From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome, and thank you for correcting spelling on Wikipedia! However, both spellings of the word you "corrected" are acceptable.

Please familiarize yourself with American and British English spelling differences before making further spelling corrections to articles. Wikipedia has 7,296,187 registered users on this English Wikipedia. These editors use different versions of English including American English and British English. The list of dialects of the English language goes on and on.

When many styles are acceptable, avoid changing from one style to another unless there is some substantial reason for the change. It is acceptable to change from American spelling to British spelling only if the article concerns a British topic or vice versa or if you are making the article internally consistent.

More information is available on Wikipedia's Manual of Style. Enjoy your time on the internet's fastest growing encyclopædia/encyclopedia . Thank you. You may also want to check out the specific national varieties of English guidelines. Thanks again, and happy editing! Confiteordeo 20:15, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits are considered vandalism, and if you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the work of others. Thank you. — Moe 20:18, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Advice: English dialects on Wikipedia: Wikipedia has millions of readers; some use American English, or British English, or International English, or any of numerous other local forms from Australia, Canada, Ireland etc. Because of this, Wikipedia has a policy of respecting articles written in whatever form of English the original author of the article used.

The guidelines are simple. 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. 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, just ask anyone on Wikipedia and they will help you. Enjoy your time on the internet's fastest growing encyclopædia/encyclopedia . Thank you.

This is your final warning. You have already been asked to stop changing articles from one version of English to the other. Wikipedia accepts both American English and British English. Articles on either country should be written in that country's version of English, while dates should follow that country's form also. Repeated changing of English when you have been asked to cease doing it may be seen as vandalism. If you continue you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. You will not receive another warning before being blocked. You are breaking things by changing the spellings. For example, in State changing [[Athenian democracy#Citizenship in Athens|citizenship]] to [[Athenian democracy#Citisenship in Athens|citisenship]] broke the link to the section.--Benn Newman 16:36, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

With regards to your comments on 2006 North Korean nuclear test: Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. "Do not make personal attacks anywhere in Wikipedia. Comment on content, not on the contributor. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users." Please keep this in mind while editing. Thanks. [1] --Benn Newman 16:36, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removing info from International reactions to the 2006 North Korean nuclear test

It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from an article. 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.

Please do not remove content from Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. If your removal of content is valid, please explain why in the edit summary or on the article's talk page. Confiteordeo 22:27, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Please stop making unhelpful edits to the International reactions to the 2006 North Korean nuclear test article. It is important to realize that President Bush issued a formal Presidential statement about this issue- this isn't pulled from some random speech. It's also important to note that Bush made the second statement on a different occasion, hence the "has also said." If you still think that information should be removed from the article, please explain why on my talk page, or in the edit summary you should leave with every edit. Thank you.

[edit] Removing warnings

Please do not remove legitimate warnings from your talk page or replace them with inappropriate content. Removing or maliciously altering warnings from your talk page will not remove them from the page history. You're welcome to archive your talk page, but be sure to provide a link to any deleted legitimate comments. If you continue to remove or vandalize legitimate warnings from your talk page, you will lose your privilege of editing your talk page. Thanks. Confiteordeo 19:31, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

You have removed several user warning templates from your user or user talk page. This is a bad idea. These warnings are not put on your talk page to annoy you; they are put here because other editors think that your behavior needs improvement, and we're giving you the courtesy of letting you know. Please respond by changing your behavior, and please stop removing the warnings. Thank you. Confiteordeo 19:49, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
