National varieties of English
editHello. In a recent edit to the page Aubrey, 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, please ask the editors at WP:TEAHOUSE. "Mediaeval" is the correct spelling in British English. Julietdeltalima (talk) 23:18, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, it was my understanding that even in British English the spelling mediaeval was dated and as such medieval should be preferred for clarity, but I will refrain from making such edits in the future, thank you for the explanation. 89.135.93.152 (talk) 23:05, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
