Animals and tobacco smoke
There was nothing WP:NPOV about my edit. Read the policy before you (mis-)cite it.
Read WP:ENGVAR. You changed from American English to British English, which you cannot do unless the subject is tied to the country.
Read Misplaced Pages:MOS#Capital letters. I was fixing section headers, and you reintroduced errors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cross porpoises (talk • contribs) 11:25, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

Smoking ban
I consider it very unfortunate that you have again decided to implement disputed changes to the Smoking ban article while it is still under discussion. There is presently no consensus for this significant change, and so re-implementing them a third time in as many days could easily be regarded as edit warring. Please do not do this again unless clear consensus is established in their favour.
Some of what you changed I could agree with, but I'm not inclined to pick through the large number of changes you're doing to isolate them. --Escape Orbit 16:05, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
