English varieties
Hi Maddiehodgdon: Just a quick note to let you know why I undid your edits on the pelican article. In general, it's considered poor form to change the spelling of an article from British English to American English (or vice versa). The sole exception to this is if the entire article has to do with a subject that falls into one spelling "area". (For example, an article about a town in New Jersey should be in American English, while the one about Manchester, England should be in British English.) The pelican article was started in British English (that's the first identifiable English variety, if you go to the earliest versions of the article), so it remain in British English. Your other change (its to it's) was incorrect. The possessive form never uses the apostrophe! :) MeegsC (talk) 19:59, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Recent edit to American Sign Language
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you made a change to an article, American Sign Language, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!
