Welcome!
Hello, Spy88, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:

You may also want to take the Wikipedia Adventure, an interactive tour that will help you learn the basics of editing Wikipedia. You can visit The Teahouse to ask questions or seek help.

I have just reverted a combined edit by a new user Spy88 and referred to this talk page in the edit summary rather than summarize it all in a few words. There's a few points. The changes are POV, or presenting a point-of-view. Wikipedia needs to remain neutral. Both supporting and opposing views can be included, if accompanied by reliable sources. It reads like an essay, rather than a statement of fact. You changed the lead significantly. The lead is only intended to be an introduction to the subject, and not all-encompassing. Some spellings were changed that were already correct. See the appropriate page re UK/US spellings. Can I suggest, (and this is not a rule but only a suggestion) that you make a small edit at a time, with a few words in the edit summary to show what you are including or deleting and why. Feel free to discuss anything you want to edit here and any of us will be able to advise.--Dmol (talk) 07:36, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
