National varieties of English

In a recent edit to the page Alan Moore, 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, or New Zealand, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author 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. Binksternet (talk) 06:54, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

Also dates. Please stop messing around with the formatting of dates. See WP:DATETIES. Jheald (talk) 01:54, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Brian Crawford. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Algonquin Provincial Park, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.  BC  _{talk to me} 22:13, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Also here. --Finngall ^talk 15:31, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

Hmm, it looks like I followed the instructions correctly. I wonder what went wrong. I read the steps several times over, and I can't see where the problem originates.Hko2333 (talk) 13:39, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

I'll try again soon, and hopefully if I follow the instructions step-by-step I can avoid whatever went wrong. Hko2333 (talk) 19:13, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Benjamin Radford

Hi. Please do not cite Wikipedia article as their own sources, as you did with this edit to Benjamin Radford. Doing so constitutes circular sourcing, and isn't acceptable on Wikipedia. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 13:25, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Commas

Hello, re your edits to radiation therapy, I like serial commas too, but Wikipedia has no official position on their presence or absence, so please don't make edits just to add them unless they resolve ambiguity. Graham87 07:08, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

Re this edit summary, if you don't show any indication of having received my previous message, you may be blocked. Users must be responsive to concerns expressed on their talk page here. Graham87 16:30, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

Blocked

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text at the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Graham87 10:03, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

You have been unresponsive to messages left on your talk page. To get unblocked, you must show that you have understood the messages above. Graham87 10:03, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

UTRS appeal ##76244 has been declined, as it did not adequately address the reason for the block. Any future unblock request should be made here. JBW (talk) 16:49, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Hko2333 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

---

Request reason:

As I said in my previous appeal, I promise that I will not use serial commas again. Incidentally, if the admin reviewing this isn't ready to unblock, could I at least have my block changed from indefinite to, say, a week or something. I've been making constructive edits for decades and have never been sanctioned before. Surely, blocks should be escalating rather than going straight to indefinite. To reiterate, I will absolutely not add serial commas to any articles again. Hko2333 (talk) 22:10, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

Accept reason:

Message received, so unblock granted. Graham87 11:04, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

@Graham87: - how do you feel about an unblock? PhilKnight (talk) 08:58, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

Pretty good; done. In Wikipedia there are certain style matters where the initial editor of the page gets to have the final say; serial commas are one of them, but there are more such as English variety and era styles (BC/AD vs. C/CE). Graham87 11:04, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi Hko2333! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at False memory 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. The addition of a reference isn't considered a minor edit; it's the kind of thing another editor may wish to check. Belbury (talk) 09:30, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
