National varieties of English

[edit]

Information icon Hello. In a recent edit, 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 original 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. Megaman en m (talk) 11:43, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't ever change quotations

[edit]

You "corrected primary mistakes" in a quotation at Etymology. Please be more careful. And again one thing you did was switch English variations. Doug Weller talk 13:00, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Upgrading grammatical mistakes means making them better, not removing them

[edit]

And I'm afraid you are doing this at times. For instance, changing "Beyond these living offerings were crafted objects " to " Beyond these living, offerings were crafted objects" turned the sentence into nonsense. I don't think you should be changing or introducing commas. You are also at times ignoring context - there was one badly worded sentence in another article meant to say something started in 1861 which you made it appear happened only in 1861.
