==British vs American English==
Welcome to The Sims Wiki. I've noticed that a couple of your edits have changed the spelling of words (e.g. colour/color, centre/center) to adhere to ''British English'' standards. While this isn't incorrect, it is worth noting that our [[The Sims Wiki:Manual of Style#U.S._English_and_commonwealth_English|Manual of Style]] says something regarding these changes. I'll allow you to read the appropriate section for yourself, but to sum it up, our policies are as follows:
* You shouldn't change the spelling within an article to conform to your own background/preferences. Both spellings of certain words are acceptable.
* The spelling of certain words should be the same within one article. An article shouldn't alternate between spelling a word as 'color' and 'colour' for example. But if an article in all instances uses 'color', it should be left as-is (or vice versa).
* Ultimately, our Manual of Style states a preference for American English, though not to the point where articles utilizing British/Commonwealth English are edited into American English.
All this should be taken as follows: please don't edit the spelling of words to a different style, unless there is a difference in styles used within the same article.
If you have any questions about this, please leave me a message on my [[User talk:LostInRiverview|talk page]]. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LiR</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">speak</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">read</font>]]</sup>''' 21:13, November 14, 2012 (UTC)
