Tuscaloosa
At USS Tuscaloosa (CA-37), you have made a lot of small changes, ones that were unnecessary and ones that were not in line with Wikipedia's manual of style. At WP:MOS, the guideline says not to put a wikilink into a section header, but you put a link to North Africa in one. It says not to capitalize any part of a section header except the first word and any proper nouns, but you wrote "The Bombing of Pearl Harbor and War for the United States" and also "The United States Strikes Back in North Africa". The guideline says to use bold text in a very, very limited way, to describe the article title in the lead section. You added bolding throughout the article, for ships' names. You have chosen to write "the Tuscaloosa" rather than simply "Tuscaloosa"; a decision that goes against the style of other US warship articles, featured articles, such as USS Kentucky (BB-66) and USS Siboney (ID-2999) (and many more). Please check in with Wikipedia:WikiProject Ships, and go to Wikipedia:WikiProject Ships/Guidelines to see what the established guidelines are for ship articles.

In a recent edit to the page Surface acoustic wave, you changed one or more words from one international 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, or New Zealand, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author 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. Binksternet (talk) 16:47, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
