You are again requested to explain why you keep changing Thailand articles from American to British English (to say nothing of why you keep crushing the life out of them). Tinglish is not a British variant. -- D. Guillaume (talk) 04:50, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
- If you were aware of previous discussions and agreement then you would not need to ask
- Oh, I am. That's why I was wondering if you were going to supply an answer for a change. Continuing to edit war will result in a temporary block, which I would very much prefer not to do; I would suggest you discuss your changes more thoroughly first. It does not appear that English is your first language (or you are unfamiliar with many common idioms), meaning that you are perhaps accidentally introducing more problems than you are solving. -- D.

- (Other readers unfamiliar with this user may see more background at the following two entries.)
- Clearly you are unfamilar, as there has been agreement that US-spelings are in appropriate for Thailand articles, and also other SE Asian countries. Ay edit war is by yourself and a block would better suited to yourself as you are reverting againsy existing agreement + adding flawed content.
- One, your edits cover much more than spelling, and have been contested by multiple editors on those grounds; again, there is no reason to render them lifeless. Two, the form of English in Thailand is mixed, using both forms to various extents; there is no reason to change them from one to the other, and certainly not when you keep introducing other errors in the process. There is no uniform agreement that US spellings are inappropriate nationwide. Third, while changes are appropriate if a given attraction explicitly uses one form, you have even ignored those, e.g. in this edit, where a half second to eyeball their own webpage would have demonstrated that your edit was in error.
- I, and several other editors, have and will continue to revert changes that reduce the quality of articles. If you wish to continue to make those changes, seek consensus first. I'm certainly not going to keep typing the exact same thing into the edit summary box every single time. -- D. Guillaume (talk) 05:15, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
- Please stop adding US spellings where they are inappropriate.
