Advice: Which version of English on Wikipedia

Wikipedia has millions of readers. Some use American English. Some use British English (also known as International English). Some also use local forms like Australian English, Canadian English, Hiberno-English, Indian English, etc.

Because of this, Wikipedia has a policy of respecting articles written in whatever form of English the original author of the article used.

The guidelines are simple:


 * If the topic is exclusively about something to do with Britain, for example, a member of the British Royal Family, or British geography, a famous British person, etc, use British English.
 * If a topic is exclusively about some to do with the United States, for example an American president, or Hollywood, or an American author, etc, use American English.
 * If it is an international topic, use whatever form of English the original author used. So if the article is written in British English, and uses colour, don't change it to color or vice-versa. Remember, American English often uses a z where British English uses an s, for example, recognize/recognise.

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 version of English. They in turn should respect yours.'

The general rules on how Wikipedia articles are written can be seen in our Manual of Style. Type in WP:MS and you'll see the page.

If you have any queries about all this, just ask anyone on Wikipedia and they will help you. Enjoy your time on the internet's fastest growing encyclopædia (or encyclopedia, if you write it that way!). Thank you. Lectonar 12:33, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
