National varieties of English

Hello. In a recent edit to the page Algeria, 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. M.Bitton (talk) 22:49, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

Oh ok. Antrotherkus (Talk to me!) 23:50, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 17:05, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

Explaining your edits

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that one or more recent edit(s) you made did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! — Manticore 21:03, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi Antrotherkus! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. — Manticore 21:03, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi Mᴀɴᴛɪᴄᴏʀᴇ! I'll go ahead and summarize my edits from now on. Also, thanks for informing me as to what "minor edit" actually meant. — Antrotherkus ^{Talk to me!} 23:24, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

Please be more careful when fulfilling Edit Requests

Hello, I noticed that you recently fulfilled edit requests made by an editor who has a long history of inaccurate and/or unreliable sourcing. Apparently you did not read all the comments on the La Rambla Building article, and you reinstated the original request with the wrong page numbers. When fulfilling these requests, you need to actually read the sources and compare them to the text that is requested to make certain that the two line up, rather than just making a change without checking. Could you please go back over the other articles by the same editor to make sure you did those correctly? And please read the talk page comments first. There has been a team of editors working to mentor the article creator for years on how to properly source content. Fulfilling an edit request that is wrong is not constructive. Please be more careful in the future and double check your work and the requester's work before implementing changes. Thank you. Courtesy ping @Graywalls Netherzone (talk) 00:02, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Also a problem with Seven Arts article - you reinstated incorrect page numbers. Netherzone (talk) 00:06, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

And wrong page numbers on the Reardon Building article. You need to read the edit requests, talk page discussions and check the text against the sources before implementing changes. Netherzone (talk) 00:09, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

You also completed an edit request on Los Laureles Lodge but according to the talk page discussion, there was not yet consensus for the edit to be made. Please be more careful in the future. Netherzone (talk) 01:41, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Apologies for not reading the discussions attached to edit requests before. I shall do so in the future. Thank you. — Antrotherkus ^{Talk to me!} 18:14, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks in advance! Netherzone (talk) 19:05, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

FRIPON, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

Edit to Dubidubidu

Hello. Regarding this edit, linking to well-known countries like Spain, Japan and Chile is considered WP:OVERLINKING. Also, songs are included on albums, not "in" them. Thanks. Ss112 15:25, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Okay! Antrotherkus 16:13, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
