October 2018[edit]
Hello, I'm Mattythewhite. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, 1980–81 FA Cup, 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! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

"Interstate 495 (Florida)" listed at Redirects for discussion[edit]
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Interstate 495 (Florida). Since you had some involvement with the Interstate 495 (Florida) redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so. signed, Rosguill talk 20:54, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
2020–21 Wessex Football League moved to draftspace[edit]
An article you recently created, 2020–21 Wessex Football League, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Accra and Lilongwe[edit]
Despite clearly stating in by edits about the reason why I reverted your edits in both Accra and Lilongwe, you still continue to revert my edits. It is misleading to readers to state that the sources for Deutscher Wetterdienst and Meteo Climat are in English when the only languages for Deutscher Wetterdienst and Meteo Climat are German and French respectively. I was also the editor who added these sources in the first place to those articles and have added to other city articles so I am familiar with those sources.
Using the Deutscher Wetterdienst source as an example, they have text such as Lufttemperatur, Mittl. Monats-/Jahressumme, Mittl. Tagesmittel, and Jahr. No English Text exists so you cannot claim the source to be in English if all of the words are in German (using a translator does not mean the text is in English). For the Meteo Climat Source (webpage does take a while to load), all the text is in French (e.g. Aller la station Lilongwe (Records, Moyennes), chaud, froid, etc.). No English word exists.

National varieties of English[edit]
Hello. In a recent edit to the page Metrication in Canada, 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. BilCat (talk) 20:13, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
- Canadian English uses meter, liter, center etc. Also Australian English uses -er. Only British English uses -re. --40bus (talk) 06:14, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

City propers over 10 million[edit]
There are very few non-NYC metropolitan areas over 10 million and unlike [[unitary state]]s the national government can't force municipalities to fuse. In fact according to the federal constitution to move a state border requires the federal government and both states involved to agree. New Jersey would lose a lot of tax base and NYC would have to figure out municipal services etc it's almost impossible (city propers can't cross state lines in this country). New Jersey's a different state cause in 1664 AD the English King took New Netherlands from the Dutch, let the Duke of York have it and he gifted the Jersey part to a friend and now ex-debtor (two different men). If he didn't create the New Jersey colony NYC would probably have over 10 million people today. Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 00:44, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Don't want to quench your desire to participate, but your latest round of Language Reference Desk questions are more repetitive, boring, and semi-pointless than any previous round.
