[edit] Apple Inc.

In a recent edit to the page Apple Inc., 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. 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. Thank you. --Nucleusboy 20:47, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Happyslip and DYK

Hi Outspan. You are off to such a great start on the article Happyslip that it may qualify to appear on Wikipedia's Main Page under the Did you know... section. The Main Page gets about 4,000,000 hits per day and appearing on the Main Page may help bring publicity and assistance to the article. However, there is a five day from article creation window for Did you know... nominations. Before five days pass from the August 18, 2007 date the article was created and if you haven't already done so, please consider nominating the article to appear on the Main Page by posting a nomination at Did you know suggestions. Also, don't forget to keep checking back at Did you know suggestions for comments regarding your nomination. Again, great job on the article. -- Jreferee ^(Talk) 21:37, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi Outspan, what a great outcome! I really hope this article makes it to DYK! I'll keep a watch on the talk page and see if I can help any further. If you ever need help with anything on Wikipedia in the future, feel free to leave a message on my talk page. I hope you stay around! --JayHenry 06:14, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

I second that hope. Keep taking bold initiatives. Ichormosquito 07:21, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

On 25 August 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Christine Gambito, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

[edit] RE:Template

I'm a beginner myself when it comes to templates, I would personally try to adapt one from another page. What kind of infobox are you trying to make? DarthGriz98 14:05, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Happy Slip

Why did you remove the link to ugcDb from the Christine's page? Froopstr 06:30, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
