National varieties of English

[edit]

Information icon Hello. In a recent edit to the page Copper sulfate, 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. FunIsOptional (talk) (use ping please) 12:55, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As per WP:MOS, British English is used by most people all over the world, so British English is to be used in all articles in Wikipedia about all topics, including chemistry. This means that Sulphur is to be written as Sulphur, not Sulfur, which is American English and a spelling mistake as per pronounciation, and that has to removed here and replaced with this instead, so that's why I edited and removed that and and this here, so all my edits are correct only always. 117.251.226.116 (talk) 14:02, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
