Hi Fanminton, per your contribution in some national badminton team articles, i see that you added flag icon beside the year. Per Wikipedia rules MOS:FLAGS, we should not put the flag beside the year. So, i hope you will remove that.. Thanks.. Stvbastian (talk) 05:24, 14 November 2023 (UTC)


 * I apologize for the mistake. Did you mean the flags in the competitive records? Fanminton (talk) 05:27, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Autopatrolled granted
Hi Fanminton, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 21:25, 15 June 2024 (UTC)


 * As stated above, you are now an autopatrolled user, so your pages will not be monitored strictly like before, so its advisable to add relevant talk page with wikiproject tags yourself as it helps to determine the relevancy of the page you created. Thankyou. zoglophie •talk• 05:52, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

disambiguation page for Republic of China national badminton team
Hi @Fanminton! I noticed that you set up Republic of China national badminton team as a redirect to Chinese Taipei national badminton team and then shifted it to being a disambiguation page. It would seem to me like it would be better off as the original redirect. Right now, everything linking to it seems to be associated with Taiwan (the flags in the associated "bd|ROC" template, etc). I almost changed it back myself, but I wanted to check if there was some complexity involved where the teams used to be combined or changed names or something. I ran across the dab page while patrolling links to disambiguation pages, and I am familiar with some of the particulars of Chinese national teams in other sports like soccer, but I do not know about the particulars of badminton.

Generally, when there is a link pointed to a disambiguation page, it is a mistake, so there is a project to try to fix these. For example, the 1976 Thomas Cup article links to this disambiguation page, so someone interested reading more on this team based on that article would have to click two links - first they would go to the dab page, and then they would have to know which team was indicated (which could be confusing for the reader when one says "Republic of China" and one says "Chinese Taipei"). Ideally this would be fixed so that the initial link would go directly to the desired team - either by updating the link provided by the "bd" template or by turning the dab page into a redirect. I'm happy with doing either myself, I just wanted to check with you whether there is a preferred solution. Cleancutkid (talk) 05:47, 14 July 2024 (UTC)


 * I actually don't know how to change it so if you can help change it that would be great. Prior to the 1980s, the People's Republic of China refused to join the Badminton World Federation because the Chinese Taipei national badminton team used to compete under the name Republic of China. Because of this, the People's Republic of China were not recognized by the BWF in international events which led to the creation of the rival World Badminton Federation. Fanminton (talk) 07:06, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Great, thanks for the info! I have updated it to be a redirect, which I believe should work the way you want it to - when there's a 1970s article about ROC badminton, the links will redirect to the Chinese Taipei article. Cleancutkid (talk) 22:28, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
