 * Hello, thank you for your message. I’m trying to hold onto proper grammar and stop the dilution to a version of English that doesn’t take note of its historical origins. This was my very first attempt. An invention or event or such like is named after a person, not for them. I cannot work out when or why the change from the word after to the word for occurred. We already see the situation where the letter u is left out of words such as colour which is a part of the crumbling of our English language. 194.223.178.97 (talk) 17:15, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello. In a recent edit, you changed one or more words or styles from one national 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, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article 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. --Srleffler (talk) 03:02, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
