Spelling changes
Please don't change the spelling of color to colour, or of colour to color, unless the article needs it to be consistent. Since nobody would agree on the white spelling, Wikipedia has guidelines to stop people battling over this. For articles on color/colour, that means to leave them on the original spelling. Please see Manual of Style (Note: link fixed, sorry). Thanks! Notinasnaid 20:31, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

I assume you mean "right spelling" rather than "white spelling"--and "color" IS the right spelling! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Your Beloved Uncle Jimbob (talk • contribs)


 * You are correct, I meant "right" spelling. Apologies. Notinasnaid 20:40, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

In a recent edit, 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 other forms 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. -- Mufka (user) (talk) (contribs) 20:33, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Wales
Wales' is the plural of Wales, not Wales's. David D. (Talk) 16:14, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

No, it's not. Just because a word ends in an "s" doesn't mean that a single apostrophe is sufficient to form the possessive. "The dogs' feet" is correct because "dogs" is plural, but "James' head" is not because "James" is singular. Your Beloved Uncle Jimbob 16:40, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
