"spelling errors"

edit

Don't refer to regional differences in orthography as "spelling errors" in your edit summaries. Such language only leads to edit warring. For the record, to the extent that any effort is made to change such spelling at all, it is done only so that the article will use all one regional variant or all another and the variant that was used earliest in the non stub versions of the articles history gets seniority. Even so, many editors don't care one way or another unless someone starts calling their particular orthography "spelling errors" which is when the edit wars can begin.Zebulin (talk) 00:50, 21 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
