User talk:Jessebones

Hello. In a recent edit to the page Francis Bacon, 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. S0091 (talk) 21:28, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Magpie duck. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Changing the established variety of English spelling in an article is disruptive, please stop doing that.

 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.


 * I apologize; I'm new to Wikipedia editing and I thought that since most of the articles were written in American English that they should be changed. I will no longer do that, thanks for informing me. Jessebones (talk) 00:30, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
 * It's okay, as long you don't continue. My message was slightly harsh because S0091 had already left a message here to explain various English spelling guidelines. It's one of those style issues that most of us don't realize until we do it wrong. (I "fixed" spelling "errors" myself at first until I learned better!) Welcome to Wikipedia, and I hope you enjoy editing! Also, if you have questions on your learning curve, you're welcome to ask me, just leave a message on my talk page.
