Wikipedia:Standardize spellings/Archive

This site currently uses both American Spellings and Commonwealth British Spellings. I feel the American spellings should be added to the Wikipedia Style Guide and all British Spellings should be changed over. Imagine all the schoolchildren who are using Wikipedia in the classroom and learning how to spell incorrectly (not that -ours, -ises, and -nnes aren't correct in England.) If we want to be taken seriously, we need standards! Juppiter 07:51, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

ETA: We reached a consensus, so I think it's time to close this poll.

I've created a page for a vaguely similar but more restricted proposal:Wikipedia:Standardise article title spellings or ensure appropriate redirects. Benwing 03:22, 25 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
