National varieties of English[edit]

Information icon Hello. In a recent edit to the page Steve Irwin, 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. Leonidlednev (talk) 16:29, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Conjoined words and apostrophes[edit]

Hi, I just wanted to say that a lot of your edits, while good-intentioned, are not grammatically correct. A lot of the things you're fixing for grammatical reasons are in fact making them worse. For example, apostrophes aren't used in plurals (so 1980s is correct, 1980's is wrong). Additionally you're splitting conjoined words into their constituent parts, even when they're correct in the first place (cutscene is correct, cut scene is wrong). I'm glad you're trying to improve Wikipedia and you're of course welcome to edit, but if you're not sure about grammar it's probably best to leave it as it is. Thanks. — Czello 16:43, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
