[edit] British English

Hey dude, queue vs. line ain't no spelling difference. We have a whole enchilada of pages dealing with this; see American and British English differences and its spinoffs. Best, JackLumber, 13:54, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Interesting, I just read that "wanker" translates to "jerk-off" in American --KihOshk 00:23, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Disputes over style issues

(copied from Wikipedia:Manual of Style):

In June 2005, the Arbitration Committee ruled that, when either of two styles is acceptable, it is inappropriate for a Wikipedia editor to change from one style to another unless there is some substantial reason for the change. For example, with respect to British spelling as opposed to American spelling, it would only be acceptable to change from American spelling to British spelling if the article concerned a British topic. Revert warring over optional styles is unacceptable; if the article uses colour rather than color, it would be wrong to switch simply to change styles, although editors should ensure that articles are internally consistent. If in doubt, defer to the style used by the first major contributor. See Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Jguk

Respectfully, --Dystopos 23:32, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Again with the style issues

If the whole article is internally consistent with it's style, don't go and change words back to "British" english just because that suits you better. Example: "center"--> "centre" Don't do the above. There's no point. They mean the same thing, and since it was originally written as "center", just leave as it is. The original style is what stays. DO NOT edit with style corrections AGAIN!

Unfortunately, they are not the same in the world of HTML-tags; this "author" has been shown to change the tag "color" to "colour", thus rendering some HTML formatting inoperable.--KihOshk 05:04, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Warning about changing spellings

You have been alerted before that changing spellings from American English to British English is not acceptable (unless the topic is a specifically Commonwealth one). As such, this is a warning that if you persist, as you have been in the article Garfield, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Please stop. Thank you. Powers 23:54, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Yet another warning about your spelling changes

Please heed the above warnings about spelling. Thank you. --Cultural Freedom 2006-07-17 08:13 (UTC)

[edit] US vs. UK spelling

I've reverted your changes in Sophie Scholl. Please don't make unnecessary spelling alterations. Chris 22:32, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Bearly541 22:36, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit to Garfield

Your recent edit to Garfield (diff) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept my humble creator's apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior. Click here for frequently asked questions about the bot and this warning. // AntiVandalBot 00:44, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Please do not change articles from American English to British English, or from British English to American English, where the article was originally written in the form of English native to that country. Wikipedia accepts articles in both forms of English. If an article is about either country it is supposed to be written in that country's English.

Also please leave the date format in the form native to that country (dd/mm/yy for British/Australian/Irish etc topics, mm/dd/yy for American topics). If the topic is international, please leave in the form the article was written in originally. Many users become offended if their native English is deleted from articles about their country, and replaced with someone else's form of English or form of dates. --physicq210 00:49, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

This is your last warning. Removing warnings from your talk page is considered vandalism. You will be blocked from editing Wikipedia and your talk page will be protected from editing if you do it again. Ryūlóng 00:55, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize a page, as you did to Garfield, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. --Nishkid64 21:33, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Do you read your talk page? We're warning you because you keep changing the Garfield page back to British English when it was ORIGINALLY WRITTEN IN AMERICAN ENGLISH. --Nishkid64 21:38, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Dude...what are you talking about? I didn't revert your lasagna thing. This is what I reverted: [1]. I reverted it because you keep switching items taht are originally in American English into British English. We've repeatedly asked you to stop doing that. --Nishkid64 21:44, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

First of all, you don't randomly accuse people of stuff they didn't even do. I am just a guy who reverts vandalism. I'm particularly not too familiar with the Garfield page, so I wouldn't know what you were really talking about.

Second of all, I'm telling you to STOP changing American English text to British English text. I don't care what you think of this. You have been warned several times already. This is your final warning. If you change American English to British English again, you will be blocked from Wikipedia. --Nishkid64 21:55, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

I changed favourite-->favorite because the article was originally written in American english. Would you stop going all crazy on me...jeez. --Nishkid64 22:03, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spelling Changes

The only rule on Wikipedia for British vs. American spelling, at least to my knowledge, is that as long as the article is consistant, it does not matter which version of English is used. --74.133.52.253 19:58, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

==Minor Edits== Remember to mark your edits as minor when, but only when, they genuinely are (see Wikipedia:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one, or vice versa, is condsidered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that an edit of a page that is spelling corrections, formatting, and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a 'minor edit'. Wikipediarules2221 22:11, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed content from Cary Grant. Please be careful not to remove content from Wikipedia without a valid reason, which you should specify in the edit summary or on the article's talk page. Thank you. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. –- kungming·2 | (Talk·Contact) 20:58, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize a page, as you did to Prowler, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. –- kungming·2 | (Talk·Contact) 22:47, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

As for prowler, that's not commonly what people are looking for, when they search for a police-related topic. It is therefore unnecessary to put it on a page about a music album. As for the 9/11 attacks, your new sentence structure (things) is not exactly correct. –- kungming·2 | (Talk·Contact) 23:04, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Leaf (disambiguation)

Please do not add double redirects to pages. Leaf, a marginal meaning at best, has already been linked to Cannabis (drug) so linking to marijuana that redirects to Cannabis (drug) is pointless and wastes system resources. BlueValour 20:15, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Arabic Numerals

Just wondering why you blanked a significant portion of this article. Perhaps you should consider using the edit summary to explain when you do this? Kukini 02:07, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit Summary Request

I have noted that you often edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky or even vandalizing. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s). Thanks! -- Kukini

[edit] Editing Concerns

  1. Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Kukini 02:16, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit to Britain

Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Britain. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox.

-- Chris (blather • contribs) 06:11, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

I appreciate that you explained your edit on Talk:Britain. However the real reason for the 'Great' in Great Britain is explained and sourced in the Great Britain article. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 12:12, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Public domain or copyleft images vs "fair use" images

In Laurence Olivier and perhaps also elsewhere, you have repeatedly replaced a public-domain image with an image that appear to be conventionally copyrighted (but that can arguably be used for certain purposes under US law: "fair use"). You have not explained this, or even used edit summaries to describe what you are doing. Wikipedia:Fair use says in part: original images and sound files licensed under the GFDL or in the public domain are greatly preferred to copyrighted media files used under fair use. Do not, therefore, replace GFDL, public-domain or other copyleft images with conventionally copyright images unless there is a very compelling reason that you explain lucidly on the article's talk page. Thank you. -- Hoary 14:13, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gramme vs. gram

Please do not change the spelling of the mass unit from gram to gramme. Both the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology and the United Kingdom National Physical Laboratory use the spelling gram, so this cannot be justified on the basis of US vs. UK spelling. --Gerry Ashton 00:18, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No vandalism, please

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia; it is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Apple9 22:26, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Not vandalism, mistaken. Apple9 22:36, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
