Please slow down on your changes. One minor issue is that some breakage of the markup has occurred: perhaps you are copy/pasting from a text editor which is not handling UTF-8 characters? For example, see the bad character after the "See also" heading in this version. Another matter is that we do not change the style of an existing article (with certain exceptions, which generally require a fair bit of prior discussion). That means "legalized" is not changed to "legalised"—see WP:ENGVAR. Also, &amp;nbsp; is a non-breaking space so there should not be a space after it, as was done for  at Hundredweight.

Also, please be aware that there have been very disruptive disputes in the past where people have wanted to say that the UK either does or does not follow imperial measurements...I think that was the gist of it, at any rate there was some battle that I did not pay much attention to. The bottom line is that we need to be take a cautious approach, preferably with discussion on article talk pages. It might be best to start at one page and propose small changes on its article talk page, for example, Talk:Imperial units. Changes need to be supported by reliable sources. Questions can be asked at WP:HELPDESK, or try my talk page. Happy editing! Johnuniq (talk) 05:11, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

Another point, please do not mark edits as "minor" unless they involve trivial changes, for example to correct an obvious spelling mistake (see WP:MINOR).

 * I just reverted the edits to ton. As well as being contentious, you keep using the edit summary "Corrected the[sic] previous user's error". This is a Red Flag, which is almost guaranteed to get you reverted. Imaginatorium (talk) 09:39, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Wtmitchell. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to Gallon— because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 05:29, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
