Talk:Legoland Discovery Centre

Spelling convention
It looks like we need to discuss which spelling of the word "centre" is to be used. A recent editor, in a good-faith move, revised the article to spell the word as "center" and even created a duplicate article under the name Legoland Discovery Center, which initially was set up as a redirect to this article. The editor, in his edit summary, noted that the website for the company does use the "-er" spelling, but most every other use on the page uses "-re". Further, it would seem that the only use for the "-er" spelling is for the names of the American locations, since "-er" is the preferred American spelling. I know there have been a number of questionable edit conflicts regarding British vs. American English, so I would request that we hash this out first before making a final decision ... and when that decision is made, the article should be moved instead of duplicated. Thanks. --McDoobAU93 (talk) 18:36, 24 January 2010 (UTC)


 * (edit conflict) 'Centre' is the correct spelling, as per the LDC website, logo, and all descriptions by Merlin Entertainments. (note: it would appear that both www.legolanddiscoverycentre.com and www.legolanddiscoverycenter.com are active and point to the same destination, so URL alone cannot be used to decide this). Being a British/European brand, they're using the British/European spelling, and per WP:ENGVAR we should follow suite. Talk Islander 18:39, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
