Hello. I want to ask you why you always change the spelling and the date format changes, while it was not needed? If you look at all the articles of the previous typhoon seasons, you do notice that:
Some (or most) articles have the template {{Use mdy dates}}. While not all use or enforce this template, it is generally the preferred date format.
Some (or most) articles DO NOT contain any templates about various English accents, such as {{EngvarA}}, {{EngvarB}}, {{Use American English}}, {{Use British English}}. American English, likewise, is just the preferred accent and not the compulsory. Some British spellings, such as towards or afterwards (in contrast to toward and afterward in American) are completely acceptable, though most spellings such as organize, center or favorable are more generally used.
There's no such thing which indicates American English as the preferred accent or mdy as the preferred style. And no I myself don't have any preference I just follow what other people recently do and the spellchecker. It appears that you are the one who's having a personal preference.

I have to admit that I was wrong when I said American English was the preferred accent, but after some discussions with Sam Sailor, who pointed that most articles in the area, related to the Western Pacific basin, may or may not implement mdy format. If not, then it is just the de facto format, but all articles I can find use mdy format. As per the good articleEffects of Typhoon Yagi in Vietnam, it uses British English (BrE) and mdy formats because that is how dates are written and the accent used in the country's primary education. You mentioned that you followed what other people had recently done and the spellchecker, but as you can see, no one wastes their time changing all American spellings to British spellings and the date formats. Only you do that, and it violates the MoS (I forgot which part while typing this, but it's still true). For AmE (American) spellings, I only change it to match the spellings above, it's actually not my preference as mentioned above. EmperorChesser (talk) 11:42, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
UPDATED: I think your spellchecker was set to BrE, that's why you changed everything. In that case, unless it's an obvious misspelling, please don't change it. EmperorChesser (talk) 12:49, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Didn't you see the article name? It just says the effects of the typhoon in Vietnam, where BrE is used. The main article for Yagi clearly does not follow that configuration. EmperorChesser (talk) 13:14, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Typhoon Danas (2025). This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
I don't think what I did was contrary to the MoS, given how this article has evolved since early July 2025 (please elaborate further if you insist you are right). What you did was however disruptive. You have reverted much further than what you claimed to have acted on, going into other irrelevant edits to the same article down the way.[4] This is the last warning and you will be reported if you don't undo your much further reverts within two hours. 218.250.200.1 (talk) 17:37, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Casting aspertions as you do here is not beneficial for the collaborative editing environment. Perhaps that is something to consider in the future. SamSailor19:49, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
First both of these articles have evolved while having Commonwealth spellings and following the dmy format since the very beginning and have been so for many weeks until EmperorChesser came around to change them. Your MoS claim is just another null and void argument. Second you have gone much further in your reverts than the MoS thing which you have claimed. And this isn't the first time you did so (as hyperlinked above). You have been given time to go back on what you did but there was no action. Aspersions? You serious? You couldn't even spell it right. 218.250.200.1 (talk) 20:36, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
