National varieties of English[edit]

Information icon In a recent edit to the page Jamie Oliver, 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 India, use Indian English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand or Ireland, 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.  Dr Greg  talk  18:53, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Franz Boas[edit]

ThNks for your edits but please don’t capitalise parts of references, eg URL as these are part of the templarptes. It’s also never a good idea to change a quote unless you’ve checked the source and found the quote was wrong. You also added some “the”s that were incorrect.

Categories[edit]

Hi. With regard to this edit. Unless I am overlooking something, and unless Help:Category is changing, there's no reason to add spaces before category names. Guliolopez (talk) 23:08, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
