Can I draw your attention to Manual_of_Style. Whilst your "grammatical error" fixes might be correct according to US style guides, the do not follow UK style guides. In this particular case, Wikipedia has chosen to side with the UK. You may wish to review your edits so far, and retract these particular changes. I advise you discontinue making such changes.

Wikipedia discourages changing spelling or grammar from one English variant to another. As an international encyclopaedia, it just ends up annoying someone, somewhere.

That said, copy-editing articles is very welcome and I don't want to discourage you in any way. Have a look at How to copy-edit.
