Information icon 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, or New Zealand, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author 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.

[edit]

Hello, I'm DVdm. Your recent edit to the page Kinetic energy appears to have added incorrect information, so I removed it for now. If you believe the information was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. DVdm (talk) 09:24, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to Kinetic energy. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. DVdm (talk) 09:39, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Note - the cited source [1] is not a wp:reliable source. See [2] where they say:

"The original and continued purpose of these pages is to provide an opportunity for public presentation of scientific theories without prior and arbitrary assessment, criticism or rejection by the recipient."

If you feel different about this, you can open a talk page discussion about your edit. - DVdm (talk) 09:44, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
See also Wikipedia:List of self-publishing companies#G:

"Books from publishers which fit those descriptions should not be treated as reliable sources unless they meet the specific exception criteria described at WP:SPS or WP:ABOUTSELF."

Hope this helps. DVdm (talk) 10:06, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
