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)[reply]
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. — Manticore00:51, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
