Your edits at California Trout
Hey, it's good to see you getting in there and trying to improve Wikipedia. It takes a lot of hands to keep this going, and every effort is appreciated.

In the case of these edits that you made to the California Trout article, the edits you've made run up against some of the quirks of Wikipedia and our Manual of Style:
 * You changed the capitalisation of CalTrout to Caltrout. The group itself uses CalTrout, and while we don't follow all of an organisation's capitalisation preferences (many groups like to name themselves IN ALL CAPITALS, and we accept that only if each letter stands for something or is separately pronounced as a letter), we do accept "camel case" with individual capitals in the middle of the name if that form is commonly used. (See MOS:CAMELCASE for details.) As such, CalTrout is preferred.
 * You changed the spelling of organization to organisation. Both are legitimate English language spellings with the "s" version used more in the UK and the "z" version used in the US. If this were an article on a worldwide topic, the choice of spelling wouldn't much matter. However, California Trout is a group based in and focused on the US. When a topic has ties to a specific region, we prefer that region's variant of English. (See MOS:TIES for details.) As such, organization is preferred.

I hope that you find this helpful, and that you go on editing Wikipedia for a long time to come! --Nat Gertler (talk) 14:55, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
