Stop changing the word "caliber" to "calibre" in the template of AA-52 machine gun.

• French spelling is irrelevant. This is the English Wikipedia, in which articles are written in a variety of English dialects.
• The word "caliber", here, pertains to the syntax of the template. It is indeed improper for this article to display "caliber" because the article is in British English (not in French), but by changing to "caliber" to "calibre" in the template, you merely make the field incomprehensible for the template and prevent the information from being displayed. Displaying the term "calibre" in the template is done by setting the variable "is_UK=yes", not by removing "caliber" from the template. Rama (talk) 12:09, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Stop being abusive

Stop being abusive. Stop leaving rude meassge for people. Stop blindly reverting changes without explantion.

Not very nice is it?

The world 'please' is only six letters but goes a very long way in not annoying people and ensuring a constructive dialogue. You have constantly revert changes without any explantion, and when you finally deem to both to communicate you simply leave rude and unhelpful messages. And, as opposed to what you claim spelling is important and spelling that is relevant to the subject of the article is also important.

It may be worth your while stepping back for a short period and re-considering how your treat others.

Three-revert rule warning

You are in danger of violating the three-revert rule on Joy Division. Please cease further reverts or you may be blocked from editing. Note: Three reverts in under two hours. DocKino (talk) 09:15, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Ditto above. Wwwhatsup (talk) 04:42, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Edit warring at Rooster

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Rooster. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. XLerate (talk) 10:08, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

• Please do not post inappropriate warnings - it has been you who started "an edit war" by blindly reverting legitimate changes and ignoring contribution by others.
• Posting unwarranted warnings is aggresive and unwelcome, and risk creating negative feelings.
• Please do not remove references as you have done at the article.

Please Respect National Varieties of English

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 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. For something related to other English-speaking countries, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the appropriate variety of English used there. 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 Wikipedia:Manual of Style. If you have any queries about all this, you can ask me on my talk page or you can visit the help desk. Thank you. GorillaWarfare ^talk 01:52, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

American English

American English is used in American subjects as Dymaxion house. Please do not edit Wikipedia simply to change national varieties of English. See WP:ENGVAR for details on Wikipedia's policy on the subject. (Also NE is Nebraska, not New England.) Rmhermen (talk) 02:26, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Hello,

• My mistake re.'NE', although it does prove my point about it being a meanigless abbreviation.
• Thank you for the reply. The spelling of 'aluminium' is not a national issue. The use of 'aluminium' is the correct spelling, which has been set by the relevant professional body, The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. You will see this was noted in the edit summary of Dymaxion House. Equally whilst 'sulphur' is prefered in many countries the IUPAC set the correct spelling as 'sulfur.' Consequently I have reverted.
