Tip of the day...

Difference between WikiProjects and portals?

What is the difference between WikiProjects and portals?

• WikiProjects are groups of editors who team up to collaborate on developing and maintaining articles or other features or aspects of Wikipedia. There is a Portals WikiProject, for example. WikiProjects are linked to from article talk pages with WikiProject banners like {{WikiProject Politics}} for example, but not from within articles.

• Portals are mainly for readers, providing an alternative doorway into a subject, and can be linked to from articles using the {{Portal}} template in an article's See also section. There may or may not be a WikiProject and a portal on the same subject.

By the way...the WikiProject Portals is currently redesigning and revamping the entire portals system, and could use all the help it can get. New participants are welcome.

Variations of English

Please read WP:ENGVAR. I see you changed an article about an American law to British English, but someone else has reverted you so that's ok now. Note that "ize" is used in American and British English. Doug Weller talk 16:27, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

Most articles use either American or British English. It depends on a couple of things, mainly the content. If it's on a clearly American subject, it will be American English. Most articles to do with British Commonwealth subjects will use British English, some will use Indian English. Sometimes it depends on the original creator's use. Some articles will have a message on their talk page or a "hidden message" that you see when you edit. One point I will make is many editors don't realise that the spelling "ize" can is both British and American. Doug Weller talk 18:10, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
