National varieties of English

Hello. In a recent edit to the page Transport Scotland, 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 first 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. 10mmsocket (talk) 08:05, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

Quotations after punctuation

Please stop moving quotation marks to be after punctuation, per MOS:LQ. -- ferret (talk) 18:42, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

Aye aye captain. Any chance you could help me with fixing the formatting thing I posted a talk topic (?? idk what the Wikipedia lingo is) about? The 2021 Oregon Ducks Football thing Pac12dan (talk) 19:33, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

Did you follow the link given above which goes to a page that explains how it should be done? Stop moving punctuations in and out of quotes. Graywalls (talk) 21:37, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

I did follow the link, I read the "Wikipedia:Logical quotation on Wikipedia" article, and now I'm making edits that align with logical quotation. Are any of my recent edits incorrect? Periods go before end quotations when it's a complete sentence ending, periods and commas outside go after end quotations for incomplete sentences, fragments, single words, and when it's not in the original quote.

Edit: Periods go before end quotations when it's a complete sentence ending *and* when it's in the original quote Pac12dan (talk) 21:43, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
