From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome, and thank you for correcting spelling on the Komodo dragon page on Wikipedia! However, both spellings of the word you "corrected" are acceptable.

Please familiarize yourself with American and British English spelling differences before making further spelling corrections to articles. Wikipedia has 7,277,770 registered users on this English Wikipedia. These editors use different versions of English including American English and British English. The list of dialects of the English language goes on and on.

When many styles are acceptable, avoid changing from one style to another unless there is some substantial reason for the change. It is acceptable to change from American spelling to British spelling only if the article concerns a British topic or vice versa or if you are making the article internally consistent.

More information is available at Wikipedia's Manual of Style. Enjoy your time on the encyclopedia. Thank you. Feezo (Talk) 21:03, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Komodo Dragon

As Feezo said, "septicaemia" is chiefly British, but "septicemia" is chiefly American. For consistency, we have used American spellings and weights first. Please don't keep changing them around. bibliomaniac15 21:52, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
