British spelling correct for A.R. Wallace
Hi, I wanted to let you know why your spelling corrections to Alfred Russel Wallace were reverted. It is common practice on Wikipedia for articles on British topics to use British rather than American spelling conventions (see WP:ENGVAR if you want to learn more), such as colour rather than color and favour rather than favor. Therefore if you want to run a spell checker on such an article you should make sure that it accepts common British spellings where those differ from American spelling conventions. On the other hand the grammatical correction you made was most welcome, and I hope you will continue to contribute to Wikipedia in the future. Rusty Cashman (talk) 09:11, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
