National varieties of English

Information icon Hello. In a recent edit to the page Kristina Pimenova, 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 first 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. TJRC (talk) 17:15, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In addition definitely do not alter quotations to conform to your preferred spelling, as you did in that edit.
I note that you have already warned about these types of edits, and have merely the warning. Please be aware that "The removal of a warning is taken as evidence that the warning has been read by the user; this is true whether the removal was manual or automatic, and includes both registered and unregistered users. When you remove these warnings, it is assumed that you understand what they are about and will not continue to violate Wikipedia policy. TJRC (talk) 17:20, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
