Hello, ColinClark, I saw your edits Here I was just wondering if you could point me to some information on "SENIOR CROWN program". The references I have about this flight speaks nothing of this program. Thank you Peteypaws (talk) 02:38, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have started a discussion at

In the future, please be more careful about your reverting, I have fixed the single link that is broken. Please leave me a note about your rational that is not related to your geographic location for using a UK English spelling for a french company against the consensus of the community and the common usages everywhere else on the wiki. In the future, if you feel an edit has broken a link, fix it. It was a lot of work to clean the article out in the first place, hyper-nationalist individuals from a small island in the Atlantic had vandalized it with hundreds of hidden comments in an attempt to hijack it. To reiterate: the only variation on tire that might make sense is the FRENCH word "pneu", as it is a french company. Drn8 (talk) 12:07, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

See

wp:engvar. In this case, there appears to be no specific reason to favor tire over tyre, the original article spelling should be retained. In this case tyre. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 12:20, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

• The first non-stub version of the article contains one instance of the word "tyre". which links to the article entitled "tire" This is a bunch of silly nonsense I no longer wish to be a part of. For some reason people who live in the UK currently seem to have overestimated themselves and do not realize it's a small country of 60 million people who are not actually the global authorities on the language that is named for them.Score a victory for the little guys, they have managed to insert a uk spelling into an article about a french company against the rest of the wiki, based on a stub from 2002, and ~2,500 characters of hidden comments in the article to defend it by making it nearly impossible to edit. Wiki is not the place for such petty nonsense, but it seems like the defenders of the Queen's English will not be deterred from their quest to let everyone on earth know they spell things a little differently than the majority of the world's native English speakers by fighting to use a y instead of an i and ignoring everything else and everyone else. </editorial> Drn8 (talk) 13:11, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't just the link, you also messed up (most importantly) the IPA pronunciation and the grammar in several places. It was a very large edit which is exactly why I didn't go through every character of it to find and fix your mistakes when it was immediately clear the edit was done sloppily and carelessly. You still don't seem to know that you messed up the IPA.

I am not involved at all in the tire/tyre dispute, and my revert had nothing to do with it. I happen to think the article should use tire, but the length of the debate and the passion of some of its participants goes far, far beyond how much I actually care about it.ColinClark (talk) 18:42, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You're probably right. Sometimes I have a hair trigger for people adding apparently random sentences to articles. Britmax (talk) 21:55, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No problem at all (FWIW, I didn't add the text originally). Thanks for the message! ColinClark (talk) 22:25, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't notice, as I tend to edit the edit not the editor. Britmax (talk) 22:38, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

Dear ColinClark, I have removed your addition again. The simple reason is that this article is a Good Article, so higher caution is appropriate when adding information. If you can find a source for the information, feel free to add it again, but please also keep in line with the current level of prose, your addition did not really meet the criteria needed for a GA. Thanks. Zwerg Nase (talk) 14:00, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't add it and it wasn't my prose, for the record. I just prefer to use the tags to ask for a cite rather than remove information that it probably correct. Hopefully the editor who did add it comes back with a reference. ColinClark (talk) 22:37, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, sorry, did not look far enough down the article history... Zwerg Nase (talk) 08:36, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
