Information icon Hello, I'm Bagumba. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Byron Scott, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. —Bagumba (talk) 11:40, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I added a citation. Thank you for reminding me! Summerfell1978 (talk) 12:40, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for adding the NBC and Seattle Times sources. I removed BR, as it's generally not been considered reliable (Wikipedia:WikiProject National Basketball Association/References#Generally unreliable). Apologies if "unsourced" in the edit summary was misleading to you. Implicitly it refers to reliable sources, which is consistent with the verifiability policy:

In the English Wikipedia, verifiability means that people are able to check that information comes from a reliable source.

Today I learned that even borderline All-Stars are considered by some to be "role players". Thanks again. —Bagumba (talk) 02:05, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

National varieties of English

[edit]

Information icon Hello. In a recent edit to the page Oregano, 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. Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 11:56, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"For an international topic, use the form of English that the first author of the article used." But if you go back to 2001 it was never clarified. Furthermore Josh Grosse the user is a Canadian mathmatician. Why can't we use 'flavor' instead of 'flavour'? British English is dying. American English is standard now.

Information icon Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Oregano. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges.
Again, you changed wikt:flavours to wikt:flavors - see those Wikitionary definitions. Thank you Adakiko (talk) 11:59, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
