Versions of English
Please be aware that American spelling isn't the only version of English spelling, and that it isn't any more correct than the spellings used by other nationalities. In a recent edit to the page John Lennon, you changed one or more words from one international variety of English to another. Wikipedia is not written just for (or by) Americans. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For subjects exclusively related to Britain (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 other English-speaking countries, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the appropriate variety of English used there. If it is an international topic, use the same form of English the original author used. Please be respectful of editors and readers with nationalities other than your own.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to the other, even if you don't normally use the version the article is written in. 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 queries about all this, you can ask me on my talk page or you can visit the help desk. Ward3001 (talk) 17:02, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Barack Obama‎
Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. Please remember to observe our core policies. Ward3001 (talk) 17:17, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Please do not rush to insert up-to-the-minute news items in Wikipedia articles that could quickly change from week to week or even day to day, as you did to Barack Obama. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a newspaper. Please try to edit articles with regard to long-term historical perspective and not inflate the importance and effect of a topic that has received recent media attention. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Manning tyree catch.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:Manning tyree catch.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file from a commercial source (e.g. Associated Press, Getty Images), where the file itself is not the subject of sourced commentary. If you can explain why the file can be used under the non-free content guidelines, please add the appropriate non-free use tag and rationale.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. —  Red-tailed hawk (nest) 06:18, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
