In a recent edit, you changed one or more words from one international variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For subjects exclusively related to Britain (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to other English-speaking countries, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the appropriate variety of English used there. If it is an international topic, use the same form of English the original author used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to the other, even if you don't normally use the version the article is written in. Respect other people's versions of English. They in turn should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any queries about all this, you can ask me on my talk page or you can visit the help desk. Double Blue (Talk) 23:34, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

programme is quite acceptable in Canadian spelling and especially in context of the IB Diploma Programme. Cheers! Double Blue (Talk) 23:55, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

I urge you to check your sources. programme, Chambers, and the Canadian Oxford Dictionary are a good start. USA usage is "program". International and especially British usage is "programme". As usual, Canada has a mix of use and therefore should continue in the spelling that the article originated in. In this case, the IB programme is an international programme and uses "programme" http://www.ibo.org/diploma/ Double Blue  (Talk) 00:14, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
