Reply from Xn4
Hello, the Greatgavini. You wrote on my talk page "Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Misplaced Pages's Neutral Point of View policy, and have been reverted." I'm always happy to be corrected, but if you could tell me which edit(s) this refers to and in what way it/they did not conform, it would speed up my learning curve. Greetings, Xn4 07:01, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
- Ah, I didn't mean any of your edits are POV! That's just one of the welcome notices available, and thinking that they're all similar, I put that one on your talk page. I see now it does have some extra stuff about NPOV, but I think it's more for warning you rather than for informative purposes. I'll change it to a more suitable one. All the best, -- THE GREAT GAVINI {T|C|#} 07:37, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
If it was not intended, then the correction would certainly be appreciated. Regards, Xn4 07:43, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
It has been corrected. -- THE GREAT GAVINI {T|C|#} 07:45, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Since the article name is "Flanking maneuver", we should not include other spellings of the word per point one. I have made a redirect Flanking manoeuver to the article already, so there should be no problem. Point two and point three are invalid; per point four, the article should use the dialect of the first significant contributor, which is me.
The examples you gave are single words, whereas an alternate spelling could be provided. However, "flanking maneuver" is a term, and a variant of only one of the word is best not included. See Aluminium battery for example, where the word Aluminium could be spelled Aluminum.
The sentence I removed is: "spelled flanking manoeuvre in Commonwealth and other countries" Incidentally I find this sentence a bit strange and confusing, which is one of the reasons I removed it. "other countries" can mean any other country in the world - whereas it should be any other country in the English-speaking world only.
I have now linked the word "maneuver" into its article, which included the different spellings - hopefully any confusion from Commonwealth readers will be cleared.
Thanks for the compliment :). Unfortunately I made typos throughout the article. Aran|heru|nar 04:14, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
