Did you know?
Did you know that changes like the ones you made to rocket engine, that shift an article from American to British English spellings (or vice-versa), are the subject of a Wikipedia policy? Can you explain the reasoning for the changes you made? Are you aware that you have an opportunity to explain each change you make in its "edit summary"?

These changes were made for a reason; to correct the spelling. English was orginially spelt with "s" instead of "z" and there is no reason to have the "z" in place of it. The only reason America used "z" is because they didn't wish to use the "queen's" english and therefore changed the spelling. There was no good reason to change the spelling of these words so they should've remained constant. I was simply correcting a mistake made by the Americans and changing it back to the correct and proper english.


 * You might want to read Oxford spelling and WP:ENGVAR. In the second, you might pay particular attention to the part marked, "Retaining the existing variety". It's rather like a policy or something. Cheers! (sdsds - talk) 04:19, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
