Regarding "Japanese culture in the film"
According to the section, it says In the scene during which Chihiro squashes with her foot the small black slug that inhabited Haku (a spell laid by Yubaba), Kamajii tells Chihiro to "Cut the line!" "Cutting the line" is a Japanese good-luck charm performed by making a chopping gesture through another person's connected index fingers. However, I wonder whether "good-luck charm" is a negative mean in English. This is because the original, Japanese, word is "en-gacho" which can be directly translated to "I cut our friendship with you", means "I don't want to talk to you anymore" or "Don't come any closer". Although this is a relatively old-fashioned expression, it is usually used to make fun of a friend who accidentally involved some dirty trouble. I don't think "good-luck" is an appropriate translation. I recommend the editors to change it to a better expression. --- 12:23 (UTC) December 27 2007 isida1028 —12:23, December 27 2007 (UTC)

About the plot summary again
Hey 101.119.152.63, thanks for your additions to the article! Unfortunately, your changes to the plot summary take it over the 700-word limit recommended by WP:FILMPLOT. Would you be able to condense the content so it is once again below this threshold? —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 08:41, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

 * If the plot is too long then I suggest reverting back further to a version that is shorter. -- 109.76.138.72 (talk) 01:25, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Five paragraph long lead section also seems excessive. The WP:LEAD section is supposed to summarize. -- 109.76.138.72 (talk) 01:28, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

About the reverts
Hey Nyxaros, your rollback of the IP editor's changes was not appropriate. They had made good-faith contributions with descriptive edit summaries, which cannot be indiscriminately reverted as "vandalism". I've restored their edits for now, and I'd recommend that you have a discussion with them here if you disagree with them on any of the changes. Thanks! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 17:47, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Next time read the article before writing responses like this. ภץאคгöร 06:34, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I read through every diff; it seems they went back on their decision for the lead once, but their changes were constructive overall, and certainly not vandalism worthy of a rollback. I would still appreciate an explanation from you. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 06:41, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
