English variations

[edit]

Just saw your post at User talk:Dgtsyb. It is not correct that US English is the standard on Wikipedia, see WP:ENGVAR. The basic principle is to stick to the variant already established in the article, ie the one established by the first substantive editor. The principle exception is where the subject relates to a specific country, for instance the Chrysler Building should be in American English because it is an American subject.

Fair enough - thats what I get for a throwaway remark on my note to forewarn how these things can sometimes go down. The main thrust was that I've seen those sort of changes end up in fisticuffs, not necessarily the policy. beardybloke (talk) 16:15, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know. I changed the page so that it no longer reads "network maintenance software", but "network planning and design software". I understood your note to be saying that would be a reasonably concrete and neutral synopsis.

The page was in a totally sorry state as I found it. FWIW, WP:COI is not an absolute bar to editing an article. You seem to be able to explain what it does in reasonably neutral English; and if it is notable software (and an old AfD said it was) it probably could use expansion. The perennial problem with pages like Aria's is that they're written by PR people rather than technical people, and that kind of writing is not what we need. The page came came to my attention while searching for spammy sounding phrases. Neutral writing style is my personal obsession. If you can keep it in reasonably neutral, non-promotional, and objective English it will not come to my attention again. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 00:30, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Carnoustie Golf Links, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Shane Lowry (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
