Hello. In a recent edit to the page Sanford Burnham Prebys, 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 first 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. CodeTalker (talk) 17:46, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
- Hi CodeTalker, thank you for the insight and apologies about that. I just saw some wording that appeared naturally odd to me, so I fixed it without considering how others may perceive it. I will be more careful next time and much appreciate your guidance. Jetsetter84 (talk) 03:36, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Mohammed bin Jassim Al Thani, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use your sandbox. Please see WP:OVERLINK Drmies (talk) 23:25, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @Drmies Ok point noted. Thanks! Jetsetter84 (talk) 23:29, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
- @Drmies The "test edit" you refer to was simply adding a wikilink to Qatar. Personally, I don’t think that really qualifies as a test edit, and flagging it that way might come across as a bit discouraging to someone who's new. Please be gentle with our newcomers!

Mirrors
Thanks for contributing to the article 1820. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that material must be verifiable and attributed to reliable sources. You have recently used citations which copied, or mirrored, material from Wikipedia. This leads to a circular reference and is not acceptable. Most mirrors are clearly labeled as such, but some are in violation of our license and do not provide the correct attribution. Please help by adding alternate sources to the article you edited! If you need any help or clarification, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia or ask at Wikipedia:New contributors' help page, or just ask me. Thank you.

- Hi Sam, Ok understood. I will go and make the relevant change for article 1820. Thank you for pointing it out for me. Jetsetter84 (talk) 00:25, 14 July 2025 (UTC)

Hi, please don't add generic names for authors in references. This is explained at Category:CS1 errors: generic name, regards Atlantic306 (talk) 22:52, 16 September 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @Atlantic306 ok sorry, will have fixed up. Jetsetter84 (talk) 03:03, 21 September 2025 (UTC)
- No problem, thanks. If there isn't a name of the journalist just remove the parameters titled first and last and their contents, regards Atlantic306 (talk) 22:23, 21 September 2025 (UTC)
