Welcome!

Hello, Ashleymcvickermsu, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Elysia and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Note about variants of English

Hi Ashleymcvickermsu, just wanted to let you know that I removed your edit to Angel cake. While your edit summary indicated your belief that you were fixing misspellings, the words you "fixed" were not misspelled, they were British English. As we are on the English Wikipedia, any kind of English is accepted, not just "American English". Generally, whatever style is first established in an article is the one that should be retained (MOS:RETAIN). Things with strong regional ties are typically written about in that variant of English (the article for Australia is written in Australian English, the article for Elizabeth II is written in British English). As far as measurements go, SI (the metric system) is preferred, but you can get both to display using the "convert" template. In edit mode, click insert, then "template" from the dropdown, then type in "convert". Example: I walked {{convert | 50 | mi | km}} displays as I walked 50 miles (80 km). Let me know if you have questions. Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:29, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
