Hiya, I have read the policies and guidelines. I have corrected the spelling from American English to British English for pages which are written about subjects whom that is their form of the language. Just as I would do if I came across British English spelling when the subject is regarding an American or Canadian whom the American English spelling would be correct.

Subject Jojo Rabbit is a film by a New Zealand director. New Zealand uses the British English spelling.

 * Jojo Rabbit was created and released by an American studio and there has been a consensus to use American English for American films. Where the director is from does not pick what type of English the article uses, but the country that made the film does. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 23:34, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

Calling it "possible vandalism" is demeaning when it wasn't, earlier edits done on this page by another user promoting their youtube channel is vandalism. I used Jojo Rabbit as an example as you mentioned it, however you said my previous edits have been incorrect. Also, I may add that it was produced by Piki Films which is a New Zealand based production company. I stand corrected with this article as you have mentioned it was released by an American studio however I would like to note that quotes by someone who uses British English should be written in the correct form. Likewise if a American was being quoted it would be in their spelling. This is just the same as quotes from historic figures who wrote in old English is often written in the format used at the time (albeit usually a translated script is also included) Thank you Britkiwi (talk) 23:51, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, you "corrected" something in Sarah Bernhardt that wasn't wrong: see the source. Can't "correct" a quote. Drmies (talk) 00:05, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
