Spelling and grammar

Please read this and this before making any more edits like this. Also please read articles carefully before making grammatical edits, especially in the case of Featured Articles. For example, you changed "The storyline of the game was considerably different from the N64 incarnation's", which is correct, to "The storyline of the game was considerably different from the N64 incarnations", which is wrong.

(Comment reworked to reduce snippiness! Sorry about the first revision.) Please do try to be careful with this. You have been fixing a lot of genuine spelling errors in the wilder areas of the encyclopedia, but you have also been replacing a lot of international English with US standards. Convention (as cited above) dictates that where the "nationality" of an article's subject is not clear, the original article style should be left intact except in cases of inconsistency within that article. I suppose most computer games would be classified as US, but be careful of cases where the US standard is unclear (is there really concensus in the US that "sabre", "defence", "levelling" are incorrect?) Definitely do not propagate US spellings in articles about such British topics as "The Young Ones" and "Hermione Granger". TheDewi 18:18, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

I'll be more careful in the future. Sorry about that. -Xeon25 20:03, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
