Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Again, welcome! --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 23:17, 2 February 2019 (UTC)

You will notice that I undid your edit, which I totally accept was done in good faith. Per wp:ENGVAR, we have to accept that there are different dialects of English, each with its own spelling conventions. So to avoid endless chopping and changing, we keep whatever spelling is first used. The only exception is where the article is clearly linked to a location, in which case we use the dialect that is used in that location. Please continue to contribute to Wikipedia. We all make mistakes! --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 23:17, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
 * If it is of any consolation, the first time I saw it, I thought it was a typo too. I won't embarrass myself by admitting to all the other mistakes I've ever made over the years!
 * The quick way to sign your contributions to talk pages is to use the little scribble symbol at the top of the editing screen [B I scribble chain mountain pencil Advanced etc], but that is only available in desk-top view. In mobile view, you have to type the four tildes. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 11:31, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi John, just a quick note to say I hadn't seen your kind messages, but I felt they were so kind when I did see them I'd just pop on and say thank you! Admittedly at this point I can't remember what the edit even was but thanks again! :) Alex Ross1983 (talk) 13:36, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
