Then I guarantee you won't want to have anything to do with WP. The minute you try to "clean up" [[United States Constitution]], you're going to get into the mother of all edit wars!
Someone posted to the en: Help Desk telling us, very smugly, they'd found a typo in one of our articles on the Constitution (or the Declaration of Independence), and explaining patiently that this was the *English* way of spelling the word not the *American*.
Much to my delight, it turned out to have been spelt that way in the original (though a lot of online transcriptions silently corrected it...)
