Interesting, I just read that "wanker" translates to "jerk-off" in American --KihOshk 00:23, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey dude, queue vs. line ain't no spelling difference. We have a whole enchilada of pages dealing with this; see American and British English differences and its spinoffs. Best, JackLumber, 13:54, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Disputes over style issues

(copied from Wikipedia:Manual of Style):

In June 2005, the Arbitration Committee ruled that, when either of two styles is acceptable, it is inappropriate for a Wikipedia editor to change from one style to another unless there is some substantial reason for the change. For example, with respect to British spelling as opposed to American spelling, it would only be acceptable to change from American spelling to British spelling if the article concerned a British topic. Revert warring over optional styles is unacceptable; if the article uses colour rather than color, it would be wrong to switch simply to change styles, although editors should ensure that articles are internally consistent. If in doubt, defer to the style used by the first major contributor. See Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Jguk

Respectfully, --Dystopos 23:32, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Again with the style issues

If the whole article is internally consistent with it's style, don't go and change words back to "British" english just because that suits you better. Example: "center"--> "centre" Don't do the above. There's no point. They mean the same thing, and since it was originally written as "center", just leave as it is. The original style is what stays. DO NOT edit with style corrections AGAIN!

Unfortunately, they are not the same in the world of HTML-tags; this "author" has been shown to change the tag "color" to "colour", thus rendering some HTML formatting inoperable.--KihOshk 05:04, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Warning about changing spellings

You have been alerted before that changing spellings from American English to British English is not acceptable (unless the topic is a specifically Commonwealth one). As such, this is a warning that if you persist, as you have been in the article Garfield, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Please stop. Thank you. Powers 23:54, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yet another warning about your spelling changes

Please heed the above warnings about spelling. Thank you. --Cultural Freedom 2006-07-17 08:13 (UTC)
