[edit] April 2008

In a recent edit to the page Bombay Sapphire, you changed one or more words from one international 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 subjects exclusively related to Britain (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 other English-speaking countries, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the appropriate variety of English used there. If it is an international topic, use the same form of English the original author used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to the other, even if you don't normally use the version the article is written in. 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 Wikipedia:Manual of Style. If you have any queries about all this, you can ask me on my talk page or you can visit the help desk. Thank you. TimTay (talk) 21:06, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.
I notice that you continue to make unnecessary spelling and style changes. Personally, I agree with some of your changes, and strongly disagree with others, but the policy of Wikipedia is to preserve the original spelling unless there is a good reason to do otherwise. Please read the Wikipedia:Manual of Style mentioned by TinTay above, especially respect national varieties of English. You could then spend time improving articles, rather than just tinkering with them. I know that it is tempting to change spellings to the form which you were taught, and the date format with the number first annoys me, too, but it is now normal in many parts of the world, so you are wasting your time in making such changes. When you write your own article, you can use your own preferred style and spelling, and no-one should change it just because they were taught differently! Best wishes.

[edit] May 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Fred Noonan, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Amelia Earhart. Your edits appeared to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Bzuk (talk) 02:14, 18 May 2008 (UTC).

Hi, the recent edit you made to African Wildcat has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks. archanamiya · talk 21:02, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
