Language[edit]

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 other forms 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. -- Waggers 11:39, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I did try to include the article in question using {{uw-lang|Bransgore}} but perhaps template:uw-lang doesn't support the article parameter (despite the documentation saying it does!). Anyway, the article in question was Bransgore; here's the diff of your edit which I reverted. Cheers, Waggers 07:36, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

For every charity... edit summary[edit]

So that you don't have to "yell" at the vandals in the edit summaries for removing speedies, you can post this on their page {{drmspeedy}}. You can find more of these here: Template:TestTemplates. Thanks, JHMM13 21:17, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, thanks! LostNecromancer 21:18, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. :-D JHMM13 21:25, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the user keeps deleting his Discussion page when I posted the tag. LostNecromancer 21:26, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've reverted it to the last good version by you. If he continues I'll notify admins, but right now it appears he's slowed down. Just remember to always keep civil. There are pretty standardized ways of dealing with vandals. The way I do it when I'm up to it is start by posting a welcome message and test1: {{welcome}} or {{ipwelcome}} and {{test1-n}}. Then move up to test2, test3, test4, and then report it to WP:AIV. So it's usually 3 or 4 steps between first incidence and blocking. You know, now I think about it, vandal fighting on Wikipedia is a rather complicated thing to get into..I've just been doing it for so long that it seems rather easy to me. The main thing is that admins will 99.999% of the time understand your side of an argument if you remain civil...that's pretty much my motto aroud here..stay civil. :-D JHMM13 21:37, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks very much for the templates. XD LostNecromancer 21:39, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. By the way, users are typically expected to make old discussions easily accessible by archiving stuff. This is totally useless to practically everyone except the user who is archiving and any admins that are looking into stuff. It's just another one of those things that's not absolutely required, I guess, but it's nice to do and if you ever get in a scruff of some sort (god knows I have), the admin will appreciate you making stuff easily accessible. It's really easy to archive by simply going up to the URL and typing in /Archive1 after "User_talk:LostNecromancer"..Or you can just click here: User_talk:LostNecromancer/Archive1 and simple past any old discussions you might have into there. If that gets too big, just start an Archive2 or Archive3...and so on. If you want an example of how to do this, check out my talk page: User_talk:JHMM13. Bye now, :-) JHMM13 21:49, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers[edit]

inactive[edit]

Hi I just wanted to let you know that I removed the user box saying that you wanted to be an admin some day. You've only made one edit in the past 5 months, thus it appears you are no longer active here, and some people use that user box to find potential candidates.---Balloonman ^PoppaBalloon 22:07, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
