Your edits of Ministry of Magic
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 subjects exclusively related to Britain (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. If it is an international topic, use the same form of English the original author used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to the other, even if you don't normally use the version the article is written in. 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 queries about all this, just ask anyone on Wikipedia and they will help you. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 01:21, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

British English
Hi Michael j. iwai, I see you've already been cautioned about changing articles from one form of English to another. As Harry Potter is a British series, we use British spelling in all Harry Potter related articles. You may be mistaking these for typos; I'd recommend discussing these things on the article's talk page before changing any more. Cheers, faithless   (speak)  01:25, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. However, adding content of marginal relevance (unnecessary trivia) to articles is not considered productive. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. -Severa ( !!! ) 00:39, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
