message: So this has been done to death but the article is full of "aluminum" when the title is "aluminium".  Not very consistent.  121.45.222.200 (talk) 09:44, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

text: Wtshymanski, why did you rename the article and revert my edit that made the spelling consistent? The article title is now inconsistent with the many other aluminium alloy articles. ehn (talk) 13:52, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

text: I put an edit commment "spelled as per specification" - the cited documents all spell it this way. --Wtshymanski (talk) 01:03, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  Regardless: you should not have changed the spelling variant without obtaining a consensus here first. The spelling in a specification is irrelevant as the article has used the British English variant when the article was first written and that is the variant that should be retained (per WP:RETAIN). Now change it back. 81.154.179.214 (talk) 16:06, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  It's OK to fix old errors in Wikipedia.  We've had fake scientist, imaginary ham radio band allocations, and many other errors that have persisted for years.These should be fixed when found. Thank you for your attention. --Wtshymanski (talk) 03:30, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not an error. The article was originally written in British English and you had no right whatsoever to change it. 81.154.179.214 (talk) 13:14, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it's an error, as I explained. The American standards spell it "aluminum". Thank you for your continued interest in this topic.  --Wtshymanski (talk) 03:08, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: No it's not an error. Nobody gives a flying fuck how the standard spells it. The article was written in British English and it was spelt correctly for that variant. You are just one of these yanks who is determined to change every spelling into American. 81.154.179.214 (talk) 13:56, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

text: It turns out that Wikipedia requires the IUPAC spelling ('aluminium' in this case) in articles discussing chemical makeup - and this article comprehensively qualifies. (per WP:ALUM) 81.154.179.214 (talk) 17:59, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
