Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they 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". A lot of inexperienced editors don't understand what we mean by "minor", I avoid tagging anything as minor, just add the edit summary "ce" for copy edit instead.

Calling one person "recruiters" at Turning Point USA was very misleading
Or did I miss something? Doug Weller talk 13:06, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

, can you clarify what you mean? If I was misleading it wasn't my intent, I mean SnoogansSnoogans even said "... there was nothing in your text to justify the language that multiple TPUSA recruiters were assaulted …". What are your thoughts on me making an edit more in line with what SnoogansSnoogans suggested, that I focus more on the executive order signed by Trump protecting free speech on campus with a brief mention of the physical assault on Berkeleys campus to a "single" TPUSA recruiter?

 * Struggling with a raging toothache and I really don't think I want to get involved. My point was the plural/singular isssue. Doug Weller  talk 18:11, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

National varieties of English
Hello. In a recent edit, 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. Thank you. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 15:33, 2 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Just to add to the standard message: sometimes there is a reason to change between national varieties, e.g. to maintain consistency within an article or align it with the subject's national ties, but if you do that please say so in the edit summary rather than using a generic one like "corrected spelling" (which is also not technically correct). As it is I wasn't sure whether you did this on purpose or just didn't realise that the articles weren't written in American English. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 15:38, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
