Advice: Which version of English on Wikipedia
Wikipedia has millions of readers. Some use American English. Some use British English (also known as International English). Some also use local forms like Australian English, Canadian English, Hiberno-English, Indian English, etc.
Because of this, Wikipedia has a policy of respecting articles written in whatever form of English the original author of the article used.
The guidelines are simple:
- If the topic is exclusively about something to do with Britain, for example, a member of the British Royal Family, or British geography, a famous British person, etc, use British English.
- If a topic is exclusively about some to do with the United States, for example an American president, or Hollywood, or an American author, etc, use American English.
- If it is an international topic, use whatever form of English the original author used. So if the article is written in British English, and uses colour, don't change it to color or vice-versa. Remember, American English often uses a z where British English uses an s, for example, recognize/recognise.
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 version of English. They in turn should respect yours.
The general rules on how Wikipedia articles are written can be seen in our Wikipedia:Manual of Style. Type in WP:MS and you'll see the page.
If you have any queries about all this, just ask anyone on Wikipedia and they will help you. Enjoy your time on the internet's fastest growing encyclopædia (or encyclopedia, if you write it that way!). Thank you. Lectonar 12:33, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
Sources for Lady Dorothy Cavendish[edit]
Hello, good work on Lady Dorothy Cavendish, and thanks for the contribution. However, you forgot to add any references to the article. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and there is currently a push to encourage editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. What websites, books, or other places did you learn the information that you added to Lady Dorothy Cavendish? Would it be possible for you to mention them in the article? Thank you very much. - SimonP 05:11, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
David Norman[edit]
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article David Norman, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of David Norman.

The article Jenico Preston, 17th Viscount Gormanston has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- is notability inherited??
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
