Hello. Please stop changing articles from "are" to "is". You believe you are fixing grammatical errors, but you are in fact introducing them. Please read British_English and learn about this distinction. We also have documentation on this in the manual of style: MOS:ENGVAR. Further edits of this nature will be rolled back with no further discussion. Thank you.  Warren -talk- 18:06, 5 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Hello. Many thanks for your message. I will stop. This seems to be Wikipedia style for British bands but not those of other nationalities. Sigur Rós and Warpaint for example. I don't like this style discrepancy but it is not a battle I care to fight. However, I must note disagreement with your assertion I am in fact introducing grammatical errors. Please re-read British_English and note: A tendency to drop grammatical number in collective nouns, stronger in British English than in North American English, exists . . . this applies especially to nouns of institutions and groups made of many people. Why then not Google are a company, Oxford are a university? It would be more helpful if you could direct me to specific documentation in MOS:ENGVAR. Thank you.

Please stop making disruptive edits, as you did at WP:AIV. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. ''Your two recent reports at AIV appear to be at best frivolous and some might interpret them as bad faith. Abuse of AIV can get you blocked.'' Ad Orientem (talk) 04:34, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
