Spelling at Freemasonry
First, welcome to Wikipedia.

The reason why we spell things the way we do (such as spelling "organization" as "organisation") is that we use standard UK spelling, and not standard US spelling. This is the consensus of the editors who regularly work on the article... there were two reasons why we reached that consensus... 1) Freemasonry was started in England, 2) the article attracts a lot of English editors, and it is easier to conform things to their spelling than to have them constantly "correcting" us if we used US spelling.
