thistles

hi, why did you add Category:Flags with thistles to Flag of the United States Department of Education.svg? thx --Mrmw (talk) 14:08, 8 October 2025 (UTC)

At the base of the tree is a thistle, no? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 16:44, 8 October 2025 (UTC)

Thistles are a plant and not a tree, or am I wrong in that assumption?

The leaves of the tree look like oak leaves — if it’s an oak, then category Category:Flags with oak trees should be added.

at the moment Category:Trees on flags of the United States is at the image

what abaout Category:Oaks on flags of the United States? in this case Category:Trees on flags of the United States should be removed — what do you think? --Mrmw (talk) 17:51, 8 October 2025 (UTC)

I certainly have no objections and God knows that I'm fallible. What do you think is the yellow thing at the bottom of the tree? I thought it was a separate plant that is a thistle, not a part of the tree itself.

"what abaout Category:Oaks on flags of the United States? in this case Category:Trees on flags of the United States should be removed — what do you think?" Yes, for sure. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 21:36, 8 October 2025 (UTC)

this is an acorn Category:Acorns in heraldry (Category:Acorns) – I’m surprised you’re still guessing after my hint that the tree is an oak – your first answer referred to the tree; at first, you thought the tree was a thistle, and now you see a thistle in the picture of the acorn? please add the correct categories and remove the wrong ones, thanks --Mrmw (talk) 05:50, 9 October 2025 (UTC)

I in no way thought that the tree itself was a thistle. Please don't make up stuff. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:52, 9 October 2025 (UTC)

my mistake, sorry - i am no native speaker

I understood 'at the base of' in the sense of 'based on' --Mrmw (talk) 08:16, 9 October 2025 (UTC)

Ah, no "at the base of" means "at the bottom, lying on the ground". As you can see, "base" has many meanings in English. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 16:30, 9 October 2025 (UTC)

Category:Cell (journal)

The convention is that we only categorise works by language if they are not what would be expected, or in places where there are several languages. Rathfelder (talk) 09:18, 17 October 2025 (UTC)

Where did you get this information? See also Languages of the United States. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 09:46, 17 October 2025 (UTC)

Request deletion

Hello @Koavf, I made a mistake with one upload. Could it possibly be deleted? The link is File:MainQuizwithSetBlocks.png. Thanks. RailwayEnthusiast2025 (talk) 18:59, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

I'm always happy to help, but I'm not an admin, so I can't delete it. If you made it, you can request speedy deletion with {{speedy|Accidental upload, author request}}. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:42, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

Solar System delta-v map

Can you elaborate on http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File_talk:Solar_system_delta_v_map.svg&action=edit&section=new about your addition of {{update|Quaoar Gonggong}} please? Thanks, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 06:14, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

I changed the update request. Let me know if it's still unclear. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 07:14, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

Thanks. Do you have the relevant delta-v values similar to the other dwarf planets'? cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 08:09, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

I do not. :/ —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:51, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

Update request

Hello, Koavf.

Can you color Guinea Bissau in light green in File:ECOWAS members.svg, because it has been suspended by ECOWAS?

https://www.cnbcafrica.com/2025/west-africas-ecowas-suspends-guinea-bissau-over-coup/

Yours sincerely, ~2025-37238-71 (talk) 17:01, 29 November 2025 (UTC)

Hello, Koavf.

I withdraw the request, because the map has been updated.

Yours sincerely, ~2025-37238-71 (talk) 19:00, 29 November 2025 (UTC)

Good deal. I was going to get to it after this AWB run. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:34, 29 November 2025 (UTC)

Organisations

When & where was it decided that Category:Organisations of England should be moved from a UK spelling to a US spelling? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:39, 30 November 2025 (UTC)

"-zations" is used in the UK, e.g. the parent category Category:Organizations of the United Kingdom. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:41, 30 November 2025 (UTC)

Very, very rarely: see wikt:organization vs. wikt:organisation. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:11, 30 November 2025 (UTC)

Sure. All the others are consistently "-ization" and the four subnational British ones were causing a category error. There's no reason for those to be different than 200-some others of the same category tree. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:14, 30 November 2025 (UTC)

Problems with your edits

Some of your "fix cat" edits that you made around 02:00 today appear to have blanked the file pages. These files are now tagged at Category:Media without a license: needs history check. Please check these files and correct the edits. Thank you. Johnj1995 (talk) 21:47, 1 December 2025 (UTC)

Oh my goodness. So weird. Thanks for alerting me--I'll get to cleaning up my mess. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 21:52, 1 December 2025 (UTC)

I finally finished cleaning up my mess. Thanks for alerting me. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 01:00, 7 December 2025 (UTC)
