Regional spelling differences
Hello, and thank you for your contributions.

As you read Wikipedia, you will come across articles written using a variety of English spelling conventions. These are not mistakes, and generally should not be changed. If an article's subject is decidedly British (Trafalgar Square or Arsenal F.C., for example) then it should use British spelling. If the subject is decidedly American (such as Times Square or the New York Yankees), it should use American spelling. If the subject doesn't belong to just one country, as is the case with :, the spelling used is at the discretion of the article's original author or, sometimes, community consensus. The dialect used should be uniform throughout each article, so as not to be distracting or confusing to readers, but need not (and should not) be uniform throughout all of Wikipedia.

For more information and comparisons, see the Manual of Style entries on English dialects and English spelling comparisons. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me. Thanks again for your contributions, and happy editing!
