[edit] Varieties of English
Thanks for copy-editing Confucius, but note that British English shouldn't be changed to U.S. English (or vice versa) unless there's good reason (usually, that the article is closely tied to one or other variety). Also, pronouns should be kept consistent; you changed the consistent use of the second-person impersonal "you" to "one", but alternated between this and "he or she"/"his or hers"; the latter are ugly (and deprecated in the Wikipedia Manual of Style), but in any case should be "one" and "one's".
Note also the difference between the People's republic of China and the Republic of China. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 10:00, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
- That's OK — I meant the welcome and the thanks; Wikipedia is complex and huge, and it takes all of us a long time to learn the ropes (I doubt that anyone knows it all — I certainly don't). Happy editing! --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 10:19, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
