A-hem[edit]

Hi. You've been around long enough to be familiar with Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. This includes telling idiots to "fuck off" in edit comments, and referring to other's edits as "retarded". Your sentiments are in the right place, and I agree with you, but please express them in a more civil fashion. Thanks! --jpgordon ∇∆∇∆ 02:48, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

British vs. American spellings.[edit]

Hi,

Just so you know, Wikipedia has a policy of allowing both British and American spellings; if a British spelling needs to be changed to American, or vice versa, please explain why in your edit summary, lest you convey the impression of imposing your spelling system on articles.

(This is in response to your recent edit of Great Vowel Shift.)

Hi,

I just wanted the article to be consistent. "Standardize" had already been written elsewhere in the article, before the occurrence of "standardisation". It just so happens that I am American, too, and standardise is considered wrong according to my Firefox. That is all.

--Karch 15:59, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Consistency is an acceptable reason; your Firefox's dictionary is not. (See Wikipedia:Manual of Style#National varieties of English, BTW.) At any rate, all I ask is that you explain such edits in your edit summary. —Ruakh_TALK 16:07, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reporting vandalism[edit]

Hi. In response to your post on Naconkantari's page and in case he doesn't respond right away, WP:AIV is the page you're looking for. Regards, Newyorkbrad 19:13, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
