[edit]I'm not going to engaging in edit warring over British vs American spelling, but regarding this edit of yours, and more specifically your edit summary ("restore consensus version changed by User:Yilloslime"): The consensus version of the page is with "colorless" not "colourless". There was a much controversy of this about a year a go, but the page had been stable ever since with "colorless", until AssegaiAli (talk · contribs) restarted the editing warring with this edit a couple weeks ago. In the future, please refrain from claiming editors' actions run counter to consensus when they are simply returning a page to its last stable version. Yilloslime TC 17:01, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
- I disagree. As far as I can tell the discussion that you took part in ended with leaving the spelling as colourless - and that is the consensus then. You slyly changed that under the guise of another unrelated edit so it seems to me that you are in no position to lecture other people on what is or is not "consensus".--Sinazita (talk) 12:02, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
- I owe you an apology. I misread/misremembered the page's history. Somehow I thought after the talkpage discuss ran out of steam, the page had been left with the "colorless" spelling, when in fact it was "colourless" until October. So: sorry for jumping down your throat. Yilloslime TC 03:38, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Temple of Eshmun
[edit]Hi. I assume you wrote about the BCE/CE issue on the temple of Eshmun talk page? What I was trying to do there was expand on your sentence, to give more incentive for it to be changed from BC/AD to BCE/CE. MrMonday1(talk) 01:52, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
- Please rather state your own opinion on this issue. In any case the point that BC/AD is only a religious system is generally considered a red herring.--Sinazita (talk) 13:35, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
Blackfoot
[edit]I liked most of your changes there, they were helpful. However it is considered bad form on Wikipedia to change from British or American spellings once the article is already established with one or the other. Therefore, I am changing back all the instances of "practise" to "practice". --Kevlar (talk • contribs) 06:36, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
- I think I was under the impression that the article used the British (Canadian) spelling. I was having trouble identifying the article's conventions generally and was only partly successful in fixing the unnecessary flip between 'buffalo' and 'bison'.--Sinazita (talk) 08:45, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
