metrizable / metrisable

Hi. I am not going to complain about your change https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Base_(topology)&diff=1128458620&oldid=1127575235, but just FYI "metrisable" is the British spelling, which should also be acceptable. Regards. PatrickR2 (talk) 04:41, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

@PatrickR2 Hi, before doing this change, I had searched some dictionaries on the Internet, and I found no entry for the word "metrisable" in

• https://www.dictionary.com/misspelling?term=metrisable

and in

• https://dictionary.cambridge.org/spellcheck/english/?q=metrisable

Additionally, in the Google search engine and its main text area, if you type "metrisable", then the tool of finding typo adds a red underline for "metrisable", meaning that this word has some typo, you can test that. Tnx, Hooman Mallahzadeh (talk) 05:47, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Well, the Cambridge dictionary does not have either of the words "metrisable" and "metrizable". And a search in google books returns many instances with "metrisable". Even the first instance in https://www.google.com/search?q=%22metrisable+space%22&sxsrf=ALiCzsbqctGX-1iIHa0LRkyJPTyMY6UwXg:1671609313927&source=lnms&tbm=bks&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjvhPD6nYr8AhXZEFkFHTlwDyAQ_AUoAXoECAEQCw&biw=1298&bih=724&dpr=1.25 has "metrisable" in its title (and it's by a reputable editor (Springer). But really it does not matter. PatrickR2 (talk) 07:57, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

River/map discussion

Hello Hooman Mallahzadeh. I happened to revisit the discussion you started on WP:VPP about the use of maps in our river articles, and in the process of doing so i noticed that you notified the Geography Wikiproject; that in itself certainly isn't a concern, probably to be commended, but i did want to mention to you (in case no one else has) that the way you did so could probably be construed as canvassing. Please understand, i don't think that you intentionally canvassed according to our definition, just that some might think so: Think of this as a point to remember next time you want to draw in other editors to a discussion. If you look at what you wrote, it clearly shows your opinion, gives arguments to justify that opinion, and asks editors to go to the discussion and vote for what you want; a more neutral message might have been along the lines of "There is a discussion at VPP about the use of maps in river articles; your input would be welcome." D'you see the difference? I will end by repeating ~ this is not to be regarded as a complaint, simply a suggestion to be more careful next time. Hope to see you around. Happy days, ~ Lindsay^Hello 12:55, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
