Jordan Belfort
Hey - thanks for taking a look at the Jordan Belfort page. I'd appreciate, though, if perhaps you'd consider modifying or self-reverting your edit?

You've made two changes, which is that the article now says that Belfort was a stockbroker and that he owned Stratton Oakmont. Both these issues are disputed. For the second, see the discussion at Talk:Stratton Oakmont. For the second, see the discussion at Talk:Jordan Belfort. I don't believe there's any WP:RS that Belfort was ever a legitimate stockbroker. Regarding SO, Danny Porush was, at a minimum, the nominal owner or partial owner of SO. Concealment of actual ownership was part of the SO fraud.

National varieties of English
Hello. In a recent edit to the page Nick Mason, 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. - FlightTime  ( open channel ) 20:56, 16 August 2019 (UTC)


 * @FlightTime my apologies. I did not know that this was a stylistic distinction, I thought it was just a typo. Sorry for the late response :) Sourgosling (talk) 05:03, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
