Please do not change spellings from one English variant to another
Hello. In a recent edit to the page Ferruginous duck, 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.  Velella  Velella Talk 20:36, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Thank you for contributing edits that were made in good faith, but have been deemed not to contribute positively to the article. These edits have thus been reverted. Wikipedia's page on unacceptable additions may explain why. If you'd like to experiment with the syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles.

Some good links for newcomers are:

 * Quick guide – a "cheatsheet" listing the main editing commands.
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to create your first article
 * Tutorial

I have reverted your edits at Cotton gin because you introduced several errors. You changed "churka" to "church", you inserted a number of un-grammatical hyphens between adjectives and nouns, you changed "ginning" to "gin", so it reads as though the liquor was being referenced, and you inserted an ungrammatical "a" before the plural compound noun "system gins". - Donald Albury 01:26, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
