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"
Aubergine is a French word left over from the 1800s - 1900s when it became popular in England to use French culinary terms. Everyone else had already taken Eggplant and run with it.
