External links

Thanks for your edits on Kent, Ohio. Unfortunately I had to revert them due to the article guidelines for US city articles, which can be found at WP:USCITY. For the "External links" section, WP:USCITY#External links states "A link to some of the official websites should be provided here, such as the official city government, or the convention and visitors bureau." KentOhio.net, while a wonderful site, does not fit into that category since it isn't an official site; it's a commercial site and is run by a private individual, so its use in an EL link section isn't appropriate and its use as a reliable source is limited. The full policy for external links sections can be found at WP:EL. KentOhio.net was discussed by myself and other editors and consensus was that it wasn't appropriate for this article due to its commercial nature.

"See also" sections are for links to other relevant Wikipedia articles that aren't already linked in the article itself. For instance, for Kent, while Kent State University would be a relevant link, because there is already a link to that article in the Kent article (there are actually multiple links), it isn't needed. Many developed articles like the Kent article don't have "See also" sections because those relevant links have integrated into the text. WP:USCITY#See also also says "Links to external websites should not be placed in this section."

Any questions, feel free to ask! Happy to help. --JonRidinger (talk) 16:31, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

National varieties of English

In a recent edit to the page Democratic Unionist Party, 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 India, use Indian English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand or Ireland, 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. st 170e 21:44, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
