English

Changing an article such as Dead centre (engineering) from British English to American English or vice-versa is frowned upon and may get you blocked from Wikipedia. It causes long edit wars where both sides think they are right and wastes everybody's time for no gain. WP:ENGVAR details this. Stepho talk 21:55, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fiefdom

That's your opinion. However, I have an English degree. I win. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Snippert (talk • contribs)

I'm assuming that's a degree in American English. How does that apply in an international context? You are, of course, welcome to take it up at places such as Wikipedia:Village pump (policy) or Wikipedia talk:Village pump to see if you can get the rest of the English speaking world to use only your particular variety of English.

Also remember to sign your messages by adding 4 tilde characters at the end of your message. Stepho talk 22:21, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not attack other editors. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Loafiewa (talk) 03:48, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Talk:USS Enterprise (CVN-65). Loafiewa (talk) 03:22, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is bullying pure and simple. Snippert (talk) 01:30, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
