Hello, Rslashkayla and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students. Go through our online training for students

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! SPF121188 (talk this way) (contribs) 15:07, 22 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

National varieties of English

edit

  Hello. In a recent edit to the page Rachael House, 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 original 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, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. Tacyarg (talk) 15:18, 29 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

House style

edit

Please respect the encyclopedia and other editors by sticking to the Wikipedia Manual of Style. In your edits to Rachael House you added a preliminary section heading, and bolded the whole first sentence. Just look at other articles: that is not how Wikipedia works. I've undone those two problems in your edit. PamD 15:22, 29 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

You also introduced several section headings where every major word was capitalised. No, that's not the style. Please take the trouble to learn about Wikipedia's style, either by reading documentation or just by looking at existing articles. Thanks. PamD 15:54, 29 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
