National varieties of English
As a new user, you may not be aware of wikipedia's policies in relation to national varieties of English, in particular An article on a topic that has strong ties to a particular English-speaking nation should use the (formal, not colloquial) English of that nation. and When an English variety's consistent usage has been established in an article, maintain it in the absence of consensus to the contrary. With few exceptions (e.g., when a topic has strong national ties or the change reduces ambiguity), there is no valid reason for changing from one acceptable option to another.

The article Law enforcement in Australia clearly has strong ties to Australia & has consistently used Australian English, such as authorised, defence and offence. Please do not alter articles to adopt US spelling such as authorized, defense and offense. --Find bruce (talk) 00:24, 20 March 2020 (UTC)


 * My bad. I forgot the spelling differences between the three forms of English. Thanks for letting me know. DasBoot45 (talk) 13:26, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
