thread_title:  Edibility 

message: This article was just converted from British to American English. I'm not sure how to apply WP:RETAIN in this case. The article started as a stub written in British English (using the spelling "colour") . The first post stub edit introduced the American spelling "color" while retaining instances of British "colour" (). I'm not seeing any point in the history of the article where all instances of colo(u)r have been spelled consistently. My reading of WP:RETAIN suggests that American English should be used as it was used in the first post stub edit, but the article has a long history of using predominantly British spellings.

replies: text: I know it's old, but I'll throw in my two bits. I'm personally of the opinion that consistency is more important than the particular brand of English being used. You may feel free to apply the spelling you prefer as long as it is used consistently throughout the article.---Puff (talk) 05:17, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  British or American English? 

message: A common variety has white flowers flecked with red.  As a child I used to call it the "peppermint" carnation.  If memory serves, my florist grandfather said it was called the Martha Washington carnation. I'm surprised not to see it mentioned here. Kostaki mou (talk) 22:45, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
