[Wikipedia-l] A language question

[Karen AKA Kajikit]

I am Australian, and so I write my articles using Australian English,
which is pretty much the same as British English... somebody just came
along and re-edited one of my articles, changing most of the terms over
to US English and removing the Australianisms.  I know that most
Americans wouldn't have a clue what a 'milk bar' was, but does that mean
that I should NOT use the term in any of my writing? Australians use the
internet too!

What is the policy on language?
