National varieties of English
Hello. In a recent edit to the page The Climate Group, 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 first 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. MacAddct1984 (talk &#124; contribs) 18:40, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Please familiarize yourself with the section here: Manual of Style. Once you are familiar with the different varieties of English, you should find it easier to notice when you are modifying text that is correct in a different variant of the language. As a side note, there is generally no need to run articles in place through an automated spell checker, as noted at Spellchecking. Dan Leonard (talk) 18:56, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
 * ok, thnx, I though selecting "North America" only would have avoided such an issue in the first place, but i wanted to start contributing and was following along the "suggested edits" wizard....apparently not?!?!?! soooo I'll read up on this additional info before I attempt any more contributions to wiki, thnx again Lie$0wiki (talk) 20:41, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
 * HOW DO I Know which form of english is being used, beyond American? is there somewhere in the article that states this that I can ck quickly b4 selecting such edits? Lie$0wiki (talk) 20:43, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I would say, generally, it never needs to be changed intentionally. Topics that broadly pertain to a particular region will tend towards that variant of English from the get-go. If you're ever unsure, you can always ask on the specific article's talk page -- MacAddct1984 (talk &#124; contribs) 11:19, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
 * how do you know? read the article. Drmies (talk) 14:02, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
