In a recent edit to the page Reeva Steenkamp, 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, or New Zealand, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author 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. This article is written in South African English, where "neighbour" is spelled with -our, not -or. hydrox (talk) 14:27, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

I will do as I want...your decisions on the behavior and language of wikipedia is not something that I am concerned with. It is a free encyclopedia and I actually had several other changes that I decided not to complete because I was busy. That being said, change it back if you don't like it....I also highly doubt that any subject is exclusive to the United Kingdom, especially one in regards to a citizen from South Africa and an individual from the United States. Fail to see how that subject is exclusive in the United Kingdom.
