National varieties of English
Hello. In a recent edit to the page Restaurants du Cœur, 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.

''We welcome your contributions and it's great to have a new editor interested in improving the encyclopedia in terms of grammar. However, I noticed that you made many changes to the article Restaurants du Coeur that were described as "grammar". But what you did was change the variant of English from the British/Canadian spelling variants to the American variants. Wikipedia, because it is an international encyclopedia, editors creating content from around the world used different varients of English - British English, American English, Canadian English, Australian English, Indian English, etc. Therefore we have a guideline on this: WP:ENGVAR. If an article is originally created in a specific English variant, it should not be changed. Sometimes editors will place a tag on either the article talk page, or in "invisible type" at the top of the article itself. This article did not include a tag, so there is no way you would have known as a new editor.'' Netherzone (talk) 01:48, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
