June 2011[edit]

In a recent edit, 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 a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (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 another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. 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 Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. ۞ Tbhotch ^™ & (ↄ), Problems with my English? 07:47, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Sheffield Wednesday F.C.. There is a Manual of Style, edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you. ۞ Tbhotch ^™ & (ↄ), Problems with my English? 07:54, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Although the club is singluar, in the UK, any group qualify as a plural, see Radiohead and Coldplay as examples. This is not "bad English" is just a different kind of English. ۞ Tbhotch ^™ & (ↄ), Problems with my English? 07:56, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry, it is a frequent error here. Some people believes that words like "organisations", "colour" and "criticise" are typographical errors, but they are not aware that there are more than American English. ۞ Tbhotch ^™ & (ↄ), Problems with my English? 08:06, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
