[edit]
Hello. In a recent edit to the page Brian Jones, you changed one or more words or styles from one national 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 a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (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 another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the first author of the article used.
In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. 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 questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 04:07, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
- Well, you might want to set up UK articles so that it doesn't have its spell correct alerts set to American English. Those words were flagged as misspellings, or I wouldn't have noticed. When I see spell correct flags, like most people, I automatically respond. Gmf1313 (talk) 05:09, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
As far as I know, the spell check is a function of the browser, not the site. - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 07:51, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
