Chasnor15
I saw your comments to User:Chasnor15 on his talk page (though it took me a little while to straighten out what you had written due to subsequent edits that munged your signature). He made three wording changes at Stonyhurst Saint Mary's Hall: I believe you owe Chasnor15 an apology. Matchups 01:08, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * persecution to prohibition--this is a question of fact, not of usage. I am not familiar with the facts, but I suggest that the two of you resolve the issue by reference to reliable sources.
 * before to that--this was a grammatical correction: Chasnor15 was right, and the article was wrong before he fixed it.
 * sport to sports--either is correct; this is a regional variation. Wikipedia standards are not to make changes between equally correct usages or spellings due to regional variation, in order to avoid interminable flip-flopping.  Chasnor15 may not have been aware of this standard, but the edit does not suggest a lack of English fluency.

He made several edits which had to be undone, not just to that page but to numerous others. Mine was not the only complaint on his talk page. I was frustrated after working so hard on the page that someone should come along and spoil it with redirects to the wrong places and lots of brackets around terms which were specifically being described in that article, and so redirected to nowhere. I politely suggested that he not assume an English sentence were wrong *if* English were not his *first* language, an inference left open by the *total* of his contributions. I do not see why I owe him an apology. Imaginativename (talk) 00:05, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

I have just read your article and would like to suggest a change, if I may be so bold. The word "Saint" in the name for SMH has begun to creep into use in recent years when the diminutive "St" is the tradition. I tried to change this in the article (my apologies), but was unsuccessful.
