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 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 talk page. -- LiR speak ~ read 21:13, November 14, 2012 (UTC)
