Information icon Hello. In a recent edit to the page Grammar, 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.

The type of English an article is written in is often shown at the top of the edit page. In the case of Grammar this states "Use British (Oxford) English" - Arjayay (talk) 13:25, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

March 2018 from Wakingapp My apology, it took me time to spot about Arjayay and JNW comment on my talk page (and get to know the concept) and understand how to reply. I have read the links Arjayay provided me but still have a question left. I understand that a word has many ways according to the English style of the speaker. However, in the MoS there was no mark to that cosmetic changes (missing commas for instance) creates a problem with the National varieties of English. yet still I have received a warning from JNW which I find hard to put together with the do's and don'ts in the MoS. I would like to have a clarification regarding cosmetic fixes.
