2011 Egyptian Revolution
Hi, Shalgal. I have changed back your edits to the Police Brutality section of the 2011 Egyptian Revolution article, as the way you worded it does not agree with the citation provided. There is no rich father mentioned, and no bribe. If you have another source for this information please feel free to re-add, but this source does not contain that information. I have also undone your edit to the format of the section headers, as your way does not agree with the Wikipedia style guidelines. Regards, -- Diannaa (Talk) 15:03, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi Dianna. Thank you for your editing and verification actions. I appreciate it. However, there is a mention of everything I have written in the article by Jack Shenker towards the end of his article. I will re-add that information to reflect the material written in his article. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shalgal (talk • contribs)


 * I have read the whole article and the word "Bribe" is not used and the word "rich" is not used. I am going to post further remarks on the talk page of the article where other interested editors can take part in the discussion. -- Diannaa (Talk) 17:45, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi Dianna. Even though the words "bribe" and "rich" were not used, the actions mentioned in the article show that because of the influence and covert actions of that father the prisoners were released. I am also attaching references to article to show the wealth and influence of Ayman Nour and other articles of police corruption. I appreciate your efforts to preserve the accuracy of the information but I will consolidate information for the ease of the readers.

Spelling
Shalgal, also please note that we are using British English at the article, and spellings such as 'criticized' are actually incorrect and 'criticised' preferred. Thanks, Ocaasi c 18:49, 9 April 2011 (UTC) you can sign your posts too by typing ~ four times after your comment, like ~ .)

Hi Ocaasi, Thanks for your feedback. However, technically according to Wikipedia my spellings were correct. Check out Wikipedia's official policy.

Should I use American English or British English?

People contribute to the English language Wikipedia in every possible variety and dialect of formal written English. The English language Wikipedia particularly welcomes contributions from editors whose first language is not English. Still, it is generally good form to keep usage consistent within a given article. The official policy is to use British (AKA "Commonwealth") spelling when writing about British (or Commonwealth) topics, and American for topics relating to the United States. General topics can use any one of the variants, but should generally strive to be consistent within an article. See Wikipedia's Manual of Style for a more detailed explanation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:FAQ/Contributing#Should_I_use_American_English_or_British_English.3F
