Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to A Voyage Round the World, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia.

Hello. In a recent edit to the page The Icepick Surgeon, 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. HorseyChallenge (talk) 14:40, 16 December 2021 (UTC)


 * HorseyChallenge, hi. I firmly believe that a mistake has been made. The book is American. So I have used Use American English there. That's why I do not changed one version of English to another. Thanks. Spotanus (talk) 15:27, 16 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Spotanus, thank you for your response. I posted this here because, while the book is American, it does not have strong enough MOS:TIES to the US given it talks about scientists and scientific atrocities in many different nations. HorseyChallenge (talk) 16:03, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
