Actually, we don't have a Wikipedia in Klingon.
that's a surprise
BTW, have you considered contributing to sco.wikipedia?
no
Really? I thought it was
en.wikipedia.org...
- I think we can safely consider this as not providing a great deal of
useful insight into our language policy :-)

my turn to do a "..."
Actually, the policy is (or at least was):
* If subject of article is British (or other Commonwealth
English)-related, use Commonwealth English.
* If subject of article is USian, use US English
* If neither applies, majority style (in case both are used) of original
author is preferred.
And what of "Aubergines" and "Eggplants"? "Colour" and
"Color"
I mean there are several issues here: cultural
imperialism, ambiguation
(because of the many differences in
American-English and English usage),
and
English learners learning to spell incorrectly
and talk like Americans -
why
is it wrong to resist that?
You are welcome to create your own fork of the site in Commonwealth
English, provided you comply with the GFDL.
Happy to do so, but what I really want is a fork called "American-English".
