Welcome to Alexjos1858’s page. I am an Editor, Writer, Grammarian and an English Language Learner (ELL).

I am always open to collaborate with you reading this. I will be breaking a Guinness World Record which is the longest Edit-a-thon Nigeria, next month. I'm going to work a lot for those days of marathon editing.

I will be updating my page frequently. Kindly stay tuned!

National varieties of English

Hello. In a recent edit to the page Southern Rhodesia in World War I, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Misplaced Pages has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages 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. .

The article uses South African spelling, not American English spelling. bonadea contributions talk 15:55, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Bonadea! Thank you for pointing out these amazing corrections. I and my team are currently discussing over the Misplaced Pages: Manual of Style. We are always open for you to help us out. We don't know everything, and we're ready to learn more. Our team leader has warned us about the way to go about quality editing on Misplaced Pages.Thank you.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make disruptive edits to Misplaced Pages contrary to the Manual of Style. asilvering (talk) 01:33, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

Please refer to the discussion at WP:ANI#New seemingly-related group of good-faith but deleterious West African copyeditors. -- asilvering (talk) 01:33, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, @Asilvering. The team wants the best for Misplaced Pages, but you guys has been making this difficult when you all know we are actually learning more on the work. How could we know this if we didn't have this live and practical event. If I must be real with you, you guys are not making Misplaced Pages conducive for us with all your dragging on this website since 2 days ago. Yes, we admit our mistakes but why do you think blocking everyone's account would be the best shot to stop this Edit-a-thon if that is the case this isn't fair. To round this up, the title of the dragging is highly defamatory when you are using New seemingly-related group of good-faith but deleterious West African copyeditors, the word 'deleterious' begins to change everything, why would you use that kind of word on us? With all the edits we have been doing so far, and because we made a few mistakes, you want to cancel everything. The experienced editors are clearly discouraging us, when we all know that the "Young shall Grow up one day" and that is the whole point. Alexjos1858 (talk) 05:18, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

Well, I'm not Remsense, who is the editor who wrote the "deleterious" phrase, but I can imagine why they wrote that - because they are probably feeling something quite like what you're all feeling right now: "look at all these editors undoing all of my hard work!" This editathon has been driving other editors so crazy they want all of you blocked from editing. I don't want to stop you guys from editing. I think it's great that you're all learning to edit wikipedia together, and I hope you manage to meet your world record goal. You're not going to be able to do that if you all get blocked for disruption. So please, take the advice I've given in the threat at WP:AN. There are so many things that need doing on Misplaced Pages that you can help with. If you have questions, you can ask me, you can ask in that AN thread, or you can ask at WP:TEA, which is specifically there to help new editors. I promise that there are lots of experienced editors who will be happy to help you learn how to edit Misplaced Pages. But no one will be happy to help you learn English. You've got to do something that's less difficult than copy editing. -- asilvering (talk) 05:57, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
