Illlinois = Illinois
acccess = access
shoppping = shopping
efficency = efficiency
engieneer = engineer
picutre = picture
efficent = efficient

Thanks for those suggestions Kippson. I had some of them already, but the rest were new to me. Cheers, CmdrObot 00:56, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Found a few more. Is there a full list of the words you look for? Sorry if I'm falsely correcting any British spellings.

practive = practice
schoool = school
recieve = receive
aclimated = acclimated
vally = valley
acknowledgement = acknowledgment
totalled = totaled
judgement = judgment
represenative = representative
membersip = membership
colloquailly = colloquially
countriy's = country's
monarchial = monarchical
unparallelled = unparalleled
governement = government
exerces = exercises
dissemantion = dissemination
controversal = controversial
predominatly = predominantly
northeeast = northeast
efficency = efficiency

Thanks for these other suggestions. I've added some of them to my list, but beware that acknowledgement/acknowledgment, judgement/judgment and totalled/totaled are US/UK variant spellings and you should *not* try to correct them automatically. By the way, my current list of misspellings and corrections can be seen at User:CmdrObot/SpellList.py if you're interested. Cheers, CmdrObot (talk) 20:29, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for correcting Central Milton Keynes Shopping Centre. When correcting spelling errors, the convention is to tick the "minor edit' box and write "sp" in the edit summary. Keep up the good work!. --John Maynard Friedman 18:16, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

In a recent edit, you changed one or more words from one international 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 subjects exclusively related to Britain (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. If it is an international topic, use the same form of English the original author used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to the other, even if you don't normally use the version the article is written in. 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 Wikipedia:Manual of Style. If you have any queries about all this, just ask anyone on Wikipedia and they will help you. Thank you. -gadfium 04:42, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:40, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
