 * For help, take a look at the introduction.
 * The following is the log entry regarding this message: Octavia E. Butler was changed by Gr8info (u) (t) ANN scored at 0.856629 on 2022-04-14T00:45:00+00:00
 * In my experienced opinion, yours was a 'good faith' edit, i.e., not vandalism, although I agree that the sentence read better without "enough" added. ClueBot NG does sometimes err. David notMD (talk) 02:44, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

Spelling
Words can be in American English or British English spelling (see Manual of Style/Spelling), and should not be arbitrarily changed from one to the other. David notMD (talk) 11:50, 20 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the info - I was wondering about that as I did know the difference between the British and American spellings. What about if both the British spelling and American spellings reside in the same article, should I leave them or update them so they all match? Thanks Gr8info (talk) 13:26, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
 * That exact question comes up frequently. Personally, on the scale of "Will this improve the article?" I consider that level of copyediting as low yield, so I don't bother. Look at the Talk page of Manual of Style/Spelling and you will see many other opinions expressed. David notMD (talk) 16:14, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

Welcome
I am here to help you navigate Wikipedia as part of the Mentor program. Please feel free to ask questions on my Talk page.
 * Here, or at editor and article Talk pages, remember to 'sign' your comments by typing four of ~ at the end.
 * Format for comments is to start with one more : than the previous comment. The : does not appear, but it indents the comment.
 * See User pages for how to create your user page (what can and cannot be put there). A User page is not mandatory, but having any content there, even "Hello", will make your User name appear in blue rather than red. David notMD (talk) 17:41, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
