Hello. In a recent edit to the page Project Mohole, 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.   – NJD-DE (talk) 15:46, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

I was reverting a previous edit that did the same thing Editor3296075 (talk) 15:48, 3 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi, it seems this is an article where different users had different opinions in the past about which variety of English to use. As it's an article about a project conducted by an American organization, the American spelling would be preferred. The IP editor tried to fix the article in that way. – NJD-DE (talk) 15:57, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

Fair play, thanks for clarifying the rules to me, I'll bear that in mind in future Editor3296075 (talk) 15:58, 3 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Before I forget: There might be exceptions from the strong-national ties rule (American project --> American English). In specific, if the article has always primarily used one variety of English, then don't change the entire article just so that it conforms with its national tie.
 * It can be a bit confusing at times I know. I hope you like it here anyways. – NJD-DE (talk) 16:04, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know, and for the welcome. I shouldn't have been so petty about it lol Editor3296075 (talk) 16:09, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
