Flour
I've reverted you there. That article used American English and your changes are against our guideline at WP:ENGVAR. Also reverted you at Biscuit as you added unsourced material (and a statement that scones don't use eggs, which is wrong as a general statement (and so unsourceable).

Chevy Chase (Washington, D.C.)
I've reverted your edit (again) to Chevy Chase. The word "redistrict" is a common and well-understood verb in US English, indeed sufficiently so that there is an entire Wikipedia page, Redistricting, devoted to the gerund. The article was clearer before your edits, and it should stay the way it is. Thanks. JohnInDC (talk) 12:39, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

"Through" vs "through to"
In American English, it's pretty clear. "Through" is inclusive of the target date or place. "Through 1966" would mean, "including the year 1966". Similarly "no through road" means, "you can get onto this road but not past it". "To" on the other hand means "up to but not necessarily including", rather like "until". "I will work to January 1" is the same as "I will work until January 1" and can mean that no work will be done on January 1.

By adding "to" the word "through" you both 1) create a prepositional combination that is unfamiliar to American ears (as an American TV series, Bewitched is written in American English); and 2) ambiguous where it was not before. So please stop making that edit. Thanks. JohnInDC (talk) 11:03, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
