National varieties of English

Hello. In a recent edit to the page Smoking and pregnancy, 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. — Twassman [Talk·Contribs] 00:52, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Just a random spelling nazi", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it could be perceived to mean that you are an actual Nazi, or could be taken as trivializing the existence of Nazism. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she/they) 09:03, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

I think this is fine, it's like soup nazi, or grammar nazi. No actual fascism involved. Secretlondon (talk) 18:43, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

National varieties of English

Hi, You recently edited Mildew and Mold. 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.

I can see you've been asked no to do this two times already, the message should be clear. Your controversial username implies you like correct spelling. If you actually do, please respect correct spelling. Kardoen (talk) 13:18, 9 June 2022 (UTC)

Very mature. Only reacting when you are in the right and and have a 'gotcha' moment; ignoring all previous sections (and half of mine) where you are wrong.

I admit that using American English seems to have become the standard on the mould page after a user brigaded it; it used to be a page written in British English. But this does not take away that you have a history of needlessly changing the spelling of words from one national variety to another. One time you accidentally did it in the right context does not validate your earlier disruptions.

In the future please consider the spelling of the page and do not needlessly change correct spelling to another variety. Kardoen (talk) 10:27, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

Come on, it literally says Use American English.

Does it not show on your editing device? Just a random spelling nazi (talk) 18:05, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

Yes, it does say to use American English. If you read what I wrote before you can see that I agree. Kardoen (talk) 19:37, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
