National varieties of English

Hello. In a recent edit to the page Admiral (electrical appliances), 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. NJD-DE (talk) 17:39, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Tip of the day...

Change text size quickly with Ctrl+Scroll Wheel

If you have a scroll wheel mouse, hold down the Ctrl key on the keyboard while you roll the scroll wheel—it makes the text larger or smaller instantly!

Bonus tip: This tip works in many other applications too! For example, it is generally used for zooming in Microsoft Windows.
