Collective nouns

Re: your edit at Skunk Anansie:

"IT is A group of people, so SINGULAR. A TENDENCY to drop grammatical number is NO rule and just BAD language"

NOT true in British English, which this article correctly uses. Collective nouns referring to a group use verb "are" in British English. (Since you repeated the edit with only the edit summary "Jeez..." I can't determine whether you understand this or not.) Please see WP:ENGVAR. General Ization ^Talk 19:27, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Robvanvee. An edit that you recently made to Red Hot Chili Peppers seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want to practice editing, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Robvanvee 18:35, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

Collective nouns for bands

Please revert your mass changes to band articles that use "are" for bands. This is correct in British English, which these articles are written in. See WP:ENGVAR. I see you have been told about this before. Popcornfud (talk) 13:51, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at The Police, you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. You have been asked twice above and now me for the 3rd time, stop changing were to was and/or visa versa. Read WP:ENGVAR and be sure to understand policy or risk having your editing privilages removed. Robvanvee 13:18, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

March 2023

Hello! I'm MichaelMaggs. Your recent edit(s) to the page Gish gallop appear to have added incorrect information, so they have been reverted for now. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. "Their" is correct. The word has a very long history in English of use as a singular pronoun.

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Tikgeit and WP:ENGVAR. Thank you.Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 12:09, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for not responding to editors who disagree with your edits; you have a talk page at User talk:Tikgeit. Please use it. Any admin is free to unblock without checking with me first once you start responding.
