[edit] language barrier of wikipedia!

I noticed that in the english version of wikipedia that some people from europe had written the articles and that since they have the same ways of pronouncing the words but different spellings which way would be the correct way to spell the words? For example in one article the word meter was spelled metre like the way they spell it in europe! Which way of spelling this would be the correct way for the english wikipedia? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Asizzle44 (talk • contribs) .

Both American English and British English spellings and usage are acceptable on Wikipedia. In general the Wikipedia:Manual of Style gives guidance on such usage. Generally, articles which are primarily relevant to a specific nation are written with that nations spelling (such as American history is written with American style). In other cases, the first major contributor is the deciding factor. Spelling should be consistant with those first uses. For the guidline, see MOS. --TeaDrinker 23:25, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
