Forum:SH Archive/Variations of English

Wookieepedia &gt; Senate Hall &gt; 

I've seen different variations of English used in Wookieepedia, and I was wondering if there was a standard of whether we are using American English or British English. I would think American English usage and spelling would be best, since it's usual standards that the subject's (a.k.a. creator) affiliation with a country depends on the variation of English used. For example, J.K. Rowling's books that have been released in the United States still contain British words and usage. An exception to this was the first book (for obvious reasons), but that's hardly the point. Anyway, since George Lucas is not only tied to the U.S., and the official Star Wars site uses American English, we should use the same consistency throughout Wookieepedia as well, in terms of encyclopedic standards. I, however, am not acquainted with what the standards are here, or if there even are standards. &mdash;Mir  len  23:35, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
