From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thank you for contributing to the Four-wheel drive article. Before reverting all the previous contributions to this article, please review the following: Wikipedia:Manual of Style#National varieties of English Remember that millions of people have been taught to use a form of English different from yours, including different spellings, grammatical constructions, and punctuation. For the English Wikipedia, while a nationally predominant form should be used, there is no preference among the major national varieties of English; none is more "correct" than any other. However, there is certain etiquette generally accepted on Wikipedia, as listed here.

If an article is predominantly written in one type of English, aim to conform to that type rather than provoke conflict by changing to another.

Thank you for changing all occurrences of the word center to centre. However, this is against Wiki policy.
Please read all the guidelines contained in Wikipedia:Manual of Style#National varieties of English that include the following two additional statements:
Stay with established spelling.
Follow the dialect of the first contributor.
The article has been in the American dialect for a long time, and there is no clear reason to change it. You should not change the spelling used in an article wholesale from one variant to another, and there is no compelling reason to do so. Other editors are justified in reverting such changes.

[edit] Could you stop reverting my corrections

If you have problems with my edits to the 4WD page please let me know, do not just revert the edits. Although the 4WD article is very accurate the introduction is riddled with errors, which I corrected. I think it is everyone's best interests to make Wiki pages as accurate as possible and the Four Wheel Drive article is not a gleaming example of this.

i.e. All-wheel drive is just a marketing term invented to sell primarily on-road 4WD-type cars

           This is completely inaccurate AWD is no JUST a marketing term.  
            AWD is very different from 4WD and I explained the differences in my edits.

There are also blatant contradictions in this introduction as well. So please instead of immediately reverting my edits tell me what your disagreement is. If you feel that my edit was inaccurate the please let me know why so this can be resolved. Thank You H20h0us391 00:41, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

It *is* just a marketing term. I wish you lot would stop editing it otherwise. Billzilla.
