:I am not going to argue with you about this, I am simply going to tell you: you changed a British English spelling ("utilise") to an American English one ("utilize"), and in the case of a regional spelling being changed, the original author's choice (which was mine) has precedence; I only learned this myself after an anonymous US user added "a better, easier, more understandable, accurate name for aubergine" to [[Pac-Man Arrangement/Walkthrough]] at 23:42 on 15th April 2012, and [[User:Moydow|Moydow]] reverted it ten minutes later with the summary "aubergine is the UK English name for eggplant; in such conflicts, the original author's choice has precedence".

::I changed it to country neutral phrasing, there is no need to change it again. You do not own these articles. Also, if you're responsible for sentencing such as the following then you are writing in an unnatural format and the technical info doesn't further the primary function of the StrategyWiki: "and the song that you had been hearing from the Yamaha YM-2151 speeds up, along with the enemies" - the average person doesn't care about the specifics of the Namco System 1 hardware, they are looking for tips and info to help improve their game. | |||
