[edit]

In a recent edit to the page Plated mail, you changed one or more words from one international 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 subjects exclusively related to Britain (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 other English-speaking countries, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the appropriate variety of English used there. If it is an international topic, use the same form of English the original author used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to the other, even if you don't normally use the version the article is written in. 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 Wikipedia:Manual of Style. If you have any queries about all this, you can ask me on my talk page or you can visit the help desk. Thank you. Laser brain (talk) 03:27, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thanks for the message. Indeed, there is no "standard" in use here. If the subject is specific to an area that uses a particular variety of English, the article uses that variety. For example, London would use British English but Chicago would use American English. For international topics, just respect whatever has been written as long as it is consistent. Hope that makes sense. --Laser brain (talk) 03:52, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Longevity myths

[edit]

I can't believe this sat there with a "weasel" tag. That meant that someone thought it deserved to be in the article in some form. The idea that humans were biologically in ancient times, though not entirely impossible, is indeed very highly improbable. Good edit. Sillyfolkboy (talk) (edits) 16:52, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 20:59, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
