==Usage and spelling==
For the English Wikipedia, there is no preference among the major national varieties of English (American, English, Canadian, and others). However, there is a certain etiquette generally accepted on Wikipedia:
* Each article should have uniform spelling and not a haphazard mix of different spellings (it can be jarring to the reader). In particular, for individual words and word-endings. For example, don't use ''center'' (American) in one place and ''fibre'' (British) in another.
* Proper names should retain their original spellings. For example, ''U.S. Department of Defense'' and ''Australian Defence Force''.
* Articles which focus on a topic specific to a particular English-speaking country should generally aim to conform to the spelling of that country. A reference to "the American ''labour'' movement" (with a U) or to "''Anglicization''" (with a Z) may be jarring. However, a reference to "the American ''labour'' movement" would be okay on [[New Labour]].
* If the spelling appears in an article name, you should make a redirect page to accommodate the other variant, as with [[Aeroplane]] and [[Airplane]], or if possible ''and'' reasonable, a neutral word might be chosen as with [[Glasses]].
* If an article is predominantly written in one type of English, aim to conform to that type rather than provoking conflict by changing to another. (Sometimes, this can happen quite innocently, so please don't be too quick to make accusations!)
* Consult Wikipedia articles such as [[English plural]].
* If all else fails, consider following the spelling style preferred by the first major contributor (i.e., not a stub) to the article who used a word with variant spellings in the article or the title.
*If a word or phrase is generally regarded as correct, then prefer it to an alternative that is often regarded as incorrect. Thus "alternative meaning" should be used rather than "alternate meaning" since dictionaries often discourage or do not even recognize the latter. For example, the ''American Heritage Dictionary'' "Usage Note" at ''alternative'' simply says: "Alternative should not be confused with alternate."
