  Hello. In a recent edit, 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. I have had to undo several of your edits that introduced errors. If English is your second language, or you use American English, please refrain from editing the grammar or spelling of articles that have a connection to Australia, Britain or New Zealand, as these invariably use the English grammar and spelling. They do not use American English. Thank you. Cambial foliage❧ 08:07, 21 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Kristers Gudļevskis. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. You are still at it "correcting" things that are not incorrect. Please stop.

As noted previously, see MOS:OXFORD: "Editors may use either convention so long as each article is internally consistent." TJRC (talk) 15:56, 22 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Introducing errors

edit

Priyapk1995, you are introducing many many errors into Wikipedia articles, with edit summaries like "Grammar mistakes"; I take it you mean that you think you are correcting grammar mistakes, but in fact, you are introducing your own mistakes instead. You've also actually "corrected" the text of the U.S. Constitution with this edit.

Your knowledge of correct grammar, spelling and usage does not appear to be as high as you believe it to be. Please refrain from making similar "corrections" that other editors need to clean up after you for.

Some examples: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]. This is just a start, I'm looking at your other recent edits and there are undoubtedly more.

Also, the use or non-use of the oxford comma is not an error. Please do not "correct" these either. See MOS:OXFORD for guidance on this. The most essential thing for you to realize is "Editors may use either convention so long as each article is internally consistent."
