National varieties of English

Stop with your stupid warning and actually read what I am saying. You cannot call an article British and then start translating DIRECT QUOTES. In US English your left wing part is still the LaboUr part, not the Labor Part. Why because that is its given name. Same with the IMF Banking CentERs. That is their given name. So WARNING, START acting like a WIKI encyclopedia and stop acting like a British imperialist. It's just those IMF definitions in this case. This article has always been in British English and I TOTALLY respect that. I do not respect the lack of your reading and logic skills. As for the include a citation. You are correct, but in the edit I made, there was a link to the IMF's page that discussed the Financial Centers. AGAIN, that is all I changed, as they are in my opinion direct quotes. Just as when I would quote George Washington, I would have to write British English. It doesn't make the article less British. It makes it more correct and less original researchy. Because that's what it looks like right now. The IMF does not define Offshore Financial Centres. Sorry; It just doesn't.

Just as a general comment, American banks would have Profit and Revenue, not turn over. I know this makes the article potentially harder to read this way, but that is what is reported by them. And so some of the New York terms might be different than the London terms. The last part is more my OPINION. The IMF-defined words case is just clearly defined by WIKI. And the only thing you can do is claim that some other rule would override that particular WIKI rule.

This article has always been in British English and I TOTALLY respect that. Then why remove the "Use British English" template? I don't quite get what you are saying about the Labour/Labor part, I think you might have meant something different from what you actually wrote. I haven't had anything to do with the IMF stuff as far as I recall, so I can't comment on that. Mako001 (C)  (T)  🇺🇦 12:18, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

Hello. In a recent edit to the page Financial centre, 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. Lord Belbury (talk) 10:48, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Consider this a second warning for the above. Stop changing stuff to American English. If you persist in doing so, you may lose your editing privileges Mako001 (C)  (T)  🇺🇦 07:40, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

I should perhaps make it clearer that the above refers to doing so inappropriately, some of your changes (Such as on Organization studies) have been appropriate. Mako001 (C)  (T)  🇺🇦 12:20, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Hello, I'm Mako001. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Tape bias, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Mako001 (C)  (T)  🇺🇦 07:36, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
