamed the castles and other sites as simply switched to using Welsh names exclusively in some cases.

In general, I'd also say Cadw's position on names isn't notable enough for the lead. Often it's one name variation among several a site has had over the centuries. A.D.Hope (talk) 11:35, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

@A.D.Hope, well they have technically re-named what it is in English, they changed the English name, but open to other wording. Maybe "Since 2024, Cadw uses the Welsh name [name] in English"?

If Cadw is the only one managing and owning the building, and that in effect they have renamed it in English (just as with Eryri and Bannau), like every other rename, they are usually mentioned in the lead? Didn't add to leads to buildings that Cadw aren't solely responsible for, for example those privately owned or National Trust. DankJae 11:47, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

With the national parks we've been quite careful to state that their park authorities have chosen to use their Welsh names only, rather than renaming the areas they manage, and it's similar with Cadw. It's choosing to use Castell Cricieth rather than Criccieth Castle, but it's not renamed it in general. Others can still use either name.

Whether or not to mention the change in the lead is ultimately a question of prominence, and I'm just not sure how prominent this is. The better castle leads generally give a brief architectural history, a general history, and the usual basic location, ownership, and access information. Cadw naming policy doesn't fit easily into that.

As a side note, the source you've used doesn't give Cadw's reasoning, that I can see. It supports that it uses those names, but not the reason why. A.D.Hope (talk) 11:59, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

For the sites Cadw manage, and is solely responsible for what is physically on the building, surely seems as much as a rename as the national parks did, just like with any other rename it'll will take time until all the signs are replaced. Cadw is therefore the official body for the castle, so don't see why it shouldn't be mentioned, but happy for it to be trimmed shorter.

Trying to find a source that explains it more, but the heading does mention "standardising" so referenced that, in line with all the other standardising efforts. Cannot find Cadw's magazine online that Sirfurboy referenced, unless we use the quote they gave. DankJae 12:11, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

I'm fine for it to be mentioned, it's more about where. As it currently stands, I think a body mention is appropriate unless there's a specific reason to bring up a castle's name in the lead. Caernarfon Castle doesn't mention in the lead that the place was previously called Carnarvon Castle and Caernarvon Castle, in line with the settlement, and this is broadly similar.

I don't think Cadw magazine is published online, so unless Sirfurboy still has that copy we might be a bit stuck. A.D.Hope (talk) 12:23, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

Still dropping Castle for Castell is a bigger change than changing the spelling to match the place, as it is specific to the castle itself. For some of the long leads I did only tag it at the end of a sentence when it mentions Cadw.

I'll try and shorten it further. DankJae 12:31, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

Well I suppose that's the thing, 'castle' hasn't been dropped per se because it's still being used for all these sites, just not by Cadw. Maybe we should have a discussion over at the Wales project? A.D.Hope (talk) 12:38, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

Castle as in the proper name, obviously it is still a “castle”. DankJae 12:43, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

Let's open a Wales discussion and just see what the others think. I can't see anyone objecting to mentioning the change at all, but you don't need to figure out the wording alone A.D.Hope (talk) 13:07, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

@A.D.Hope, I've decided to reduce it to a footnote? That okay? DankJae 13:11, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

see Bronllys Castle as an example DankJae 13:11, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

Sure, I've no issues with that. I'm certainly not saying you have to run it past me, though A.D.Hope (talk) 13:14, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

Just not in the mood for a long discussion again. In the end, as with the previous one, it was more of a dispute between us, so if we can compromise now, saves all the hassle. DankJae 13:16, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

No worries. I'm going to step away from it a bit now, but I can't see this being a massive issue. A.D.Hope (talk) 13:27, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

July 2026

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to GY postcode area when you modified the page, you introduced unknown parameters. Just because you specify |some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The |some_param= must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 01:49, 5 July 2026 (UTC)

@Zackmann08, I added it to the template though, that's why it worked? The template does not have extensive documentation to begin with. If there is some little thing I missed I apologise, but surely that would be more constructive than mass reverting and warning me. Otherwise, I'll look in removing the infobox.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Moneypenny logo.png

A tag has been placed on File:Moneypenny logo.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a file licensed as "for non-commercial use only", "no derivative use", "for Wikipedia use only", or "used with permission"; and it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:

• state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
• add the relevant copyright tag and if necessary, a complete fair use rationale.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Symbols of Ireland

Hello, your requested technical page move is done, and the article is now at Symbols of Ireland after our discussion at the request page. Thanks for noticing the awkward previous title of the article and suggesting that it be fixed. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 19:33, 24 August 2026 (UTC)

The style attribute

Hi, re this edit, I have two observations.

First, style="font-weight: normal","font-style: normal" is invalid - the comma and everything after it are ignored. The correct form would be style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal".

Second, the infobox has parameters specifically for that information, they are |native_name= and |native_name_lang=.

I have fixed both issues. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 07:34, 8 September 2026 (UTC)

@Redrose64, thank you. Not entirely proficient in CSS but trying to remove excessive bolding. Will follow your advice. I know of those parameters, but they weren’t long being used on that article so assumed they didn’t exist for that infobox. DankJae 07:46, 8 September 2026 (UTC)

It's not so much a CSS issue as HTML. In HTML, any tag - in this case <span> - may have zero or more attributes. Each attribute normally comprises a name=value pair preceded by one or more spaces, where value is normally quoted (under certain circumstances, which don't apply here, the quotes may be omitted). It follows that the second quote terminates the value, after which either the tag ends with the > character, or there is another attribute. Two attributes can't have the same name, so style="font-weight: normal" style="font-style: normal" wouldn't be valid either.

