National varieties of English

Hello. In a recent edit to the page Open All Hours, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the first author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. Joyous! Noise! 04:07, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

You did the same on the Mr Blobby and World Series Cricket articles today. These are British article subjects, so you should not change to the American spelling of "program". --Belbury (talk) 08:44, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Blue Peter. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. AntiDionysius (talk) 01:23, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

In no universe does removing superfluous letters and changing to the correct, universally accepted spelling of a word constitute vandalism. 161.146.238.254 (talk) 01:49, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

You changed from the British spelling to the American spelling, which is incorrect because the article is about something British. Many users do so as a simple mistake, but you have been warned about this multiple times before, as evidenced by this talk page. AntiDionysius (talk) 02:07, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
