Varieties of English

edit

Hi DavidIDLE, welcome to Wikipedia. Regarding your changes to Rajendra Chola I here, please don't change the variety of English in articles without a good reason; please see WP:ENGVAR. Articles may have an English variety other than American—articles about India use Indian English—and language usage should be consistent throughout the article. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at my talk. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 22:16, 16 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi, apologies! That was my mistake, I used spellcheck without realizing it was a different spelling rather than a misspelling. Totally my mistake. Thanks DavidIDLE (talk) 22:54, 16 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
And thank you for correcting me, I'll pay closer attention to the variety of English when I'm editing an article. DavidIDLE (talk) 22:56, 16 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
No problem, it's an easy mistake to make (been there...). :) Thanks for your work and happy editing. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 23:27, 16 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
