Renaming pages
Dear colleague, I had to revert your WP:cut and paste move, as it creates problems on few levels (see link for details). Procedures for renaming ("moving") pages are described in WP:MOVE. Викидим (talk) 09:27, 7 April 2024 (UTC)


 * No probs! Thank you for your revert. Josethewikier (talk) 09:30, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Spelling changes
You have been making a lot of bold moves and spelling changes of Macau-related articles – sometimes with misleading edit summaries, such as saying there is a misspelling when there is only a legitimate alternative spelling. For example, you changed the spelling in the title of an article about a Canadian government institution in a way that is contrary to the way the Canadian government spells it! You're also changing spellings about Chinese government official documents in a way that is contrary to the way the Chinese government spells things. Please Stop! Consider what you are doing. These are controversial actions. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 20:48, 7 April 2024 (UTC)


 * I believe in WP:5P5 but I recognize that was very reckless of me. I will ensure not to edit controversial edits regarding this matter and I appreciate your warning. Josethewikier (talk) 20:53, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I do want to mention that for the Chinese Government, the spelling they use are not always how it's commonly spelt in the English Language. The Communist Party of China (CPC) is almost never referred to as such in English, for example. I believe Macao/u to be another such case whereby the English common name defers from the official name. However, I do admit that I could have done this in a better way (that serves the purpose of making Wikipedia better for one and for all) and I will make sure to avoid doing this in the future. Josethewikier (talk) 20:59, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
 * OK, I appreciate the attitude, although I think you may be wrong about which spelling is more common in English. Google Ngram analysis disagrees. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 21:07, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
