calling for a movement to eliminate biritsh spelling on wikipedia this is a very serious issue that needs to be confronted it is not professional non npov and inconsistent that we have some articles with british spelling and others without there are even some articles that deal with something thats exclusively american such as the white house for example that have some words spelled the british way this should not be and there should be some uniformity if we wish to have a professional and reliable encyclopedia britian is the only english speaking country that uses their own unique variation of the english language and in british contexts that's usually fine but every other english speaking country used the standard spelling which is generally based on how the word actually sounds and that should be the standard that wikipedia uses it makes absolutely no sense to use one country's variation of dialect no matter how big important or popular it is and completely disregard the rest of the english speaking world's orrect usage of the language in fact pretty much every article that contains a word that differs between the two dialects the british version is favored this also makes absolutely no sense if the majority of a population speaks and or writes a certain way then it's institutions endorsements and websites should speak write that certain way too it is understandable if this website was because that assumes that this is a primarily uk website but this website is so it should follow the standard dialect that other com use this isn't in any way some sort of hate movement or opinion this is an encyclopedia and in encyclopedias information must be consistent and reliable please take your time to think about this issue for the uniformity of this encyclopedia will help ensure that the current and future quality standards will be upheld thanks
