Your edits to Aluminium
Please don't change the spelling in the article. Wikipedia has a policy that where US and UK/commonwealth spelling differ, we use whichever spelling was initially used in creating the article. Aluminium, the international/UK/commonwealth spelling, was the first used here, and we've left that alone.

en.Wikipedia is the English language enyclopedia, not the US spelled encyclopedia. Yes, the inconsistencies can be annoying, but there's no way around compromising on this general issue. Please respect Wikipedia policy and leave the spellings alone. Thank you. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 21:35, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
