Welcome!

Hello, Briannia Barfield, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

English variants

Hi. I noticed that in your edit to Beryl Gilroy's biography you switched the spelling to American English. The rule on Wikipedia is that you generally shouldn't switch articles from one version of English to another, and that when the subject of an article has a strong connection to one type of English, you should use the appropriate form. Since Gilroy was Guyanese/British, you should use Guyanese or English spellings, not American. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:39, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
