Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

In particular, please take a look at MOS:ENGVAR and MOS:RETAIN, that's why I reverted your recent change to Copyright infringement. You should also become a bit more familiar with the Manual of Style as a whole before you continue to make the types of edits you are making. Seercat3160 (talk) 21:16, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

wait a minute, can you explain why you reverted my edit? Lexical Ambuiguity Fixer (talk) 21:21, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Of course. It seems that my edit summary when I reverted broke and so omitted the most important part. What I meant to say was that that article is marked with the template {{Use British English}} (at the top of the article's wikitext). You had changed "penalise" to "penalize", which goes against MOS:RETAIN, which says that one variety of English should be maintained on a particular page. "Penalise" is the spelling used in BrE (following the usual pattern of -ise rather than AmE's -ize). Hope that clears things up. Seercat3160 (talk) 21:29, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
