Unnecessary Americanisation
Hello everyone,

Thank you for all your edits to this article, which I originally created by translating from the French. I'm truly grateful for your help in making the article clearer and improving its quality.

However, I would like to ask why several users have made "corrections" to US spellings. Wikipedia rules state that no particular register of English takes priority unless the article relates to a specific English-speaking country, in which case the English used in that country takes precedence. As this is an article about a criminal case in France, this is clearly not the case here.

Is there any justifiable reason why words such as "jewellery" and "metres" (correct spellings in UK English) have been changed to the US version, as well as the date format?

I have created several US-related articles, in which I have gone out of my way to use American spelling and style. This was not necessary here, being about France; so while such changes are not incorrect, they seem pointless.

Thank you and have a great day. User talk:MorbidStories 08:07, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
