Disambiguation link notification for February 2
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Luna Perez v. Sturgis Public Schools, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page National Association of the Deaf. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

English variants
[edit]Hi, Govols90, and thanks for your edits to Sigmaringen enclave. I had to undo them, because your edits changed some words from AE to BE spelling (rumours, etc.), leaving the article in an inconsistent state, with some words in BE, and others in AE. The convention is to leave the article in whatever it was in the beginning, whether BE or AE, or how it settled by consensus; this is called MOS:RETAIN. The only exception is when there are national ties to a particular country: even if London Bridge started out in American English and had remained that way, it's permitted to change it to British English due to the strong national ties to England and British English. In the case of Sigmaringen enclave, MOS:TIES does not apply, and so we follow MOS:RETAIN. I hope this helps, and once again, thanks for your contributions!
