Road Articles Lead Section
You are changing an established format in WP:CANROADS. Please start a discussion point about the issue before making sweeping changes to many articles that I now have to waste my time reverting. -- Acefitt 08:14, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

Style decisions apply to entire articles
I have reverted your edit to "Metrication" because MOS:DATES states "Where this manual provides options, consistency should be maintained within an article unless there is a good reason to do otherwise."

In other words, format decisions about dates apply to the whole article, not one section or one sentence at a time. Similar language can be found in WP:MOS for other style matters.

An example of a good reason to use a format different from the rest of the article would be a direct quote. Jc3s5h (talk) 16:31, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

Changing dates
Don't change from dmy to mdy just because you don't like them. See Strong national ties to a topic and Retaining existing format. Basically Canadian dates can be in either style and if the article is already in one style leave it like that. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 02:57, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

National varieties of English
Hello. In a recent edit to the page Borderlands 3, 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. Thank you.  Sandstein  17:00, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

Damaging edit
This edit damaged the article and the consensus on the talk page was to include it. Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:41, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
