Hi - I reverted your edit to MINI (BMW) - and I thought you ought to know why I did that.
You had "corrected" correct British spelling. In British-English, "colour" is the correct spelling and "color" is wrong. In US English, it's the other way around. To resolve these kinds of problems between British and US Wikipedians, the manual of style says that articles that are started in British English - or which are about predominantly British subjects should remain using British-English spelling ("colour", "tyre", etc) - and articles that are started in US English - or which are about predominantly USA subjects should remain using US spelling ("color", "tire", etc). Since I started the MINI article in British English (and the car is made in England) - it should remain in British English and it would be incorrect to "correct" the spelling into US English.
