[edit] May 2008

In a recent edit to the page Survivor: Micronesia, 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. I appreciate your fixing all those typos in articles, but please be careful because some have been inappropriate. For example, in the US at least, Superintendent is spelled with an "e" and isn't hyphenated. You're doing good work in general, just please be a bit more careful. Thanks! —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 00:06, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Spelling correction at WP:AIV

I noticed that you edited someone else's comment for clarity, spelling or grammar. As a rule, please refrain from editing others' comments without their permission. Though it may appear helpful to correct typing errors, grammar, etc., please do not go out of your way to bring talk pages to publishing standards, since it is not terribly productive and will tend to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. For more details, see Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. Thank you. ➨ ЯEDVEЯS looks at danger and laughs his head off 21:51, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hello and

thanks a lot for your corrections on the René Guénon article. English is not my mother language so it's very likely I make lot of errors. Thanks again. TwoHorned (talk) 08:37, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for your corrections on Les Misérables (Netherlands). My English is on High-School-level, so it is not so good. Markmu06 (talk) 18:22, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
