National varieties of English

Hello. In a recent edit to the page Takhtasinh Parmar Prize, 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. William Avery (talk) 12:48, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

Bad edits

Hi, with this edit (—and with this—) you made exactly the same kind of bad edits as indefinitely blocked users Rithme4 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and Graph.williams (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), as described for instance in the thread User_talk:Rithme4#Bad edits. Are you by any chance the same person? - DVdm (talk) 13:50, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi there. After creating an account here, the Wikipedia asked me to edit a random article and I edit just what I noticed. The similar edits were on the next article. Sorry, if it was some kind of rules violation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leonard Willkins (talk • contribs) 14:21, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

Upon reviewing this edit it looks like you have no understanding of the subject of the article, and that you are using some kind of grammar checker, as if English is not your first language. Please see comments about the usage of such tools on the talk page of the blocked users that I mentioned above. Thanks. - DVdm (talk) 14:40, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

By the way, you still haven't answered my question: are you the same person who used the usernames Rithme4 and/or Graph.williams before? - DVdm (talk) 08:04, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

No. Why should I be the same person as you've mentioned in your message? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leonard Willkins (talk • contribs) 8:10, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

Because you made the same kind of errors as that person. I was just wondering. Please have look at their talk pages. They ended up blocked for this kind of editing. Thanks. - DVdm (talk) 08:16, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

Oh, I see. As I said earlier, after creating an account here I made edits on the random article Wikipedia showed me without reading editing rules or guidelines. As far as I can see, users, you've mentioned performed such edits constantly. What about my qualifications, I have masters degree in physics and astronomy and also I am experienced in various internet technologies. So, I am glad we find out that I am not the same person as that blocked users. Leonard Willkins (talk)

Our qualifications don't really matter here — see the essay Wikipedia:Ignore all credentials. But I am susprised that someone with a degree like yours would replace ([1]) the essential phrase "causally but only probabilistically" with "casually but only probabilistically", revealing a lack of understanding of the subject of that article. Apart from the changes of national varieties of English, all your other changes to that article suggest that you are not familiar with the standard jargon that is used in such articles. - DVdm (talk) 08:53, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

By the way, user Graph.williams is also experienced in various internet technologies, as you can see when you look at his contributions (Special:Contributions/Graph.williams). All his errors are extremely similar to all yours in that edit. - DVdm (talk) 08:57, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

Okay. I saw his edits. And I already said that I edited the first random article Wikipedia showed me. And I said that I won't do any such edits, because I\ve read the rules already. Despite all my messages, you are writing for the only God knows how many times, than I am the same person as blocked ones. Isn't it enough that I am already sorry for bad edits?

I am not saying that you are the same person, but that you made similar edits and that the other usernames are blocked for exactly that. So if you are careful, everything will probably ok, and you will not get blocked. Cheers. - DVdm (talk) 09:59, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
