In a recent edit to the page Portal:Turtles/Intro, you changed one or more words from one international 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, or New Zealand, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author 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. Regards, SunCreator ( talk) 17:53, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Jassu86. I'm Qwyrxian, and I signed up to be the mentor for your group for Dr. Obar's class. If you have any questions, you can post them here or on my talk page. Let me know when your group starts working on the project; personally, I'd recommend starting to gather your information on a Sandbox page--that way, you can get it all in one place, even if it isn't organized or formatted yet. You have a different challenge than many of the other groups, because your subject already has a very extensive but not very well written article (I think, I only glanced at it). I'm not quite sure what your assignment is in a case like this; I'll check in with the coordinating ambassador. In any event, please contact me if you have any questions.

You know, it just occurred to me that you may not know that your sandbox has a talk page, on which I've been leaving messages about your updates. You can read those messages at User Talk:Jassu86/Sandbox. Let me know if you have any questions. Qwyrxian ( talk) 03:46, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
Oh, ok. I didn't notice those messages because wikipedia doesn't provide alerts for discussion. Jassu86 ( talk) 13:52, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
