Please see our WP:ENGVAR policy regarding American/British spellings (in short; do not change spelling variants unless (1) the subject is inherently British or American or (2) changes have been made that are inconsistent with the original article).

Sorry, I wasn't sure about artifact > artefact. --Texterone (talk) 03:27, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] March 2008

In a recent edit to the page Typeface, 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. Steve Crossin (talk to me) 06:33, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

I need to get a grip on myself...:-( --Texterone (talk) 06:35, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] whitespace

Hi Texterone,

Rather than manually adding whitespace, which displays differently on different browsers and screen sizes, and which in any case will just be reverted by AWB bots, you can use the {{clear}} template, as I just did on glyph. That will force the next line or section to start after any images that come before it. — kwami (talk) 18:39, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

thx, I didn't know that. I checked with three browsers, but using the template ist better, of course. --Texterone (talk) 11:03, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
