Changing spelling
In this edit, I noticed that you changed a number of spellings to apply a British version of English. However, in the process, you changed the name of a US state from "Colorado" to "Colourado", which is not appropriate because the name is of Spanish origins. You also changed "Copper Harbor, Michigan", and "Grayling, Michigan", to "Copper Harbour, Michigan", and "Greyling, Michigan", but those communities do not spell their names like that. Since this in an article about a topic directly connect with the United States, it should be written in American English, meaning "while" instead of "whilst", "gray" instead of "grey". This is backed by community consensus at MOS:ENGVAR to respect the appropriate variation of English.

You also broke all of the HTML comments by changing the exclamation points to periods.  Imzadi 1979  →   22:11, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

National varieties of English
In a recent edit to the page Ted Bundy, 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 India, use Indian 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 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. ''Ted Bundy is a US article, therefore US English applies. Do not attempt to change again.''

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Special route. ''You've been warned about changing the national variety of English in use in an article. In the case of your latest edit, the article primarily uses American examples for a concept based in the US, but even if that weren't the case, the article was originally written in American English and should not be changed without discussion and consensus.''
