Where are the lunar soil samples returned by the Luna program today?

Is there a reason the British spelling for Program is used here? This isn't Cyrillic, so I don't see a reason not to use the more widely used spelling of "program", especially considering that, for instance the Vostok program uses the U.S. spelling. StuartH 13:46, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

In general no dialect has precedence. From the Wikipedia:Manual of Style - Cultural clashes over grammar, spelling, and capitalisation/capitalization are a common experience on Wikipedia. Remember that millions of people may have been taught to use a different form of English from yours, including different spellings, grammatical constructions, and punctuation. For the English Wikipedia, there is no preference among the major national varieties of English. (although there is an etiquette which the manual goes on to discuss). Jll 23:55, 20 Jul 2005 (UTC)
