National varieties of English[edit]

Information icon Hello. In a recent edit to the page Shunga, 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. Donald Albury 19:17, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just to pile on here, you should not change the national variety of English in which an article is written without first discussing the change on the article's Talk page and gaining consensus. Your insistence that the style of English used in an article about a non-English-speaking country should conform to that country's preferred version of English is mistaken. Thanks for wanting to improve Wikipedia.--Quisqualis (talk) 07:20, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
