National varieties of English

edit

  Hello. In a recent edit to the page The Who, 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. - FlightTime (open channel) 03:32, 1 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

September 2021

edit

  Hello, I'm BiologicalMe. I noticed that you recently made an edit to Marlin Perkins in which your edit summary did not appear to describe the change you made. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Additionally, the use of the minor edit tag was not appropriate.

Infobox criminal, minor edits, and edit summaries

edit

Please review {{Infobox criminal}}. The "occupation" field is listed under "alma_mater" and over "employer". See Bernie Madoff for correct usage. There are fields for "charge", "conviction", and "imprisoned". Changing it to "incarcerated felon" is disruptive. You have previously been warned about misleading edit summaries ("fixed typo" when there was no typographical error) and using the minor edit tag for significant content changes, especially in biographies of living persons. Please edit appropriately. BiologicalMe (talk) 15:21, 8 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Trivia

edit

Please stop changing section headers from terms like "Legacy" or "In popular culture" to "Trivia". Wikipedia has a specific policy against open ended trivia sections that have no limit of scope. If an event or person has been depicted in major media products, that is "in popular culture". There is a role for "in popular culture" sections. They can even be stand-alone articles (Cultural depictions of Jesse James). The bar is often to low for inclusion under the restricted scope, so recasting those sections as "trivia" makes it worse. Edit summaries should explain the change and the rationale. "Legacy", spelled correctly, is not a typo, so "Fixed typo" is not an appropriate edit summary.

Repeated

edit

You've done this again on Bernie Madoff ignoring the previous warning. If you repeat it, given your previous history, you will be blocked for longer --Hemanthah (talk) 13:10, 24 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
