[edit] English Spelling

Please read Wikipedia:Manual of Style#National_varieties_of_English for the currently accepted etiquette conventions on spelling, and in the meantime please stop changing the spelling in existing articles such as visible spectrum. You are welcome to use whichever spelling you prefer for new articles. Itub 20:50, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Advice: English dialects on Wikipedia: Wikipedia has millions of readers; some use American English, or British English, or International English, or any of numerous other local forms from Australia, Canada, Ireland etc. Because of this, Wikipedia has a policy of respecting articles written in whatever form of English the original author of the article used.

The guidelines are simple. For subjects exclusively related to Britain (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. If it is an international topic, use the same form of English the original author used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version the article is written in. Respect other people's versions of English. They in turn should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Wikipedia:Manual of Style. If you have any queries about all this, just ask anyone on Wikipedia and they will help you. Enjoy your time on the internet's fastest growing encyclopædia/encyclopedia. Thank you. --Srleffler 23:42, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
