National varieties of English

In a recent edit to the page Marketing, 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 India, use Indian English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author 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. McGeddon (talk) 13:58, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

I see that after receiving the above message, you changed a spelling of a word in the article Egdon Heath (Holst) to the US version, which was inappropriate, as the article is about a work by a British composer. I also see that earlier you had made similar changes to national style of English, contrary to Wikipedia's manual of style, at Parental investment. Please make sure that you don't continue to make changes of this kind unless there are particular reasons for doing so in particular cases. In addition, the change you made in the article about Egdon Heath changed a singular to a plural, without apparent reason: it is normal in English for a noun functioning as an adjective to retain its singular form.

Copyright

Your recent edit at Fana Broadcasting Corporate added content which was almost 100% word for word the same as text at http://www.fanabc.com/english/index.php/about-fbc/item/139-about-fbc making it an unambiguous infringement of copyright. It is very rarely acceptable to use content copied from elsewhere in any Wikipedia page. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 14:46, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, next time I'll make rewrite. My fault.

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! 220 of ^Borg 13:25, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
