Different varieties of English
Hello. In a recent edit to the page Homebuilt computer, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (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 another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the first author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. 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 questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. BlackcurrantTea (talk) 20:40, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Warning users
Not sure what you were thinking at User talk:92.5.101.196. I was warning that user for introducing deliberate errors to an article a week ago, and they haven't edited since. There's no reason for you to immediately give them a further, second warning for the same article.

See WP:WARNVAND for details on how Wikipedia's warning system works. Belbury (talk) 16:05, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

is also free to blank their own talk page if they wish, under Talk page guidelines. You restored the deleted comments and gave them a warning for vandalism. I'd recommend holding off on using warning templates if you're not familiar with how Wikipedia works. --Belbury (talk) 16:09, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
