National varieties of English

Hello. In a recent edit to the page Perth, 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. Certes (talk) 18:39, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Quotations usually appear verbatim, even if they use unusual spellings or punctuation or do not match your preferred variety of English. This is especially important for titles of books, chapters, etc. as it allows the reader to search for the source more easily. For example, although you made several correct and welcome improvements to Angel, I've had to revert your edit because it mixed them with so many unwanted changes to direct quotation that I was unable to distinguish the two accurately and efficienty.

Hello, you did this again at Barrhaven, so I reverted your edits. Please be more careful in the future and pay attention to WP:ENGVAR. -- Earl Andrew - talk 20:56, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