As for the bolding, {{Infobox subdivision type}} wraps the native name in {{nobold}}. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 08:28, 8 September 2026 (UTC)

the native name was in the name parameter which rendered it as bold. DankJae 10:16, 8 September 2026 (UTC)

Latch Wales

Thanks for helping out with Latch Wales, and also with the British spellings. I hope the Article will reach GA status someday. Thanks! Edlectro28 (talk) 12:26, 8 September 2026 (UTC)

Marina Diamandis citizenship

Hello. I would suggest getting informed in Marina Diamandis' citizenship, because she is also a Greek citizen since her father is from Greece. She called herself "Half-Greek - Half-Welsh" and her Greek ancestry is as undeniable as her Welsh one. I also suggest that you don't keep removing the word "Greek" to maintain "exclusivity" of your own country. Speedstervalkyrie (talk) 10:09, 13 September 2026 (UTC)

@Speedstervalkyrie, per WP:NATIONALITY we follow where one has citizenship or is a permanent resident, not one's ethnicity, Lady Gaga is not Italian for example, even if she does have Italian heritage. Diamandis does identify as Greek and Welsh, but again leads do not follow ethnicity, as identifying as something does not automatically make one from that place. If you can prove she has Greek citizenship it can stay.

Nonetheless, stop edit warring and take to the talk page, "Greek-Welsh" did not gain support there, therefore you have not gained consensus (WP:ONUS) for your edit. In addition the article does not state she has Greek citizenship so you're adding uncited information.

Bad Bunny is from Puerto Rico, which is not part of the United States itself. DankJae 10:17, 13 September 2026 (UTC)

Open to "Welsh, [...] of Greek descent", but not "Greek". DankJae 10:18, 13 September 2026 (UTC)

Where is proof that she is Welsh? Also Wikipedia says that Johnny Depp is American while he has a UK citizenship and lives in the UK since 2002. By your logic Sofia Vergara shouldn’t be called “American-Colombian” on Wikipedia , and Priyanka Chopra shouldn’t have been called an “Indian actress” because she lives in the US. Diamandis doesn’t only “identify” as a Greek , but her father is 100% Greek making you ignorant and only keeping the part that makes her half-welsh (which happens to be your country) Speedstervalkyrie (talk) 10:24, 13 September 2026 (UTC)

@Speedstervalkyrie, I am only talking about Greek citizenship, if she has Greek citizenship (which you have not proved), then I am happy for the use of "Greek" then. Otherwise she is born in Wales to a Welsh mother so gains citizenship in Wales, she is both a national of Wales and identifies with Wales at least. She merely only identifies as also Greek, but not yet verified by you to be a citizen of Greece. If she is then happy for "British/Welsh and Greek" in line with WP:NATIONALITY like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Sofia Vergara should actually be "Colombian and American", the short description appears it used to be that, nonetheless Vergara is both a citizen of both Colombia and the United States as stated in her article. Chopra is not a United States citizen, so she is not American. If anything your argument is more with Chopra, you argue a subject that lives/identifies with a place becomes from there, even if not a citizen or born elsewhere.

You have not provided a source Diamandis has Greek citizenship, only state her father is. That does not automatically make her one. Does she have citizenship or are you making an assumption to insert "Greek" regardless of whether she has it or not. DankJae 10:38, 13 September 2026 (UTC)

Provide a source that her mother is Welsh . That simple. Speedstervalkyrie (talk) 10:48, 13 September 2026 (UTC)

Provide a source she is a Greek citizen, to use "Greek".

This states her mother is Welsh, but once again Diamandis was born in Wales, so that automatically leans it to Welsh by default until she has announced she is a Greek citizen too. Again because her dad is Greek, doesn't mean she automatically is a Greek citizen too as she was not born in Greece. DankJae 10:55, 13 September 2026 (UTC)

Article 1, paragraph 1 of the Greek Nationality Code (Law 3284/2004). She doesn't need to be born in Greece to hold Greek citizenship. Here is proof that her father is Greek:https://www.theguardian.com/music/2009/nov/12/marina-dimandis-interview. You obviously lack law knowledge since you state that she has to be born in Greece to get Greek Citizenship . Speedstervalkyrie (talk) 11:03, 13 September 2026 (UTC)

I never disputed her father is Greek. She was born before 2004 for that law to apply. It is safer to assume one has the citizenship of where one is born, by descent and physically first raised than moving later in life as equally possible as either an immigrant or a citizen legally. DankJae 11:07, 13 September 2026 (UTC)

Image modification

DankJae since you updated File:Superpower.svg multiple times, can you mark Brazil as dark green and Japan as dark yellow as per the main Potential_superpower English Wikipedia article about the subject? Thanks a lot! Segaton (talk) 02:56, 2 October 2026 (UTC)

@Segaton, unfortunately I cannot overwrite that file, the original uploader (and another) has reverted edits to include Brazil at least, so would be controversial to overwrite the file now (c:COM:OVERWRITE). However this file File:Potential Superpowers (extended).svg exists that includes both Brazil and Japan, although in different colours. So you're free to be bold and replace the map on the article with the other (unless talk has a consensus for the existing map), but I am guessing some editors dispute whether Brazil and Japan are described enough today to be included on the main map for the article, so may be in need of discussion beforehand. DankJae 10:34, 2 October 2026 (UTC)

DisamAssist

Hi, since you're using my JS snippet, I wanted to point you to User:Certes/DisamAssist, it seems there is a working fork of the script now with some additional improvements. ASUKITE 15:56, 12 October 2026 (UTC)

Is that one the more maintained script now?

Thanks for both of your efforts anyway! DankJae 23:49, 14 October 2026 (UTC)
