National varieties of English[edit]

Information icon Hello. In a recent edit to the page Sherry, 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. Senator2029 “Talk” 19:57, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon I concur with what Senator2029 says above. You have done a similar thing at Sancerre (wine), alongside other legit edits. Just fix the errors in grammar and English, and leave national varieties of spellings alone in future, please. Nick Moyes (talk) 02:09, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
And you've done it again at Wine glass and more than a dozen others. Please stop doing that, or expect to be blocked. Acroterion (talk) 02:11, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Modelled" is British spelling. Since you ignored my warning, you're blocked for 24 hours. Please take advice and warnings seriously, and leave national usage varieties alone. Acroterion (talk) 02:57, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that, I jumped into editing without understanding the rules. Maeghankresge (talk) 03:20, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
