Thank you for the message. I've made a second pass over the article. ~ Jayowyn (talk) 17:50, 28 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. I didn’t want to mess with your edits. Doug Weller talk 18:27, 28 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

I appreciate that, thank you! Jayowyn (talk) 18:32, 28 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

  Hello. In a recent edit to the page Polish cuisine, 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 and hopefully you don't mind a little bit of templating :) —Alalch E. 02:55, 15 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hello! Thank you for your message! I couldn't determine whether the "original" author used American or British English, as both were present in the article. And I didn't see a header tag requesting one version over another. There also isn't a clear choice since the article is about Polish culture.

Looking at a previous version of the article, it appears British spellings are used more frequently. So, I'll use that. (I'd like to standardize the spellings one way or another.) I see you already reverted some spelling changes and marked as MOS:RETAIN. Thanks for that!

Thanks for your help. An article you marked as completed (Werdersch) is still tagged for copyediting. Since the object of these drives and blitzes is to reduce our backlog, please finish the copyedit and remove the tag (which will remove the page from the backlog). Thanks and all the best, Miniapolis 17:01, 9 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi! I finished my copyediting but kept the tag on purpose. Some sections in the article need additional editing from an expert in linguistics. I updated the {{copy edit}} tag with a new description and date to call attention to that. Should I do something different? Jayowyn (talk) 05:27, 10 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Yes; leaving the copyedit tag on keeps it in the backlog. Please replace it with {{expert needed}} and see Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/How to; a copyeditor doesn't have to fix everything in an article  . All the best, Miniapolis 15:02, 10 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Sounds good. I removed {{copy edit}} from the article and kept {{expert needed}} on the relevant section. Thanks! ~ Jayowyn (talk) 17:35, 10 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for editing page Kadeng Thangjahanba and Tonu Laijinglembi. I appreciate your edit but I also want to ask you to provide the citations in the paragraphs that you have shifted/created into new places. Otherwise, future editors might remove the paragraphs as those are uncited. In the previous versions of edits, I have left all the paragraphs sourced with citations. Thank you!

Please do it for Ura Naha Khongjomba and Pidonnu too! Thank you! Haoreima (talk) 09:28, 28 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

That's a good point! Thank you for catching that. Similar references have also been consolidated now. Cheers :) Jayowyn (talk) 16:56, 28 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
