Hello, HatsuneMilku, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might find helpful:

Or, you can just type {{Help me}} on your user talk page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Please read department instructions

Some pages are active departments with their own set of instructions. It may be tempting to skip reading them and go straight to making edits or leaving messages. But this just clutters those pages and creates unnecessary steps for the volunteers of those departments. This happens a lot at the Help desk, the Wikipedia:Reference desk, and at Articles for creation. For example, many users ask general knowledge questions at the Help Desk rather than at the Reference Desk, because they didn't read the instructions at the top of the page. If you visit those pages, please take the time and read the instructions before making use of those helpful departments.

Variations of English[edit]

Please read WP:ENGVAR. I see you changed an article about an American law to British English, but someone else has reverted you so that's ok now. Note that "ize" is used in American and British English. Doug Weller talk 16:27, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Most articles use either American or British English. It depends on a couple of things, mainly the content. If it's on a clearly American subject, it will be American English. Most articles to do with British Commonwealth subjects will use British English, some will use Indian English. Sometimes it depends on the original creator's use. Some articles will have a message on their talk page or a "hidden message" that you see when you edit. One point I will make is many editors don't realise that the spelling "ize" can is both British and American. Doug Weller talk 18:10, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
