Welcome

Hello Edzm12 and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your contributions do not conform to our policies. For more information on this, see Wikipedia's policies on vandalism and limits on acceptable additions. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox (but beware that the contents of the sandbox are deleted frequently) rather than in articles.

If you still have questions, there is a new contributors' help page, or you can click here to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.

I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! John from Idegon (talk) 22:01, 26 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

National varieties of English

edit

  Hello. In a recent edit to the page Martha Stewart, 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. Uncle Dick (talk) 02:11, 27 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Categories

edit

Regarding your edits to Michael Che, we don't typically put spaces around the colon in "Category" tags. Category is a special namespace like "Talk" or "Template" and the colon is a separator, like "C:\" on a DOS machine. There is no need for an additional separator after it and it is highly non-standard (although it did not actually break the syntax to add spaces.) Thanks.

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Hailee Steinfeld. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Subtle vandalism, obfuscated by inaccurate edit summaries.

I had to revert one of your good-faith edit, please refer to WP:ENGVAR as it has already been suggested to you above, and changes in the file name of pictures usually result in their failure to display. Khruner (talk) 18:19, 27 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
