In a recent edit to the page Capital punishment in the United Kingdom, 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. Thank you. clpo13 07:45, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

While your edits to Capital punishment in the United Kingdom are appreciated, please refrain from changing British spellings to American spellings. The article is primarily about a British subject, ergo it should use British spelling. --clpo13 08:16, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I understood that from your first message: how do I say simply that I will comply?--User59 08:25, 18 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I posted the second message because I noticed you had still changed from British to American after the first comment. I left the rest of your edits (additions and removal of wikilinks) alone, though. --clpo13 08:34, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * and you didn't know whether I'd pressed enter and read your message? I was (and it is was) doing it because I can stand the editor showing up spelling error.  A colleague from Utah told me the worst thing about the British is being interrupted on The Tube and told how to pronounce something properly.  We British are arrogant about our variation of English is definitely not superior.  However, as I've said, I will observe as you ask.  It was a fair request.  Oh, and I am NOT going to edit every adjective and slip in an unrequited "u" out of sarcasm (tempted, but no).--User59 08:46, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I didn't mean to offend. I figured, given the changes, that you were one of the innumerable American editors who feel that British English spellings are wrong and that Wikipedia is an American website. Also, if it's just about the spelling errors showing up, I think you can get dictionaries (for your browser, word processor, whatever you may be using) that uses British English so it won't show errors for "offence" and "colour" and such. Just a thought. Anyways, no harm no foul. Sorry if any toes were trodden on. --clpo13 09:03, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Independent Police Complaints Authority
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Independent Police Complaints Authority, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. ninety:one 19:17, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Kpolrd01.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Kpolrd01.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.
