National varieties of English

Hello. In a recent edit to the page Electric Light Orchestra, 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. Ahri Boy (talk) 11:30, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, my bad. I didn't realize that. Wasn't very smart of me. I'll try not to do it again unless it's an American person themselves. 220.240.171.237 (talk) 00:07, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

@Aoidh you blocked a IP like 1.152 for block evasion, which wasn't me. Can you prevent this IP and Maximalistic Editor from getting blocked?blocked? 220.240.171.237 (talk) 10:08, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The other thing is I might have connected to a family's apartment wifi which might be in a blocked rangerange 220.240.171.237 (talk) 10:11, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My ph keeps entering/doing dodgy stuff, so thats why the end word keeps repeating. Sorry 220.240.171.237 (talk) 10:12, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Yamla not directly, but it tells Ms that the IP or range 1.152.104.0/21 ... is blocked and I can't edit with my ph until Nov 2 (I have never used that IP.) Another notable thing is my mobile data IP (this one) has edits from 2019 I didn't make. Will it block me if I log in? 220.240.171.237 (talk) 21:20, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not this IP, my bad 220.240.171.237 (talk) 21:20, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked

Wikipedia's technical logs indicate that this IP address or network has been used to disrupt Wikipedia. It has been blocked from editing to prevent further abuse.
If you are not the intended target of this block, please read the information below in order to receive assistance.

Wikipedia tries to be open, but we sometimes must block IP addresses to prevent editing by abusers, vandals, or block evaders. These blocks can affect users who have done nothing wrong. If you are a legitimate user, follow the instructions below to edit despite the block. Users who are the intended target of a range block may still appeal the block.

IP users (without an account): If you do not have an account and wish to bypass this block, an account can be created to allow you to edit. In general, these blocks only prevent users who are not logged in from editing; once you are logged in, the block will no longer affect you in any way. To request an account, simply click here and follow the directions provided on the page. It is important that you use an e-mail address issued to you by your ISP, school, or organisation, so we may verify that you are a legitimate user. When filling out the account request form, please refer to this block in the "comments" input field. If you've been instructed to request an account via email, please refer to this block in your message.

Registered users (with an account): Please make sure you are logged in to your account. If you are unable to edit while logged in, you may request IP block exemption to bypass blocks unconnected with you that affect your editing. Post an unblock request to your user talk page.

Administrators: Checkusers have access to confidential system logs not accessible by the public or administrators due to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy. You must not loosen or remove this block, or issue an IP block exemption, without consulting a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee. Administrators who undo checkuser blocks without permission from a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee may be summarily desysopped.

This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address.
