National varieties of English
Wikipedia policy is that one national variety of English has priority over another. The Wikipedia Manual of Style specifies a number of principles with respect to this, including that, other things being equal, we should retain the variety in which an article has predominantly grown. Changing British English to American English is not "spelling and bad grammar corrections", and there is no reason to do so. You have done this twice in the article Sling (weapon); please do not do so again. JamesBWatson (talk) 21:09, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Editing on talk pages
A couple of points arising out of the presentation of your comment on my talk page. (When I was new to Wikipedia it took me quite a while to get used to how things work, and the same is likely to be so for anyone.) Firstly, when you put a message on a user talk page it helps the user to find the article (or any other page) you are referring to if you link to it. The way to do this is to write sling (weapon) instead of just sling (weapon). This then shows up when your message is read as sling (weapon), with a link to the page in question. Secondly, at the end of your edit put 4 tildes (that is to say ~ ). This will be automatically translated into a signature, with your user name and a link to your user page, which makes it quicker for the person you are writing to to find who you are and, if necessary, to reply to you. (Note that this applies to talk pages: you should not add a signature to an article.)

Writing the above made me realise you have not yet been welcomed to Wikipedia. My apologies: I should have done it when I put my first message here. Anyway, I am now giving you a welcome message (above), and I should just like to say once more welcome. JamesBWatson (talk) 09:15, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
