In a recent edit, you changed one or more words from one international 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. The Resident Anthropologist (talk) 02:09, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. --John (talk) 02:56, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Tire / tyre
Hi. I don't get it - in your edits to the Concorde article, you quoted Tire. Leaving aside the question of whether we can use a WP article as a reliable source (to be honest, I don't think we can, but never mind), I wondered if you had seen the last sentence of that section, which currently reads: "However, over the course of the 20th century tyre became established as the standard British spelling." Believe me, I do not want to sound rude or sarcastic but doesn't quoting that demolish your case? You will find that this topic gets discussed on the article's Talk page from time to time: I think I'd recommend joining in that discussion before editing the article so much - but of course it's your decision - WP:BOLD and all that.
