March 2019[edit]

Information icon Hello. In a recent edit to the page Transmission line, 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. Jc3s5h (talk) 13:10, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Quotations[edit]

Please do not edit quotations as you did at Radio Bremen TV unless you have access to the original. If you change something, you are no longer quoting the source exactly. SpinningSpark 13:26, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In general, please be much more cautious before making "corrections". Another mistake you are making is capitalising unit names as you did here. Unit names are not capitalised in the SI system, and in most other cases as well, even when it is named after a person. Nearly all your edits to date have been reverted because they are erroneous for one reason or another. SpinningSpark 13:34, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
