Hello Sass. Sassmouth (talk) 10:14, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
- Hello @Iryna Harpy: The edit i made that you referred to was not a test but an actual edit i intended to have stay on the page Moscow Kremlin if you prefer "At the heart of moscow" vs what i wrote "in the center of Moscow" i'm ok with it. Thank you for welcoming me Cheers Sassmouth (talk) 06:39, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
- Hi, Sassmouth: lovely to have you on board. Yes, I realised what your intention was, which is why I marked it as a good faith copyedit.
- As you're new to Wikipedia, it's sometimes best to leave particular wording as it stands, in this case avoiding a particular form of English spelling where it can be avoided. Please read MOS:ENGVAR. The article hasn't been demarcated as being written in North American English, Great British English, Australian English, etc., and has no national ties (see MOS:TIES) to any English language variant. Where there are no clues (the spelling of 'centre/center'; 'colour/colour'; 'favour/favor'; 'theatre/theatre'; any pre-existing indicators of being written using a particular variant which would suggest MOS:RETAIN), the choice of wording was in sympathy with MOS:COMMONALITY.
- I've actually now templated it as being Template:EngvarB. There are thousands of articles dealing with subjects and places that aren't about Anglophone subjects. Many were started using a particular variation of English, in which case RETAIN is the preference unless most of the editors developing the article decide on a variant via WP:CONSENSUS. By changing the sentence to incorporate 'center', you shifted the balance to North American spelling and grammar. We have to remember that many of the Wikipedians developing these articles are not native English speakers, therefore it's best to accommodate the fact that their first language is not English, and that it's best to give LOTE (Languages other than English) contributors more scope to develop the article as they're privy to better references and a better understanding of the subject than that which is available in English language sources alone.
- I understand that the learning curve is a big one when you first start out as an editor, but you'll get a feel for it soon enough. In the meantime, please feel free to ask me more questions if you need to. Happy editing! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 04:46, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
Hello @Iryna Harpy: I get what you are saying thank you. I will try to be more language neutral with my edits on certain articles. i think it may be very challenging for me tho. When i get a chance i want to provide some citations for the moscow kremlin article but i fear that alot of the sources for the moscow kremlin article are in russian.Sassmouth (talk) 21:23, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for September 22[edit]
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Salt Bridge (film), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Migrant. 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.

You deletion vote.[edit]
Hi I removed you vote as the deletion discussion is part of I/P conflict and per WP:ARBPIA3 you not allowed to edit such articles.--Shrike (talk) 16:45, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
@Shrike: I made a good faith edit there ? Is this why i am forbidden ---->accounts with fewer than 500 edits, and accounts with less than 30 days tenure are prohibited from editing any page that could be reasonably construed as being related to the Arab-Israeli conflict. Please clarify thank you??Sassmouth (talk) 22:16, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
- You have less then 500 edits last time I checked so you allowed to edit ARPBIA articles--Shrike (talk) 05:53, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
