National varieties of English

edit

  Hello. In a recent edit to the page The Golden Compass (film), 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. ~~ OxonAlex - talk 17:39, 4 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Paddington (film), you may be blocked from editing. You are currently editing contrary to consensus at Paddington (film). Please see the article's talk page and discuss the issue. SummerPhDv2.0 19:33, 4 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

 

Your recent editing history at Northern Lights (novel) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

You will need to discuss your edits on the article's talk page before making the change again. If you continue without doing so, you will be blocked from editing. SummerPhDv2.0 01:55, 5 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi there, re: this edit, please stop adding unnecessary wikilinks for common words and concept like "community" and "bear" and "donkey", etc. Wikilinks compete for user attention, and extra links just discourage readers from accessing information about concepts they may not actually know about. Thank you. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 03:12, 5 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
