National varieties of English
Hello. In a recent edit to the page Boiling, 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 first 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. Sundayclose (talk) 13:33, 25 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi,
 * It’s possible that I may have been confused by a part of the manual of style used on Wikipedia. Specifically this paragraph:
 * ”Where more than one style or format is acceptable under the MoS, one should be used consistently within an article and should not be changed without good reason.”
 * I made my change to one word which was not consistent with the style used throughout the rest of the page, because as a bit of a neat freak, it drove me crazy and I thought it was something I was supposed to do. Is this something I should avoid doing in the future?
 * Thank you. Cheddre (talk) 13:45, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I can understand your confusion. For topics not related to either the United States or Great Britain, you use the form of English that is used when the article is created. That would be 2006 with this version: this version, which is British English. But the article currently has some words in American English. Feel free to change those to British English.
