::You need to reread WP:RETAIN which clearly states that once an article has an established spelling, that spelling should not be changed. This article had an established US spelling for a long time (a very long time in Wikipedia time).  This article has been on my watch list for many years, and in all that time it used the established US spelling. I believe you have completely missed the point of WP:ENGVAR because it is intended to prevent exactly this type of meaningless dispute. I am only fighting the change because I have several thousand articles on my watchlist due to WP:ENGVAR, and if I turn my back once on an invalid change, then I would no longer have the right to apply WP:ENGVAR on any article. It is a simple matter of being fair in applying the MOS in all cases. If being fair is something that an editor should not do, then I guess I need to stop editing Wikipedia.
