National varieties of English

Hello. In a recent edit to the page Canberra-class landing helicopter dock, 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 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. BilCat (talk) 23:55, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

Varieties of English

You have repeatedly been reminded and warned not to change spelling in articles from British English to American English. Yet you persist in doing so, most recently in Wasabi and Horseradish. You are also using the deceptive edit summary "Fixed typo". This is disruptive editing, and if you continue you are likely to have editing privileges removed.

Hello. In a recent edit to the page Pizza box, 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 original author of the article used.

If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Despite repeated warnings, you are still altering the English spelling of articles, using the false argument that the British spelling is a "typo". This is disruptive and against Wikipedia's style guidelines. If you persist in this behaviour, you will be reported to an administrators' noticeboard, and are likely to be restricted from editing. Please stop. RolandR (talk) 20:07, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

Seems to me that the Pizza Box is related to the United States. In the Pizza Box article, please note:

"Disposable packaging started to be developed in the United States, after the Second World War."

This origin comes from the US.

"The first patent for a pizza box made of corrugated cardboard was applied in 1963 and it already displayed the characteristics of today's pizza packaging: plane blanks, foldability without need of adhesive, stackability and ventilation slots."

According to the footnote, this is a US patent.

"It is assumed by brand historians[4] that the pizza box was invented by Domino's Pizza, even if they did not file a patent application."

Domino's Pizza is a US pizza chain.

This evidence leads me to believe that the Pizza Box is related to the United States and should be in American English.

National varieties of English

Hello. In a recent edit to the page Heckler & Koch MP7, 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.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at SIG MCX. You have been warned repeatedly about not changing British spellings to American ones, and incorrectly calling these typos. Meters (talk) 20:45, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Read WP:ENGVAR. Nine months of nothing but English variety changes incorrectly marked as typos. They are not typos, and they should not be changed without good reason. I will put you up for a block the next time I see you do this. Meters (talk) 20:50, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

According to the Wikipedia SIG MCX article:

"The rifle was originally designed by SIG USA, the subsidiary of SIG Sauer based in New Hampshire."

The Variants section states that the rifle is available with a trigger group for the U.S. civilian market. No British, Australian, or Canadian civilian market is mentioned or listed. This relates to the United States.

The Variants section states that under U.S. federal law, rifles with barrels shorter than 16 inches are Title II weapons. No British, Australian, or Canadian federal laws are mentioned or listed. This relates to the United States.

The Variants section states that the SIG MCX Pistol fits the U.S. legal definition of a handgun. No British, Australian, or Canadian legal definitions are mentioned or listed. This relates to the United States.

The Derivatives section states that the SIG MCR-MR was a submission to the U.S. Army's CSASS program. No British, Australian, or Canadian CSASS programs are mentioned or listed. This relates to the United States.

This means it is an American rifle, and Wikipedia clearly states that:

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.

This rifle is related to the United States. Thus the SIG MCX article should be written in American English.

You cannot put me up for a block because I have changed for good reason and this reason is specifically explained in the Wikipedia guidelines. Please read Wikipedia's ENGVAR policy and try to understand it. Thanks.

If you wish to discuss something on my talk page then don't make personal attacks in your edit summary. I have removed your post. Meters (talk) 04:51, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

I didn't make personal attacks in my edit summary. You are wrong yet again. And now you deflect from the real issue which is that your assessment was wrong and the SIG MCX edits were according to Wikipedia guidelines.

24.5.9.174 (talk) 05:00, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make personal attacks on other people, as you did at User talk:Meters/unprotected. Comment on content, not on fellow editors. Stay off my talk page. My edit was not abusive. It was simply a mistake. I was not aware that that article was supposed to be in American English. I checked the recent history, and it appeared that you were making yet another inappropriate and unexplained change of English variant, incorrectly marked as a typo. user:Springee undid me and pointed out that the article had been in American English until a year and a half ago, and I'm fine with that. Sorry I undid you.

In the future, if you are restoring a previously accepted variant, then say so in your edit summary, as Springee did, and do not call it a typo. Meters (talk) 05:22, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

And again. Stay off my talk page. I don't want your personal attacks in the summaries, and I don't want you posting there at all now. Do not make that edit a fourth time. Meters (talk) 05:25, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

I haven't made any personal attacks. I accurately described my edit. You were abusive by threatening me with a block, when I have made the proper and correct edits to the article according to Wikipedia' ENGVAR policy. You threatened me with a block, which is abusing Wikipedia's blocking system. trying to block people who have not done anything wrong is abusive. You made threats against me. This is abusive. Don't be abusive if you don't want to be described as abusive. Abusing Wikipedia's blocking system against someone and making threats against them is abusive and threatening.

According to Wikipedia, personal attacks are:

-Abusive, defamatory, or derogatory phrases based on race, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, religious or political beliefs, disability, ethnicity, nationality, etc. directed against another editor or a group of editors. Disagreement over what constitutes a religion, race, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability or ethnicity is not a legitimate excuse.

-Using someone's affiliations as an ad hominem means of dismissing or discrediting their views—regardless of whether said affiliations are mainstream. An example could be "you're a railfan so what would you know about fashion?" Note that it is not a personal attack to question an editor about their possible conflict of interest on a specific article or topic; but beware – speculating on the real-life identity of another editor may constitute outing.

-Using someone's political affiliations as an ad hominem means of dismissing or discrediting their views, such as accusing them of being left-wing or right-wing, is also forbidden. Editors are allowed to have personal political POV, as long as it does not negatively affect their editing and discussions.

-Linking to external attacks, harassment, or other material, for the purpose of attacking another editor.

-Comparing editors to Nazis, communists, terrorists, dictators, or other infamous persons. (See also Godwin's law.)

-Accusations about personal behavior that lack evidence. Serious accusations require serious evidence, usually in the form of diffs and links.

-Threats, including, but not limited to:

-Threats of legal action

-Threats of violence or other off-wiki action (particularly death threats)

-Threats or actions which deliberately expose other Wikipedia editors to political, religious or other persecution by a government, their employer, or any others. Violations of this sort may result in a block for an extended period of time, which may be applied immediately by any administrator upon discovery. Admins applying such sanctions should confidentially notify the members of the Arbitration Committee of what they have done and why.

-Threats to out (give out personal details about) an editor.

I didn't make any abusive phrases based on race, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, religious or political beliefs, disability, ethnicity, nationality, etc.

I didn't use your affiliations as an ad hominem means of dismissing your views. I didn't mention any affiliations of yours.

I didn't use your political affiliations as an ad hominem means of dismissing your views. I didn't mention any political affiliations of yours.

I didn't link to external attacks, harassment, or other material.

I didn't compare you to Nazis, communists, terrorists, dictators, or other infamous persons.

I didn't accuse you of personal behavior that lacked evidence. The evidence is quite clear that you threatened me with a block. This is abusive.

I didn't threaten you with legal action, violence, or actions which expose you to political, religious or other persecution by a government, employer, or others.

I didn't threaten to give out personal details about you.

I didn't make a personal attack.
