[edit] Editing Other People's Comments

Please don't edit other people's comments as you did here. It is fine to copyedit article pages and other content, but not users' comments. There is only a small set of reasons why someone's comments should be edited. You may wish to read this Wikipedia:Talk_page_guidelines#Editing_comments. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks. -- JLaTondre 17:53, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

No problem. However, I looked at your contributions and I don't see any other edits to comments after my note. You edited a policy page (Wikipedia:Protection policy), but those weren't comments so that fine. What page were you referring to? -- JLaTondre 18:06, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spelling

I'm intrigued. Why are you going through articles (and, in some cases, talk pages) changing British/Canadian/Australian/Commonwealth English to American English? We have policies regarding national variations of English, here being one example, and in many cases, you are blatantly violating that guideline. --Dreaded Walrus t c 00:39, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Yeah. Firefox, right? Mine does the same thing. The problem is, the Firefox spellchecker isn't that great, and it "corrects" lots of things that are acceptable in Wikipedia settings, too. Such as this edit, where it replaced "noncompliant" (which is a real word, see [1] [2] e.t.c.), and changed wiki to "Wiki", whereas the lowercase version is correct. It is quite difficult to know what to change and what not to change with the Firefox spellchecker. Still, thanks for the explanation. Just try to be careful. :) --Dreaded Walrus t c 04:00, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
