English variation

Hello! I've noticed on the recent changes feed that you have been copyediting Cultural appropriation, and I saw that you modified certain words to correspond with the American spelling. Changing the English variation of an article without a solid reason is strongly discouraged, see Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Retaining the existing variety. Note that the article currently has a template at the top indicating that the article uses British English: "{{Use British English|date=February 2023}}". Could you fix those changes and keep this in mind in the future? Thanks! ObserveOwl (chit-chat • my doings) 06:09, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

This also applies to the date format, which you changed in Pan-Indianism. Even though the article has "{{Use dmy dates|date=March 2023}}", you changed at least one date to the MDY format. ObserveOwl (chit-chat • my doings) 06:12, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

My apologies. I was unaware of the template indicating the type of English. I will revert the changes. Bcbc24 (talk) 12:36, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Oh, no problem. Happy editing! :) ObserveOwl (chit-chat • my doings) 18:00, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Minor edits

Hi Bcbc24! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. — Manticore 00:51, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. I will be more careful. Is it an edit that I need to revisit? Bcbc24 (talk) 04:07, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
