National varieties of English
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you enjoy your time here. We appreciate your contributions, however in a recent edit to the page CSS Acadia, 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 original 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. If an article is created in a specific English variant (for example the article CSS Acadia was written in Canadian English (similar to British English) it should not be changed to American English. Also if an article has been in a stable state for years in a particular variant, please do not change ENGVAR. Thank you Netherzone (talk) 17:09, 26 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Really sorry, wasn't completely aware of the fact that I didn't need to switch language styles while editing a stable article. Will not repeat this on articles henceforth :) DuckArmy (talk) 17:21, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
 * No worries! It took me a while to understand all the various WP guidelines and policies, there is a lot to learn! I try to place a notification on the talk page articles I create that states which English variant is used. Don't hesitate to ask questions as you continue to contribute to the encyclopedia. The Teahouse WP:TEAHOUSE is a friendly place for new-comers to ask questions about anything, and the Help Desk WP:HELP is good for more technical inquiries. Happy editing!
