Hi, I live in West Sussex, UK and I am primarily interested in getting the information concerning my local area in Wikipedia as accurate as possible. I am also interested in Education being the governor of two schools and I have a passing interest in classic cars.
One thing I would say however is that the more I wander around Wikipedia the more I find it a shame that it seems to be so dominated by a self important clique of those 'in the know' who seem to have very little regard for anyone who just wants to 'pop in' and perhaps add a few words here and there about something specific they know of or maybe add a relevant photo. Contributors seem too often to be sneered at if they don't know all the many, many rules and regulations, policies and procedures. Still it can't be all bad, I seem to look in most days!
This user is pro-choice for different types of English and is against the Americanization of Wikipedia.
On the whole if it's a British topic, I think that it's only right and proper that we use British English, but I would always respect U.S. topics by using U.S. English there. This is in-keeping with current guidelines. I hope that other contributors will also respect the guidelines and refrain from "fixing" the variant of English without having a valid reason for doing so.
