National varieties of English

[edit]

Information icon In a recent edit to the page University of Toronto, 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, 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. freshacconci talk to me 16:51, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

National varieties of English

[edit]

It might be a good idea to review our policy regarding national varieties of English. For topics that are clearly tied to a specific country, it's appropriate and desirable for articles to consistently use the particular variety of English that matches the topic e.g., University of Toronto‎ should use Canadian English.

Himalayas

[edit]

I corrected your spelling mistake. Worshipped is spelt with two p's in both British and USA English. I see from your history that you have made a number of incorrect spelling changes. You may find it helpful to consult a dictionary in the appropriate language before you save an edit. Due to the history of the Himalayas, the article is written in British English. Indian English is usually the same as British English. Apuldram (talk) 15:54, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
